    Rejigging of budgets again, don't think I'll have to pay as much spending money for DS's trip as I thought, his dad has given me most of it but might need to go clothes shopping - he's growing like a weed:D

    Studying today and yet more washing, where is it all coming from? Luckily no snow here but looking a bit miserable...maybe another cuppa before braving a run...

    So sleepy :( tons of college work to do but got to drop DS off in a bit so might as well go swim while I'm out, I shall use the time to mentally essay plan...

    Have been very good at not spending this week which is just as well considering my plans for DS clothes shopping at the weekend...

    Surveys coming along nicely but not much else happening financially, maybe I should take up beer drinking seeing it's gone down a bit?

    For your sake I hope your right :) mr el and I tend to wear ours around the pool or in the sea mainly ( although I have wore my slippers to work before so I spose my crocs would be a slight improvement )

    I gotta admit it... OH and I both love our crocs. Especially when camping or walking on the beach. I hate the look of em but they're so comfy and practical. Would draw the line at wearing them for work though :)

    And as for the s*x comment... :eek: lol

    Thanks Beanie, just need to sit on the sofa and I fall asleep though :o, it's that use it or lose it thing!

    Moneywise - things going ok but need to get to the end of this week to find out where I am exactly, also I'm with the H*fax for mortgage so no online mortgage at the minute and other people have been saying their account details have changed so don't want to over pay until I'm sure it's going to the right place.

    Bit of strange day today, need to go and have a wee bit of a ponder.

    I'm with Hal1fax too & have had a letter with my new account/roll number. I'm going to wait until the mortgage is back online before I do any OPs though.

    Hope everything is ok.

    I saw other folks had had that letter PP but not had it yet, hopefully it'll only be a month or two.

    Things ok just a bit of a strange day for DS at school, all calm now but not sure what the outcome will be, sorry to be vague. DS not in the wrong and school supportive.
