    Plus, a benefit of getting lots of toys for a birthday is that you can ebay them when he has grown out of them!!!

    Hi all

    Well the passport arrived this morning :D Talk about cutting it fine. I am in a huge stress about money and the holiday etc. I have less money than I thought and given that petrol alone will cost close to £200 we reckon, I'm having to swap some more money out of savings. I will replenish this out of my first full time pay packet, but this means that that money is now used which gets me a down a little. I know I'll have a lovely time on hol, but the money is concerning me and we'll try to be as MSE as possible, but sometimes, it's not easy as you all know!

    I will have to do lots of washing as well as I haven't got many summer clothes so will have to be washing quite a lot! lol

    The nightmares about school have returned again - worrying as I've not done the scheme of work I was meant to do - have left it for when I get back off holiday which I think now is very foolish. Debating taking it on hol, but when will I really do it? I guess an hour here and there will help? WHY didn't I do it before. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    V stressed, so need to go do something I think!

    Hi Sea
    Don't take the work on holiday, it will only stress you out more and spoil the holiday.

    What is the work you have to do, is it anything we can help you with. Ie what is the subject. We might have sources of knowledge that you can use.
    We are all here to help, and the range of jobs/knowledge people have is enormous! Right I have GOT to go and get my essay finished. Was so :mad: :mad: last night. Had nearly finished it and the programme has a fit, and loses half of it! So off to redo it.
    chev
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Oh sea, poor you. I agree with chev, don't take work on holiday, you won't do it anyway and it will just stress you out sitting there in your luggage.

    Don't worry about the money - it's a cheap holiday all considering, just do your best to relax and enjoy it and worry about the money when you're back at work (with those lovely full time pay cheques).
