    Morning everyone

    Thanks Candy for starting the thread. Good luck with the exam.
    Yayy, Pixie is back :j

    Last day of working away for me, so raided the hotel room of toiletries and tea/coffee/sugar before I left.

    Had a nice big cooked hotel breakfast, so I'll go shopping at Mr T's with my £5 lunch allowance and eat as little as possible so that I can take the rest home with me.

    Checked online banking. One minimum payment gone to a crtedit card that I was expecting, so no surprises.

    Dinner will be from the freezer, so hoping for a NSD (except what I can claim on expenses).

    Have a great day everyone.

  • pixie - I think 3 weeks is enough, just make sure every evening you do something - even half hour. That's what we did and you'll be surprised about how much you'll get done in that time x

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you are all well :j

    Candy - Wishing you all in the luck in the world for your exam

    So, its my birthday today, I should be happy but I am in a complete grump because I cant afford to do anything! Previous years I would go shopping in the day then a few cocktails in the evening with friends without a care in the world. This year I can't even afford to put petrol in my car to visit my Mum! Not even a card from my boyfriend this morning either because he is "going to give it to me later" which I think translates to "I havent brought one yet". Just fed up, fed up, fed up!! Annnnnnnnnd Breathe.....

    So, today, I will/have:

    - Breakfast from stores
    - Walk into work
    - Lunch from stores
    - Check bank
    - Being taken out for dinner tonight by Boyf so free food of some description - (Macdonalds I bet....)

    Thats my lot. Sorry for moaning, I am lucky to have support from family and friends but sometimes I feel this is the only place that anybody understands.

    Hope you all have a lovely day,

    PP xx

    Hi all, Candyyou nealy had me with the Henry story.

    Pink penguin, great, you're here, let the party begin!!
    _party__party_:dance::dance::bdaycake:
    Just had a stressful playground experience culminating in me telling off someone else's children. Their own parent obviously wasn't going to bother. Luckily, my very sensible daughter congratulated me, rather than hiding her head in shame. Ye gods, I never knew being a parent would be this hard!

    So today:

    :) checked bank accounts, sadly not enough in it to pad :(
    :) washing on line
    :) packed lunches (she said through gritted teeth!)
    :) reading forum to stay motivated.
    :) meant to make cake but too grumpy!

    Off babysitting tonight, well, it's a night out I suppose!!
