    Today has been lovely. I spent a measly 2.55 on a coffee so I could sit in costa for 3 hours and catch up with an old school friend who I see every couple of months. She's got a lovely outlook on life and is always looking to make positive change.

    In terms of MS I've had the instagc radio on the background, and just opened up a bubblews account. Signed up to qmee and app trailers. So hopefully.

    I've used up all my listing allowance for this month on ebay so no more of that. Just got to wait till september to sell again.

    Bad news about the complaint aartisuk. I spent years in retail and grew to resent people and there greedy, moaning, money grabbing ways. It wasn't until I started to work with SEN students I got my faith back in humanity.

    I'm sure many more people are appreciative of the help you give them. Keep you chin up.

    Keeping my chin up. I promise :D

    Today it's been a fairly productive morning.
    Sorted out bedding for the new place. Decided I can mix and match old sheets in my bedroom in my parents and take my nice bedsheets for my new rental lodgings - was debating buying new sheets before hand so quite happy with my decision there, theyre in the laundry now becoming all sparkly.

    did some bubblews writing
    went to postoffice
    went to the bank to find out whats going on with my OD. Apparently I have until june 2015 to clear it, not december like I originally thought, but theyre going to start charging me until I reduce it to 1000 from next month. So come october all funds to overdraft. However, once I've got myself into a non chargable rate, going to focus on the laptop loan for a moment, and get that settled. Then move back to OD.

    This afternoon I'm studying and making a cottage pie for sis and I. Shes not here tonight and I'm not here tomorrow so it'll last us a fair few days at least.
    Have to go to southampton tomorrow for an identity check for the new job. I can't believe the move is so close. 1 week away. Eek!

    wooop 3.45 made in gum tree sales :) cashed out my paypal and dropped it straight into the overdraft account. I know its not much, but its something. The weather is horrific right now and i'm being a lovely procroastinator. Someone make me revise !

    Had a lovely email this morning telling me I'm getting my deposit back :) 330 into my bank account sometime soon. that can go straight into overdraft.

    I'm heading to southampton in a little while for an HR meeting prior to starting the new job. I'm excited. It's going to be good. I can feel it :)

    Hope your all having a lovely day

    330 into the overdraft bank account pulling me up to -993 :) SO happy with that, as it means I'm out of the red with the bank

    Also sold my last big ticket item on ebay so made 62 of that once fees etc come through. Gotta loveeeee ebay sometimes. Will post that out today.
    Today I'm meeting a friend for lunch and doing a bit of a clothes shop for work. Hopefully I find some bargins

    woop. happy day today indeed
    I needed some more work bits - a bag big enough to carry lunch in, and little bits like strappy tops to go underneath shirts, so i decided I'd use my ebay money go to and get it. Didn't spend it all because I found a beautiful shirt in zara which would have put me over my budget. Couldn't find anything else I wanted which left me within budget, so I didn't get the shirt and came away 20 pounds under budget.

    I've got a fairly expensive weekend before I move so that helps out massively.
    The boyfriends coming home next monday which im super excited about to as I miss him dreadfully. How is everyone elses DFW going on?
