    Still nothing from Ford :mad:. I'm at my mum's now, which is closer to the garage. I put another £5 in the car on the way down here, and it didn't even register!! I don't care if they complain about it being below the 72 miles it had in there when I took it - I'm not putting another penny in that car :naughty:

    I've just picked up a couple of MS jobs for the next couple of days. Not my favourite way of earning money, but needs must. It's £14.50 for the 2 jobs, plus I get a free snack from one of them.

    ETA - Make that 3 MS jobs over the next couple of days - £24.50 worth of fees.

    Niece's party went well and she loved her presents. Finally got my car back around 3.30pm. Flaming Ford - glad I won't have to put up with them for much longer.

    Off to bed - night :)

    Okay, think I must be mad. I've just said yes to a load of overtime next week. Means my schedule over the next week and a bit is:

    Thurs - 5-8
    Fri - Off
    Sat - 2-8
    Sun - 11-5
    Mon - 12-6
    Tues - 12-8
    Weds - Off
    Thurs - 12-8
    Fri - 10-4

    Means, with the bank holiday, I'll be earning an extra £120 for next week and £255 for the week in total.

    Something's got to give, so I've cancelled the MS jobs I was going to do. I don't particularly like doing them anyway, and working overtime is a lot more profitable.

    Received my Nelson's goody bag prize. Loads in it, much more than the competition stated. I'll try and take a picture of it all to post on here.

    Work went okay last night, but woke up around midnight and didn't feel right. Then started to cough up some blood - nasty. Not sure what caused it. The only thing I can think of is that I lifted some baskets at work and carried them over to the food part.

    Hoping that someone is coming to buy something I put on Gumtree for £25 this evening. Also made £2.15 on Geo Lotto this morning.

    I got £5.50 Clubcard vouchers yesterday, and we're thinking of changing £5 of them into £20 to put towards a meal out.

    Off to the cemetery later as it's my dad's 70th birthday today.
