    Well done Moneyspider! :j:

    23p to add from someones till spit at Sainburys and a NSD yesterday.

    Ive been feeling really down for a few months now and I've come to the conclusion Ive got SAD. Im like this every winter, get into a rut, pile on weight, shut off from the world and start to come round once the sun comes out....like today. Been out and about all day. Its a bit like hibernation I suppose. Think I might get myself a SAD lamp, I always feel better when the sun is shining.

    On another note, I took my son to his swimming lessons for the first time(the grandparents used to do it until I took charge :D ) and I must say he's really good. He's 8 but swimming at a 12yr old level! He was doing perfect butterfly stroke, I cant even do that! Im going to research a bit but I might push him into competing, I spoke to him and he's really excited so I'll look into it...watch this space! :D

    That's amazing Moneyspider! :j Well done! :beer:

    Thanks SFG :) It was quite a while ago now, so think the time to get anything done about it has probably passed :(. It's something I would normally do, but I think that I had that much going on at the time that I just couldn't be bothered, lol.

    Quick question - I'm trying to get my essay done on Word 2010 (think it's a trial if that means anything), and it keeps changing my language settings to 'English US' - every few minutes it keeps automatically 'correcting' my words and replacing almost every S with a bloomin' Z! :mad: Everytime it does it I change it back to 'English UK', but it doesn't seem to stay that way. I've also changed the settings to have English UK as a default, but it still switches back - any ideas?

    If you go into library and they say fine is still on there you could complain about it then and explain it is stopping you using the service!

    Re the Word settings - might be your computer settings - have you set them for UK ok? alternatively you might like to use the free software downloads for word - its very good! Will get the linky for you in a mo :)

    Congrats, MoneySpider!!!! Hugs for you, nat21luv xx. (and to anyone else that needs a hug)

    Been a busy week this week, but I have been reading most updates on here when I can. Well done on all achievements. Hugs for any challenges anyone's faced this week. Hope next week blooms for all of us. xx.

    Earnings update: not much gone on this week in that department. But my dad did give me £20, which was lovely of him. Wasn't expecting it. Also got £2.50 from Fiverr for blog commenting.

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, everyone :)

    I AM BRAVE. I JUST DON'T KNOW IT....YET. :)
