Just picked up a mystey shop for tomorrow that will give me €10 for doing it and €5 reimbusement for having to buy stuff. It will be pretty easy to do and I should be able to do it before I go and pick ds up from after-school club

Aw poor DS getting stung, I hate wasps/bees as have a fear of being stung. Glad to hear he was a brave boy.

Fab news re mystery shops and AQA.... I'm not clever enough to do AQA, some of the test questions are far too hard!!

ps- wish I lived closer to the beach, would love to nip down after work x

I've done the mystery shop tonight which was a nice easy one I didn't get the ones for the weekend though so will need to look for some more. Today I have spent €5.99 as part of the mystery shop but will get €5 of it refunded
My new bank card arrived today so hopefully I can get back to some sort of normality with the money situation. Just off to do ds bath, back later !!

I have submitted my mystery shop report and I have also managed to book two more local ones for the start of half-term week which will bring in an extra €10 and €10 of products

I'm feeling very strange tonight; tomorrow is going to be a very odd day ... my best mate is going in for her brain surgery and by tomorrow night we should know whether they are able to remove it Also tomorrow night is my blind date :eek: :eek: I'm a bit nervous, mainly about what the hell do you find to talk about with a complete stranger for several hours in a pub?? :eek: It was okay when cutie guy came round as I have been chatting to him for months and knew him if that makes sense, whereas I literally know nothing about this one

tomorrow is going to be a very odd day ... my best mate is going in for her brain surgery and by tomorrow night we should know whether they are able to remove it

Oops ... just re-read what I posted, obviously I meant by tomorrow night we should know if they can remove the tumour ... not her brain

Hope tomorrow goes well on both counts and don't worry about the date - I'm sure you'll find something to talk about.

Hope all goes well with your friend's surgery, my cousin's best friend went in for surgery a month or so ago, so I can understand how you'll be feeling, she was on tenderhooks all day.

Hope the date goes well, hope you enjoy it and make a friend if nothing else xxx

Morning all .. well, update time as I didn't get on here yesterday ....

The good news .....

• The date went well, he was a lovely guy, we chtted for ages, think I'm seeing him again He's been badly hurt too so we both know where we're at so even if anything does develop it will be slow ...
• I had a phonecall from landlords solicitor to say I overpaid my maintenance last year (was all built in to the moving costs) by €60 so instead of owing €211 (which I was going to pay today) for this years its now only €150 :j so thats an extra €60 heading towards the mortgage pot :j :j

The not so good news ....

• Friends surgery wasn't as good as hoped; the tumour has attached itself to a vein so they could only remove part of it Not too sure what this means, am waiting to hear more, possibly she'll have to have the radiotherapy now

Ds has gone out for the day with his dad today so I am going to have a fairly lazy day, he's due back at 5 so I need to do some food shopping and drop a few things off at a friends house but thats about all
