    hi all,

    finally gotten over hangover (from thursday night)! was out for my friends 30th last night and didn't spend a penny more than what i had budgeted for so very pleased with myself and drank sensible (as we're now constantly reminded to do) so doubly pleased with myself. had a brilliant night, laughed lots and lots but completely lost my voice!! i sound like i should be in the Vic in Eastenders!!!

    BF out for the night so I watched The Break-Up. Is it me or is it a really sad film?? I cried throughout!! Obviously got issues.

    PP - when do you find out about your exams?? i hope you do really well so you can get your box set ... a well deserved "budgeted for" treat methinks!!

    Anyway, i'm off to window shop online at all the clothes that i won't be buying ... really don't know why i do it to myself!! Good night xx

    Morning all.

    I shouldn't spend anything today.

    I don't need anything from the shops & don't intend on going anywhere. The kids want to go to the beach. But I hate sand (lol!) so shall persuade them to go to the local park. Plus its hardly a beach at Southend, its the edge of the Thames!!!!

    Woke up with a stonking headache. Wouldn't mind if alcohol had been involved. Have taken 2 neurofen plus & had my breakfast so its now clearing.

    Have a good day all

    I take the exams next month :eek: then find out the results in august. I get a payrise if I pass too!

    Well done for sticking to your budget on your night out, those are usually the hardest for me. I don't drink often, but when I do, I DRINK :o I'm the worst kind of drinker!

    Good Morning all

    Hope you feel better soon Mrs MH...

    Work for me today, but shorter day than normal so dont mind too much. Shouldn't spend a penny today, gonna have a very hearty breakfast before I leave...

    We should hopefully be getting a fridge for our staff room very soon too so that will definitely help with my lunches... not for a little while yet though so need to organise myself better till then :)

    I might even just leave my purse behind today so I defo dont spend anything I shouldnt!

    welcome pania!

    fantastic weather in my part of the country today (not too far from where pania is travelling too so you'll have a lovely day with your family). what about everyone else?
