Sunny turned to soggy but have had a nice day any way:D

Bought some salad stuff and mushrooms in reduced bit in b&q so will be self sufficient in no time! Bring me some chickens...

good luck with the gardening, I am in the frozen north east in scotland and manage salad leaves and rocket, courgettes, broad beans and peas. Also grow tatties in big planters. Love when they grow and i can eat for free :T

Slugs and snails hate salt - it's a bit cruel, but I have no mercy left for then when see the damage they do!

Ebay gardening book arrived today so have been having a read:D

Tax credits done, prescription picked up for DS and lots of washing out tis amazing what I can achieve when I'm avoiding an essay:o last one too so need to get cracking and look forward to freedom for the summer:D

Essay halfway done now, met friends for lunch yesterday and avoided DS when out:D (big gala day and I was the last person he wanted to see). Have worked out money for July when I have no money from bursary and it's not looking good, have applied for a temp job but need to find some more but not much about. There is money in the bank to cover but I'd just rather I didn't have to eat into it, I do appreciate how well off I am though.
So from mid June and for July I shall be money making, scrimping and saving like mad:D Still the sun is shining and there's lots to do for free in the sunshine...

good luck with your saving and scrimping and hope the work pans out.

What sort of temp job is it? Are there others you could go for if you don't get this one?

skint_spice

It was an admin job Lois - I'm not fussy will be applying for anything! Upside if I don't get anything though is that I will actually have time to sort my flat out so trying not to worry too much:D

Lois_E

Well, do let us know how you get on - with finding a job and with sorting the flat!!

Last piece of work in so just waiting for that to be marked now...

Had a lovely walk in the sun with a friend yesterday and was asleep on the sofa by about half ten:o in my defence I went for a swim before college too.

So money matters... have received rather humungous payment today from the TC folk - think it's wrong but I'm not allowed to call to discuss til 12th July I think so will put it away for now as I have full expectations of it being taken off me again later. DS needs some new summer clothes, what is it with this child and growing?:eek::eek: Apart from that I've been very well behaved and using up food for now rather than buying more.

Have been up to uni this week for a look round and it's all fab so quite excited and looking forward to it now must sort out funding next week:(

Fingers crossed the amount is correct and you get to keep it!

Hope you don't need to wait much longer for your results.
