  • Hi Igamogam

    Thanks for popping in. Foodically speaking is definitely the new way to go!

    Have been making lots of Oatie flapjack again, I've just restocked with L!d! Oats. Need to buy more butter and golden syrup soon. I haven't worked out the cost yet, but it's delicious and nutritious, and I'm sure must be good value.

    Have been for another run tonight and planning a swim soon.

    The house is feeling a bit fresher after doing some long overdue jobs. A few more jobs to do then we'll be on top of it all.

    Need to look into my course options as something more work related and cheaper has come up - need to go and see a nearby colleague.

    Work is worky, confidence is growing. Had some doubts, but do you know I was so relaxed tonight and I haven't felt like that in a long time. Got to be good.

    Financially speaking a little tight (summer squeeze) but feeling very positive about it all.

    Thanks for your support. :)

  • Hiya

    I am reading and appreciating everyone's post and glad to read your thread show well you are doing. I'm having a bit of a too much to do grumpy crisis and I may be coming down with something so finding it hard to post at the mo. May have a posting holiday, so good wishes all and hopefully my fug will go soon. Have a great weekend all. X

  • Thank you Giblet. Am feeling loads better thank you. :)

    Been looking up degree courses and been accepted in principle for a top up degree programme in Business. Have submitted my application so hopefully will be confirmed soon.

    Am going to send off the student finance stuff tomorrow. Unfortunately my passport has expired so I have to send off my birth certificate.

    Just a quick pop by. Hope everyone is alright.

    Will be back again soon. Xx
