Hiya Cleggie,
You've had so many successes recently, it's just fantastic!!! Well done you!
Sorry I haven't been around life has just been really busy and when I have logged on I've only had chance to update the thread I help on. So apologies for not contributing more often.
You really have come so far, I'm proud of you and I hope you are of yourself too.
Good luck with the rest of your exams and I'll pop back again when I can.
Take care and keep up the tremendous achievements,

Hi All.
Went shopping today, at Mr M. Have updated my signature.
Would normally have gone to L!dl to shop, but in all honesty i am so so tired, that i just wanted to get it over and done with.
More revision to do this evening, but only from 7pm-10pm, so not too bad this evening.
I stocked up on lots of healthy snacks and fruit etc at Mr M, to help boost my energy levels.
Have also started looking into where i can get some free leaflets printed out for this new business idea. Someone told me that vistaprint do free 200 prints...but i havent had time to look into it yet.
Need to get some more holiday clothes for me and the boys. We all need shorts and i need some skirts too. I have been looking on eBay, and will keep an eye on the grabbit board too, so i can hopefully grab some bargains!0 -

Blimey Cleggie, I have missed so much! Glad the exams are going well and much respect for studying on a Saturday night. I'm squished on the sofa between 2 (Aldi) crisp eating kids and watching the voice!
