    Well the sun is shining :j :j so we may go down the beach again today, havn't got any jobs to do today, well nothing that can't wait lol
    Last night I was talking to my new online friend again ... seems nice but am not sure its gonna go anywhere :o He's not around today so am gonna make an effort to switch off the computer and get out !!!;)
    I've got £98 left for the rest of the month, I get paid next friday so has to lsat one week which shouldn't be a problem as I don't need any more petrol this month, cupboards are relatively full and ds will be at his dads this weekend, although I am going out on saturday night for a girly night so may spend a bit then :o
    Ideally would like to be able to save £20 or so of that money too.
    I've done a couple of surveys this morning and done my piggyclicks so have earned a few pennies already today ;) Still waiting for the last ebay payment to clear then I need to post that one off too.

    Thanks Spud ... when the sun is out it its beautiful and even when it isn't its still much better than where we were before :D I have settled really quickly and am soooo happy here, I wish I'd done it sooner but it took a couple of years from ex leaving for me to be strong enough to pack up and move :o but now I've done it I'm so happy :D I've only got a week left to enjoy it before I start my new job (TA) but at least with the hours I'll be doing I will have time to go to the beach after work with ds if the weather is good ;)

    I've only ever done retail before so not too sure how I'm gonna find it tbh, but as a single parent it is ideal in terms of hours and holidays even if the pay is rubbish :eek: Luckily my mortgage is half of what it was near London now so I can get by on the money (just!) but the time it will give me with ds is priceless ;)

    I'm pretty new to the job too, but I LOVE it.

    I've been there just over a year, but if you need any help or advice, just ask - I'm starting a TA course next month.

    Are you going to be working in your DS's school?

    Hopefully if something comes up at the little school I'd be in a better position to apply, but for now its the big'uns :D :eek:
    Also thinking as its a bigger school there is more chance of meeting a cute teacher there ;)

    I like your thinking re the male teacher :T

    My daughter starts high school soon, and her teacher (male) looks about 18 - I think I'm getting old :rotfl:
