    Full of busy here, today is my Friday though, I'm off to the theatre tomorrow to see Avenue Q and then I'm off Monday too.

    Had some great news on Tuesday that OHs Mam has been given a full clear from her cancer (she was diagnosed Jan 18th (my birthday) 2011 with bowel cancer) after a rough year of treatment including being massively overdosed with chemo. So when I see her tomorrow I'm going to give her the biggest hug ever :D Never been so happy.

    That is fantastic news Fallen, so pleased for you and your family xxx

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Must say I'm looking forward to the weekend now, it's been a long old week. Busy in the extreme at work, with all the faffy paperwork rich tasks having to be done and the real work I'm meant to do not getting done at all.

    Ah well, there's always next week! But tonight it'll be time for a little treat I think.
    DFW - DEBT FREEEEEE!

    Total - 10762/10762 :)

    Every silver lining has its cloud.

    Just woke up and was convinced the heating was on, I always forget how hideous the summer is in London. I need some sea breeze!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Friday xx

    Well done everyone on your payments:T

    feeling glum again - I've decided Fridays don't like me :(

    Not only have I gained 4lbs this week (:eek:4lbs!!!!!!:eek:) but I sat on my make-up this morning and had to change my white trousers, good thing DH noticed before we went to work!:p

    Yesterday evening, we went clothes shopping and spent far too much and ended up using the CC AGAIN! SO next month, I'll just end up playing catch-up with it. Roll on July when my loan is paid off and I can really concentrate on the CC at last.

    Have a good day everyone xxx

    ps fallen -fab news about OH's mum :)
