    I do like them but they smoke A LOT of drugs and I think that might attract people? I am not sure tho, as their neighbour's car has been broken into 5 times and sometimes suspect people stand about on the street corners watching.

    In the end I had quite a good day, did get a bit tetchy with Mum, but it always happens as we readjust to her being in charge in the kitchen and me kissing goodbye my clutter free surfaces!

    However I did go to the Fish shop and buy fish which has made me ridiculously happy. I set up two more tanks (which collapsed from neglect whilst all hospital stuff went on, I moved them to one tank so most survived but it hasn't been great :( ) and have two species only tanks (only guppies and minnows) and am chuffed.

    Tomorrow is crappy work ;) but the conservatory is a nice place to sit now.

    Still need to look at my bank!
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I read that as going for fish and chips. And now that's what I want. :rotfl:

    You take too much on yourself Buffy. Listen to Beanie and take some tome out just for you. Sounds like the break in at the neighbours might be drug related - not good.

    Take care xx

    Everyone always thinks about fish and chips when I am talking about the Fish!!

    I finally checked my bank! I have 100 pounds till the end of the month....ha ha.

    Also I owed 270 on the CC - 126 on clothes, 56 pounds at Argos, 14.99 on a 5km. Argos was a strimmer and a planter (that is a welcome home gift for Mum). A previous argos for furniture (45) and petrol. Oh and a random 11.40 in Tescos.

    On the new day card I spent 350. Which is a hotel room for a wedding (180 90 owed) Mum's phone (40 owed) and Sainsburys since Mum left.

    I have paid it off with my Savings which depresses me. Mum will pay me back some of it.

    My spending money account....hmmm.

    Too tired to write any more.

    At least it is paid.

    Ooooooooooooooooooh Boy.

    Today was hard. I don't really know why. It was just one of those pointless struggling days when time stands still and you cannot get home quick enough.

    Kids weren't so good. my friend was kind tho and my boss was funny. Just felt like I couldn't breathe.

    Odd.

    any how off to bed in a bit, so tired.
