Hi all, :wave:

Long time no update, have had nightmare 2 weeks.

* Managed to finish all my assignments and hand in portfolio, just waiting to see if I get any referrals or can graduate in July.

* Had no phone line for 2 weeks then broadband was disconnected, have just managed to get on using work computer but hubbie will need to sort out my computer to find out whats going on there. All passwords etc saved on that one :eek:

Anyway thats done, I'm just working through my last few candidates and marking then will be finished work at the end of June am really glad as getting tired now and back hurting.

R.e. mortgage - had a big falling out with dh about the mortgage payments, he said that he was not willing to pay £900 a month for a 3 bed semi and that it would be better to rent, I reminded him that most of the figure was for the loans attached to the mortgage and thats why I was bringing it down.

He's not happy but think he's bored in his job, worried about the baby and just life in general rather than it all being about the mortgage.

Have saved £32.75 towards the £1000 for next year, need to catch up on some surveys and will put some extra in hopefully this month.

Good to be back, fingers crossed we're not disconnected again!

hi evab

sorry things have been tough - i think it's the time of year or something because things are pretty carp here too! but well done for staying focused - and for getting your portfolio completed.

don't you feel like you've lost your right arm when you don't have internet? not that i'm addicted or anything:rolleyes:

hope things start to look up soon,

take care,

PO xx

Congrats on getting your work sorted. I remember the relief when I finished my last exams, just the nerves then waiting for the results. I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.

Enjoy your time off before the baby arrives and try to relax as much as possible as you know there'll be no chance for a while after he arrives. Have you got a TENS machine. I found it really helpful in the last few weeks, you can then use it during early labour, found it great for taking my mind off the contractions a bit and I think it did relieve the pain a bit as well. Ask your MW she should be able to tell you if your local hospital run any sessions and hire out the machines or not.

Hope you manage to stay connected.

I used a TENS machine last time but it made me feel sick, just going to see how it goes when the time comes!

Sent off redemption for £35 from mobile phone company so will add this when it arrives, one more redemption to go then I'm going to change to PAYG as I think I'll save a huge amount from my monthly bill.

dh hasn't mentioned mortgage for a couple of days, will keep quiet about it I think then show him the savings/overpayments in a few months hopefully he'll recognise the benefits again. Bless him he does get stressed out big softie!

All else is fine, 3 weeks until I finish work hooray or 12 days if you don't count fridays (meant to be admin day but hey) and weekends.

HI all, not much going on here - am off sick with a horrible cold, feel like my face is in a vice

Cheque from mobile phone company is in the post and still waiting for another cheque from survey. Slow going at present but should be able to put some more money aside in a few weeks time.

Can't wait to finish work, 2 weeks to go can't wait to get rid of one candidate in particular who is phoning every other day about a certificate that I've told her comes from some one else!!!!!:mad:

Right see you soon

Good morning,

lovely dd woke me up and I didn't realise what time it was! Feeling slightly better today but nose still running and sore.

Dh has got paid today so have transferred £35 over payment into ISA so a slow creep towards that £1000.

Off to Mr t's website in a mo, got a special offer to get 1000 points if you spend over £50 so will get dad birthday prezzie, sister in law prezzie and some rewriteable dvds that we needed anyway, then no more birthdays until September. I am saving all the clubcard vouchers to change into a holiday next year - so every little helps! So far I think we've got enough to get us to Manchester airport!:D
