    Found myself a NVQ level 2 course for free, it's not the most relevant qualification but I might do it as it's business related. I might do this as a break between level 3 and 4 of AAT. It's awfully expensive if we're going to lose our jobs.

    I haven't done much cleaning this weekend, I messed up my meds and my stomach is killing me. I am studying though :)

    I was bad with money this week, must try harder. :eek:

    Bwah ha hahahaa boxersweeties <3

    I like business studies type things. :) I did it at college to A-Level and really loved it apart from the teacher.

    Be good. :p

    As for the meds... ouch. I read about a woman whose dogs ate her when she accidentally overdosed her pain medication over a prolonged period and one tablet was the straw that broke the camels back as such. I have had a re-read of all my packets and stuff. So many pills...

    I don't know if you have time (or inclination) lilt, but here is the list of free courses linky I was the opposite to you, I loved the teacher but didn't enjoy the subject that much, just happened to be good at it.

    I undertake, then I get issues from the side effects from the ones I'm taking. WHoops.

    Boyfriend has got me spending money, he wants us to go on bike rides (which is very sweet, it's one of his favourite things and he wants to share it with me) but my bike needs new tyres and a chain :( Boooo

    No good news on the job hunt yet, but I'll keep you posted!

    Crappy news on the job front KP :(

    Bright side though, your aat should be opening doors if it comes to it.

    I really need to sort out my wardrobe - you're putting me to shame! My excuse is I have college at the weekends.

    You also have a brand new lovely house to arrange :)

    So it is payday! First day of my raise. Woooooot. All extra money will be going into savings, until mum's job keels over. Then it will go to the house.

    I have had a rubbish week health wise, I was struggling to get my meds approved (doc has gone on paternity leave) so I had to stop taking the adjoining ones as well. Didn't half hurt. Slowly feeling better now.

    I found a flat I want, it's so square. I want it. I can't have it but I'll get there. My mum was 29 when they got their house so, I still have time to beat her :cool:

    Slowly working through parts of the garage, it needs sorting but is a nightmare, you can barely get in.Been doing like 30 minutes here and there.

    My bike is built :D Just need a helmet now!

    Now is time to start cleaning..

    Hi Peaty

    Just quickly catching up as I've been away for a bit.

    Sorry to hear that you and your mum have job problems, not good.

    Thank you for the linky, I've just enquired about one and looked through to enquire about another one that I would have to pay for :D

    Much love xxx

    Oh let me know how you get on kd, I would love to know if you think it is any good.

    Very short, haven't been great, wish I could catch up on the threads like I want to.

    Great news that I had to share though, I have saved £974.11 this month!

    Thanks Lilt, I'm very pleased.

    Don't tell anyone at my work... but I have an interview tomorrow for a trainee accountant role. :D So excited! I desperately want this role, I think my current work is just dragging me into being very unhappy. Just all of the time.

    Despite this, I have been productive at work and I'm confident that I will leave a mark when I eventually leave! So nervous! Ahhhhhhh hh hh hhhhhh.

    AM annoyed, I have a stain! A STAIN! Boo.

    Did you see the meerkat movies cheat?

    Need to think of a nice present for my mum, any suggestions? Maybe a dayout with her brothers or with us.

    I did see the cheat, but small baby plus absent OH for most of the week = no cinema for Liltster.

    A stain where?!?!

    YAY for the interview!!! That is AMAZING news!!! :D You will whizz it!!! Whats the pay like. I have heard trainees are really taken advantage of until qualified!!!

    Hmm... you know you mum, would she prefer a day out or something to wear, jewellery? You can get so much amazing stuff on etsee.. Like my sisters fave song is Mr Brightside and there is a place on there that actually writes the lyrics out on a giant a3 sheet and you can have it framed and things. And now this sounds not as good as it was when I found it... :rotfl:

    But anyway etsee is the way to go. mega cool stuffs! xx
