    I've not had the best day today all round. I witnessed an accident earlier and had to wait with someone for the ambulance to arrive, this meant that I missed my coursework deadline and will have to hand in on Monday instead with a 10% penalty.

    I've bought myself some sweet treats to cheer myself up so there's another £3.20 in change for the old pot :)

    Can't you claim for exceptional circumstances so they'll defer the penalty?? Sounds like a serious accident so the police would have been involved I assume? Which means you'll have proof that you were there. Worth asking as it's not exactly your fault.

    Sorry about your job e2rub, hope its just a stumbling stone that leads to better things for you (A blessing in disguise type thing)

    Ugh, today and yesterday was just cac! DH decided to return to THAT game! :mad: and used his credit card to buy some imaginary carp (that he was going to tell me about . . honest he was . . . :mad:) and the bloomin site was hacked so the credit card company blocked his card! just when I needed it to buy DD's xbox for her birthday! ok I had my own card but that was not the point, my card was for the car only, his was for day to day spends . grrrr! So now we have to wait 10 days for a new card and pin.

    Went to town to return a top to next I bought online and didnt like and they'd bloomin shut! yet still list the shop on their returns form, so had to go out again today in the other direction to the one by tesc0 :mad:

    Then go to pick up DD from school and everyone and their dog decided that they would park illegally on the single yellow line outside the school so I couldnt get close enough to park :mad: :mad: there is only me and one other parent who park there and have blue badges, other parent parks behind me as she stays in the car and her friend/relative goes into the school whereas I have to go in myself. They are currently building a brand new school on site so there is no onsite parking either and Miss Lily is now in the furthest away classroom as well. I emailed the local police station when I got home as I dont see why lazy, selfish *insert rude word here* with no thought to others should make my life so much harder just so they dont have to walk their lazy a*s bodies a bit further, what makes it worse is the legal parking is only 10 mtrs behind where I park! which may as well be 10 miles to me but is hardly a hardship to those that are able bodied!

    Anyway, no pennies for my pot as im too pee'd off to go get my purse :(
