    So pleased that everything is going well for you MIT. You deserve all the success and spoiling by your lovely friends and family. You have been working sooo hard you must be exhausted. But as you say worth it.
    How is the dress? Have a lovely time on Saturday.

  • Thanks guys. Verbatim the dress fastens but is too uncomfortable to wear. I will try it on Wednesday night and if I don't feel comfortable in it then I will go into Glasgow with my friend on Thursday night and get another one. My goal was to get into the dress(which I have done) so I'm not letting myself get upset over it. I am hoping I don't need to as I feel it would be a waste of money as I doubt I'll ever wear it again but YOLO :rotfl:

    I have been off work for 4 days and I have not stopped. I am shattered. My whole body aches but my legs especially. I am however happy that I have managed everything that I set out to do. Also this weekend has been very fruitful with what visitors have left in the houses when they have left. Loads of cans of coke etc today along with ciders and crabbies. That'll do nicely for a wee drink before we leave for the party on Saturday. I have 2 bottles of fizz as well so we will be fine and dandy. I also got 3 dozen eggs in the houses so they will be used for the cupcakes I am making and also some egg sandwiches. I am trying to save some cash :rotfl:Unfortunately I'm in overdraft already but again I'm not going to worry too much as this week will be an expensive one and I am happy that I have managed to pay nearly everything without going into a pile of debt.

    I will not be paid for majority of work until I invoice at end of month. I can't wait to see what kind of difference that will make to my DFD xx

  • PLMBL it was fab. We all had such a good time. I spent way too much. I had far too much food. But DD had the best time ever so all is well.

    As I said, far too much spent. My overdraft is back up at £600 so unfortunately any earnings this month will have to be used for that. No maintenance in yet so if I get any from that that'll help.

    I am totally ravenous today so I reckon some toast and sausage is in order. House is a riot as loads of folks were here before party and the aftermath is a tad messy. Groan!!
