Hi Pixie.

I am glad you are getting all your credits sorted. You will be studying again in no time.....I was about to go to bed but I might have a sneaky peek at the OU site again while it is in my head.

I will keep my fingers crossed that you can find a suitable house to get you back to the village you like.

We had to move away from our village for a year and I hated it. Like you I was 5 miles away but I still didn't like it!

Thank you OF, I hope we can move back there soon:o It's only about 2miles away, takes me 5m to drive there when no traffic about.but still, it's not the same, I don't feel we belong here;)

Go for it with the OU, I can't wait to get started again. I must spend some time organising revision and getting my maths brain going again - though helping dd1 with her gcse revision has been a start!

Lovely day here today so I have washing on the line:T

I need to go food shopping today - just done next weeks meal plan and I don't need to buy too much, that's brilliant as I haven't spent much so far so might have money left over in the grocery account this week:D

Otherwise a quiet weekend - tidying up, getting ironing done, girls getting homework done etc.

Off to put another load of washing out:D

Hi Pixie, a quick question for you - have you ever been to the Xmas market in your town and do you recommend it? I went to ours last year and wasn't overly impressed! My oldest wants to go to Hawkins Bazaar which I think is still open in your town - ours unfortunately has closed, so it would be a good thing to combine the two.
Thanks, dangers

Glad you've sorted work

Well, had a lovely quiet weekend - the only spend was on a takeaway for dd2 and I...shhhhh;)
Grocery spends didn't go as we'll as planned...oops, £69:o:o Goodness knows how...But I still have £17 in the account which I won't need...will just want bread this week, so that's a first to have money left over, I usually borrow from another account;)

Dinner tonight is going to be hm meatballs and tomato sauce, so better crack I with that. Girls are out at gym, will pick up at half 6.

I posted a pile of eBay and amazon sales today - have just transferred £74 from eBay and £24 from amazon. Postage was about £17, so a bit of extra cash for my savings account there. I have nothing on eBay right now so need to get a few bits listed, photos are all ready so shouldn't take long.

My boots from as0s arrived today - really pleased with them, reduced to £40(from £60 I think), then to £32 with the code. Also 2 pairs of jeans for dd1 as she only has 2 pairs of decent ones - they were £21 which is fab. I'm keeping a pair for Xmas though.

Right, off to make some meatballs:rotfl:

Thanks for the pm Pixie, have replied.

Whoooops, I have been awol;)

Still around and still attempting a mse-type life...hard with 2 teens with expensive tastes but we're doing ok:)

I've just ordered dd2 a new mobile for Xmas, £20 a month contract which is £10 more than I pay now - but she's having an iPhone as right now her ipod and blackberry are useless. The iPod died completely and bb is on its way out, it's kn@ckered, and 2 yrs old anyway. Ex is going to pay some of the contract so I'm happy with it. She'll be over e moon as she thinks she's having my phone when my contract is up in Jan as her pressie, she was happy to wait. So it'll be a gd surprise. Then when my contract up, I will jus go to a monthly sim only contract at about £12 a month. Well actually be better off - instead of £35 currently for mine and £10 for dds, it'll be £20 £10 paid by ex) for hers and £12 for mine:T

eBay sales have tailed off a bit - running out of stuff to sell:rotfl: I have a few things on there right now, nothing that'll make much but it'll all help with Xmas.

I had a letter about tax credits changing last week - new weekly award, they paid in some on Monday, not my usual day, but I assumed that was my weekly payment just on the wrong day - no, I still got my regular Thursday money, so that was a bonus. It went into savings...hopefully it wasn't a mistake:D

Ok, off to tidy up.

Glad you're OK. Hope the bad weather is easing off where you are.

Great news on the phone contract - your dd will be so happy with that.

I really must get more stuff on ebay...I just CBA at the moment
