    Hi El!! I am fine thanks, how are you? Working hard as usual I expect!?

    Today I am ploughing through some work at home, but I have booked in a last minute client later this afternoon, so that will be a bit of bonus income.

    Lucy, you have loads of time.......I won't be getting to the library today :o

    I doubt I will be either! Between hunting for pork mince and a birthday card for OH's god daughter and then cooking... I might get round to it tomorrow! It could be months before I do anything with the book mind!

    Goodness, El, you must be exhausted!! Are you going to go to bed now, or are you going to try and stay awake until "normal" bed time (if there is such a thing!)?

    I don't know how you do it!

    yeah i'm staying awake if i slept just now i would be up all night...coffee and chocolate are the answer ...not good for the waistline though lol...i think it comes down to not having a choice really like we were talking about through the week on karmas thread if you have to do something somehow you manage

    Dig in deep girl x

    I am getting a bit frustrated....the site I am using for work keeps gong down and I am therefore stop/start all day!

    On the good news front, though, having pigged out massively recently on all the wrong food, I thought I had put on at least a stone and a half, probably 2. So, finally got a battery for the scales and I have put on half a stone!! How come my clothes don't fit me then!

    so good news, in that I don't have to diet madly, but bad news in that my clothes are still too tight, and I will therefore have to do some exercise instead!!

    Evening Hypno and all...you've been busy as usual but I'm seriously worried about you getting burnout..that goes for elantan as well...
    The sooner you start that job the better as It'll keep you in one place at atime IYSWIM..so hope that CRB comes soon...
    Did you have to pay the chunk off today?...and do you have a plan of how to get the rest by christmas...I can't believe they expect people to have that amount of money in such a short space of time ..it must be near on impossible for 99 % of the parents...but you'll do it!!!...take care xx

    No, its not impossible for 99% of the parents - debt issues are not a concern for most of them. The majority are mortgage free, etc etc etc. I am not saying that it is the same for all, but certainly a lot of them. I know of one other family in the same situation as we are, and they stopped racing because of it.

    I arranged payment for the latest chunk today. Goodness only knows what I will do for the next lot.......apart from to keep on going!!

    Just remembered, car tax due today :eek: better get over to DVLA site.....this money spending lark is never ending isn't it?
