    I will be continuing on here as well as joining MFI3.

    I love the support we give to each other and also the wonderful things the Universe can help with.

    Yesterday we had a course to go on, things are quite tight at the moment and I had not left much money in the budget.
    I thought I would have to take £20 out of the childcare account but then I sold some padded envelopes (on the way to the course) for £20 so :T

    Yesterday I filled my car up and then found out when I got home that DH's truck needs diesel especially as mine is at the garage for 3 days for a re-spray and we will have to use his for work:eek: so with very little money I again thought about raiding the childcare account.
    Then I got a phone call this morning from a lady who wants to buy some of our turkey poults so that will be £35 coming our way very shortly :T
    This will be enough for diesel until the end of the week

    Thank you Universe and The Matrix for introducing me to it :T:j:T

    Could I ask for some positive matrix study vibes today please. I have a whole essay to write today as we've been so busy with wedding/family drama/financial stuff that today is my only chance to do the whole thing!

    Sorry I wasn't about much yesterday, I was making trips to the charity shop. I was also rather enjoying the male attention from the chap that works there - he even made me a mug of tea:D

    I took my jewellery to mum's today as we are worried about strangers coming into the flat and helping themselves - she got very sniffy about the large green box that my watch came in but that has to be kept as it contains the serial number and other documents for it. She would love me to sell it but I would get less than what I paid for it so it is staying on my wrist.

    I helped her with tying up some plants which had been flattened by the rain and she offered to plant up my pinks (I thought they were perennials but they are annuals) as she has two terracotta tubs (they are her best and most favourite tubs too so will have to be returned when the plants have died). She mentioned an offer she had seen in the radio times for 36 perennial plants for the cost of postage (£4.90) as the selection is good mum thinks I should get them for the house. I have been asked to look at a cooker and a fridge freezer and I have done that online.

    They are off to B&Q on Wednesday as they need paint and dad has seen a lawnmower - I contributed £40 in gift cards to use as they see fit. Wednesday is pensioners 10% off day:j

    Positive vibes being sent to those in need. Congrats to Gemmzie on being married.

    Re my glaucoma - I have been advised by the DVLA that I can drive without restriction, I did re-take my test but I must admit that I dislike driving in the dark and will do what I can to avoid doing so. I never look at glaucoma sites these days as I know that my glaucoma is under control.

    Getting there slowly but surely - 9/26 reports finished and the rest have some bits done already so they WILL get finished tonight although it may be quite late.

    More importantly all the dads I am related to were delighted with their pressies - photos of their children/grandchildren - and I have got a trillion points for being a good wife/daughter/daughter-in-law for organising it.

    Also been good on the eating basis - bacon wrap with side salad and ojuice for lunch and dh is cooking up sausages, o.chips and beans for tea while I carry on the reports. Have definitely lost weight as all my jeans need belts to stop them falling down:j

    Dora is still a bit of a misery bear but have always tended to be on the eeyore side of life so nowt new there then:rotfl:

    Oh I feel so guilty at this time of year as I never have more than 8 reports to do and this year only 6! I tend to keep quiet around colleagues as they battle away with their up to 30 to do! And then I think of all the carp I take all year keeping the mad frogs and their parents on the straight and narrow......and as the song goes 'then I dont feel so bad!':eek::eek:;)

    Seriously Dora hope you get them done soon and the back settles down:)
