Getting towards the end of this studying lark but it's hard going... Not much more to do though then I can sort out flat and garden:D
I do not need posh wellies! So tempted by some on ebay. I DO need new wellies but don't need to spend that much (spell check keeps changing the word there:o, no I don't need posh willies!).
DS turning into proper teenager and is still in bed, I did take him in a hot chocolate a while back but hoped it might hurry him out of bed...
Had a fun evening playing on the wii with a friend last night (becoming obsessed by dancing game) - feel like a teenager again! and don't even have alcohol as an excuse as we were both completely sober, a free evening's entertainment...
Bit of batch cooking planned for today and a dvd with DS later, it's pouring today so might see him for a while, have been informed forecast is better for tomorrow so no chance!

More results at college this week, only a couple more things to finish and I'm done:j:j
Money is vanishing rapidly, but hopefully the summer will be warm and I won't have to spend much (yes I am a hopeless optimist):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
DS has just asked me to oversee his packing (going away for long weekend), what are the chances there is a load of aftershave, hair gel and no undies there?:eek::eek:
Food spending shall be minimal this week and hopefully the money making shall start soon, back up to £31 on on!poll:DMortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well done on ploughing through the college work- not long now!
I keep waiting for summer so I don't feel the need to eat so much food. Cold weather makes me want to fill up on carbs- not good for the purse or the thighs....Jan 2013-£140,231.65

I'm just the same fothers, hot weather makes me much less hungry. I've been on the sofa with a throw over me this week!
Must get up as I've got to drop DS off to catch a ferry then I'm taking a friend to visit my fave local castle - it's sunny here if not warm so that's a blessing:DMortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I stuck the heating on today to dry washing as I was freezing. I thought I might as well get the benefit of the heat rather than using the tumble drier.
Just got drenched- off now to eat some home made scones to cheer myself up. It will be a long time at this rate before I need to worry about peeling of layers of clothing anyway so will worry about healthy eating then!Jan 2013-£140,231.65
