Never fear both of you I think its a glitch! Someone said last night it could be teh smilie codes hence not using them. MSE towers will no doubt get it fixed soon.
Beanie out of interest what one did you get? Sounds a bit to technical lol.
Thanks SS, life is to short doing things that fit in with what you 'should' do. I have only ever wanted to see three things in life the Louve, the twin towers (now not possible) and the giants causeway. I have also wanted to vist Jursey/Gurnsey. I am now thinking about maybe doing one of those things before I enter uni and learn French.
Lovely day out with Mum today. I did purchase a pub lunch for both of us but I think it was well deserved.0 -

That would be the colour I would choose Beanie.
Mega Update!!
Decorate my room
Get a laptop
MOT
So my MOT is booked for the 22nd. I didn't quite reach the £450 I wanted to save. However if my calculations are correct with the money I have saved and the money next week from France (as I believe work will screw me over on the pay, but I won't go into detail's) I should have £680. Really and truely I don't want to spend more than £300 getting its through its MOT, so fingers crossed it does that. Then anything left will go towards my CC.
It will then take me approx 6 weeks to clear my CC *woo hoo* I am to have saved and purchased my laptop on/before 1st Nov. When I decorate my room in September I will be moving my computer to its new home so my room will fill bigger.
Start GCSE and NVQ3
I will phone the college in the morning to find out about the GCSE and I am waiting for my NVQ2 to come back complete.
Holiday with Mum!
Still going but want to save up and pay it outright. I am hoping to do this alongside paying off my CC. The holiday is in Oct so it will be a push but I am determind to get there. I will not go on holiday while in debt!
Walk!
Got my replacement fitbit last week and its fab, much better than the old. Need to start racking up those steps.
Do 'something' with Mum every fournight
Still doing this, we did some gromiting and lunch in a pub today. Will prob do something next sunday, maybe the cinema?
Smile everyday
Live a little/Spend some money!
Always and spending more on myself. Not frittering but sensible choices, ie better food, toiletries (better quality) etc etc. I do need to start posting my spends on here again though.
Phew, congrats if you got through that0 -
Glad you're getting some balance PAP. Keep it up.
