    Am very curious what the work involves? An extra joblet on the side might be a good idea TC thinks?

    Hope you have a good weekend :D

    Happy Monday everyone!!!

    I feel ready for the week! Really motivated and feeling like it is going to be a productive week!

    I've not done the next stage of the application yet as I wanted to print off the guideline file to refer to, to make sure I give myself every opportunity.

    We've had a lovely weekend and I felt like I had one this week! Lots of time with the horses, family and friends - a night out, a meal out, a naughty take away (DH paid), some mucker boots for DS for £5 and riding boots for DD for £8.

    The pony has had his rug ripped tho, not too badly and it's just as well he had it on as whatever did it (bite I think) has taken a chunk out of his top layer of skin too, just behing saddle area. I'll patch the rug tonight with duct tape to make it waterproof again. He's fine.

    Money wise, it's ticking over nicely. I'm about to pay the money CCV that I finally got for the rug and I need to check paypal.

    I have myself a ncie little list started to keep track of what I've got to do, done and to refer back to.

    Lovely busy week ahead. :T

  • CCV payment done and accounts checked. I had to pay £2 for a sandwich today which I am not impressed with. I forgot my lunch!! Darn it! Never mind.

    A 4 day week for me, DH is treating us to a day out together on Friday :D

    I found another top at the weekend which can go to ebay - simply won't ever fit my horse riders shoulders!

  • Good Morning diary landers!

    Another day is upon us and it's been crazily busy already. I've not started my real work yet however I have been on a first aid course for CPR only and it was fantastic. It was given through work and I'm really impressed.

    I put £50 of fuel in this morning and going to work out when that will last me to. Ald1 tomorrow night, no spends today hopefully. I do need to get my livery money sorted though so will concentrate on that. Busy day ahead and I'm going to attempt stage 4 of the application tonight so wish me luck :)

    Tea is chicken with something :D

    Thanks Caz. Well I did loads of practice tests then left myself short of time! Silly, but I saved and quit the application so I'm going to go home at lunch time and catch up. I didn't realise you had that option.

    Fingers crossed I get something from them.

    Also I've found on my bank's website a link to claiming PPI so I've filled it in for something I was unsuccessful with before. You never know! They aim to get back to you and complete the case in 8 weeks so that would be a nice bonus (anything!) for Xmas to pay a big chunk back to debt.

    Work is really busy still. I have a few tasks to tick off today so will crack on with that.

    I'm not jumping tonight as a friend is in need so she is coming over after we get kids and I don't want to rush off to jumping.

    PPI Party Pooper Debt-free and Proud!
    Hiya DF

    Good to hear you are still so positive - keep it up girl x

    Good luck with the part time job too. Looking forward to hearing if you pass the next stage.

    I am having a little break from competing - but hoping to do some showjumping over the winter.

    Morning diary land :)

    Well last night was crazy, friend came over and we talked. She's having a hard time. I went to yard and fab friend had done them for me so I only had to feed. Didn't have time to ride etc. Went to Ald1, got essentials and only came to £10 then home to work. I had a right carry on with Stage 4 as I stupidly pressed back space when I wasn't on the text area of the form, meaning that Internet Explorer took that as a request to go back a page meaning I lost everything I'd done that session. Really P'd me off as I always save, save, save when working on laptop but this threw me being an internet form.

    Anway - I chose to restart the test which I hope doesn't go against me. I wouldn't have had time to finish it based on losing almost everything :( Watch this space. Will get it submitted tonight and hoping to hear back within 1 week. I really need to start getting some extra pennies coming in so I can keep up the overpayments so I am keeping everything crossed that they take me on.
