    Another NSD yesterday and today too as I'm not going out apart from the hospital it's too cold and I have loads to do in the house. I think I might bake a few cakes today and freeze them and get into a routine.

    DD's room needs a good sort out as she isn't the tidiest person in the world and has loads of stuff from the holiday lying all over the floor.

    I am also going to start a box of stuff to sell on ebay so anything worth anything that we don't want any more will go in there and I will get it sold. The house just feels cluttered at the moment and it's driving me mad, I know where it comes from the fact I wasn't allowed new stuff when my dad lived with us so now I hoard a habit I must break!!

    Right better get ready got to take my friends DD to the hospital then get back and blitz.

    Another NSD today I'm doing really well, I have to go food shopping tomorrow as I will have run out of bread, milk and fresh fruit. Shouldn't be too expensive though.

    I have spring cleaned all upstairs with help from DD and it looks so much better now. I really need to get my arris into gear and get stuff on ebay next week as I have loads of things to sell now and the box won't hold any more.

    I have an exciting day planned Friday as I have finally met someone (been single for far too long) and we are going for a drink Friday night, well I say a drink but neither of us drink alcohol so it'll be coffee :rotfl: we get on really well and he makes me laugh. I'm really looking forward to it but really nervous too I'm hoping we don't sit in silence :)

    Well off to have a well earned cup of tea think I need it after the busy day I've had

    well done on the overtime - that's a nice boost so early in year! Your date on Friday sound good too - it seems like a really positive start to 2015!!! Long may it continue

    The overtime is three sometimes four times a year not a lot when you spread it out over the year but still a welcome bonus

    I'm trying to find something to wear for Friday now, I haven't been on a date for six years :eek:

    Spent £40.13 in Morrison's because my kitchen bin split and my slower cooker finally conked out so replaced them today. £24.49 in petrol which should last me over the weekend for work.

    I have finally decided what to wear on Friday not easy when I haven't bought any clothes for a while. Going to have a relax day tomorrow as my overtimes done now so I can finally relax.

    Forgot to say got a cheque from DVLA for £32.04 as compensation long story short I have been classed as a man for 10 years on my driving licence and when I tried to renew it they rejected my application and it nearly cost me not having a car on holiday. It took me ages to sort out and I ended putting an official complaint in luckily it came two days before my holiday and I was saved. I didn't realise it was under as a man as male licences apparently don't have a prefix on but females do. My main concern was I have been driving for 10 years without a valid licence officially although this would have been quashed in court apparently if I had an accident.

    When it's cashed it will go into my SPC pot.

    Oh dear. My last renewal they made a mistake and added my maiden name as a second forename. I've never bothered getting it sorted. Maybe I should.

    I would send it for renewal a lot earlier than needed it took 12 weeks for mine to be sorted out, when I queried why it hadn't been picked up earlier considering I kept ringing to find out what was going on one woman said well we can't tell over the phone what sex you are :eek: this is when I put an official complaint in I really thought I had a female voice :rotfl: I was fuming by her attitude

    OMG date night tonight had butterflies all day since I woke up I am looking forward to it too. We have been talking on the phone all week and he makes me laugh a lot. He's not normally someone I would go out with I had a type but maybe I should break that type and find someone that makes me happy as ex current bad boys often aren't worth my time.

    Right off to get ready it takes for ever to curl my hair lol
