    Well not a lot really going on around here money wise.

    The usual work and uni with the added fun of having coursework to hand in this week and the internet going down meaning the laptop ended up going with me. Oh well it was submitted on time which is the main thing.

    I didn't go to cadets on Friday as I fell asleep! I felt so bad :( I went to sit on my bed and read as my legs were so tired from being on my feet all day and the next thing I knew it was 2330!! oops.

    Well I'm on my second to last night now at work (not that I'm counting) so I best go and so some work.

    Have a fab weekend all.

    Happy TD-ing littlefred.....it still makes my life having cosy clothes and very little ironing (actually read that as NO ironing:D) to do.

    Enjoy your Sunday - it's lovely and bright today....if a tad cold, however spring is most definitely just around the corner:j

    I'm so annoyed with myself. I booked my hotel for uni on the wrong day so I've just found another one :mad:

    Well it's been a while since I've posted as its all been crazy busy and all I've managed to do is keep up with reading some diaries. I started my new job last week and after 2 days of boring induction and uni I finally started. Things aren't too different as some of the equipment and IT are the same and the majority of people seem nice.

    Cadets have been busy as we've had a competition that I help train them for and they won so it's the next round at the weekend but I'm not going as it's my uncles 80th birthday.

    Money wise has not been great. My payday is now 5 days later so I'm having the eek my money out a bit longer and also I'm waiting for my invoice from my previous employer for my masters and then have to give it to the new one and hope they pay it quickly so I don't end up with bayliffs at my door :eek:
    Seeing as the 2 employers are merging at the end of the year I was hoping that this wouldn't happen!!

    The end is in sight for uni now as well. Only 4 more weeks of lectures, one presentation, 2 exams and my project to go. Not that I'm counting or anything!

    I never point out spelling mistakes as I make so many myself :o. However, it should be eke out - but :eek: eek :eek:out is so much more appropriate :rotfl:.

    Glad all well with new job and uni - grit your teeth, nearly there :T

    Sorry GG I'll remember that for next time!

    Well I'm absolutely shattered and will be grateful when I don't have to travel to the otherside of the country for uni!!

    I'm must go out and get my uncles 80th birthday present at lunchtime (local glass shop that is closed by the time I finish work), go shopping, make a cake for comic relief, do some uni work for a group presentation and then find some time to sleep!
