Ok
Will give it a go in the Summer holidays. no point in trying now no time. Fed up again. doing a walk tomorrow for charity so have to leave early.
got to clean out the guinea pigs.
You know what is really bothering me? Everyone tomorrow has children. They are taking them to the zoo afterwards.
Do you know what I would give to be doing that? to be dragging some poor kid round with me tomorrow (my child would be in a buggy!) and then on to the zoo? The vast majority of the time I am fine being childless but sometimes things just get to me for no good reason.
have to go tidy and stuff.

Have a good day tomorrow Buffy! Despite not having a screaming snotty nosed sprog in tow! If you'd been in our local Costa today it would've banished any broody thoughts from your mind - screaming kids, free range kids running about, so glad mine are grown up!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

If you want a hand with the PPI, I spend most of my working life doing battle with creditors and will happily help!
I think the easiest way to start is to write to companies you have (or have had in the last 6 years) cards or loans with. A quick letter asking them if you had PPI (and asking for a copy of the agreement/terms and conditions if you don't still have it) is less stressful than having to ring them all. I'm a coward on the phone though.I'm a Money and Debt Adviser for a homelessness and housing charity in Scotland.

Right so...................didn't exactly enjoy today!
I have done one of these fun run things every year since 2008. I normally do one on my own or with mates from here. So it is usually either 1. in October or 2. up north! they always have plenty of toilets and are really well organised!
I am NEVER EVER EVER doing one in June in the baking sun.
Honestly it was an hour and half on the tube, we walked for ages to find the start, it was so congested we stood for 45 minutes in the sun. The walk itself was fine, note WALK. It is a kids fun run, and we had two 7 year olds with us!
However it did feel like it was too many people for the place and there was a lot of waiting around.
Ended up completing the course in one hour 7 minutes. Which I wish I could blame on the kids but I can't. I am 42 pounds over weight and do not move anywhere near as much as I should.
Got the train home with some of the team I didn't know and kept it together till I got home. Where I promptly burst into tears and went to bed!!
Had a terrible headache. At one point it really frightened me. So yeah bit of an eye opener.
need to mark stuff for tomorrow. So will probably think on this more next weekend since this week is stupidly busy. ugh.
Debt wise, I paid the spends on my Amazon card(£30.41). been buying music and books again! If the Amazon website ever crashed I would save a lot of money!
right need to get on with marking

Thanks for the offer Snags XXX I think I have left it too late as I don't have PPI with Barclaycard (my current debt) and my Barclay loan was donkeys years ago.What a star you are Snaggs
Snaggs is rather marvellous wouldn't you agree BeanieXXX

Random thoughts of the day
1. Why does Katie Hopkins exist as in why is she on TV?
2. how do you define religious extremism? and isn't it all a tad convenient that it will most likely end up with Ofsted having more power.
3. I want a boyfriend
4. I want new clothes
5. I want to lose weight. (trying on clothes is a BIG eye opener)
6. Why do I like clutter?
7. I want chocolate.
8. who would actually want to work for Ofsted.......
went to work, managed the day, wasn't brilliant but being so ill yesterday not as bad as it could have been.
I had to spend - 12 pound in Morrisions, 2 on the fruit and veg stall, 3 pound in the pound shop.
oh and er 16 pounds in H and M. (two long tops for leggings)

A fine set of random thoughts there Buffy! Can you find solutions to any of them? Some of the points are out of your hands that's for sure but some of them can be sorted. You need another plan:)I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
