  • hi ben Ben
    you seem to be getting quicker at doing the AQA stuff :D How much have you made this week? At least it is something you can do at home whilst you are with ds:D
    tomorrow I am going to put some of my hampers together, and if i can get to grips with the camera will post on the xmas board:eek:
    did you get around to making your toffee vodka?
    very quiet here tonight DD got herself a little job in a local restaurant, i get peace and quiet and she gets extra spends - win win situation:D

    Hi Soph, I am up to £38.10 now on AQA .... I should be at £60 (£5 a day) ideally, but then I haven't been doing it all month ;) ... I'm really happy whatever I earn though, its soooo convienient for me and my lifestyle at the moment so I'm chuffed ;):D
    I did make the toffee vodka but the thread on the screwtop lid went so I couldn't put the bottle in the dishwasher so I have to keep shaking it instead :rolleyes: :D ... it smells nie so far though ;)
    Tomorrow ds and I are doing our Christmas shoeboxes ... both our schools are doing them for the same place, so we will decorate the boxes and fill them tomorrow :A
    It has been really quiet here again tonight hasn't it?? i have been popping in in between answering quetions but the threads don't seem to be moving much :o I'm off to bed now ... I have been sleeping on the floor for the last couple of nights so I am looking forward to having my bed back :D

    I'm thinking about changing my mortgage overpayment target for this year from £2400 (£200 p/m) to £3000 instead .... will need to look at the figures again tomorrow to see if its likely to happen :rolleyes: :D

    Whoo hoo well done for being able to even CONSIDER increasing your target. ! I really admire your commitment and determination. Don't put yourself under too much pressure though, you are doing so well and we have, sshh whisper it, Christmas coming up. Have a great weekend. XX

  • Hi BB

    I used to love doing the shoeboxes with the kids when they were little, it really made them think about how lucky they were, and we had great fun looking for the little bits and pieces to put in. They even used to put some of their own stuff in sometimes. I'm doing two this year but for teenagers - they always seem short of those.
    good luck with the overpayment - sure you could manage that extra £500 - you will just have to spend from now til xmas attached to your pc and AQA:rotfl: seriously though go for it, you will have already beaten your original aim so you can't lose.:T :T
    have a good weekend with ds.

  • I'm trying hard not to ask why you've been sleeping on the floor these past two nights so I won't! ;)




















    But why have you, if its not too personal a question? :rolleyes:
