ooh and forgot to say managed a £5 voucher from Mr M's which normally we put towards other shopping but have decided that I am saving them up for using during the summer when income drops due to student finance ending for the year.

Saving those vouchers is a great idea think I will take that on board but keep for Christmas
Not sure where we will shop when we move, may send them to daughter

What are you reading at uni
I did a combined degree of sociology and comparative study of religion then a pace loved every moment and made great friends

I have my housework lists on cards just add extras as needed and pop on fridge

But you have tackled loads today well done

Hi Choccybum, just popping in to say hello and wish you a Happy New Year :wave:

It sounds like you have your hands full in all areas of life so I'm really impressed you're keeping a diary as well. Good luck with everything. I'll be popping in again to see how you're doing

We used to save our vouchers for christmas before i went to uni and the income dropped, last couple of years have been tight in the hols and i've resorted to credit cards but hoping to stay away from that this year. its a catch 22 situation for us in the hols i can't look for a job over summer as DH works extra hours during hols and makes the bulk of his yearly salary then.

i'm doing a teaching degree, i have another year and a half to go, loving it but its very intense at times due to being in school on placement and then still having uni work and family life to deal with.

i am a great list writer don't always make it through the list but i feel better seeing some things being scored off the list and as long as i get the urgent things done then the rest will move to following days list.

I went to get my degree in my thirties Hubby worked every hour he could we juggled two kids one primary on secondary with the in school elements of the degree trying to work a couple of nights in the pub keep up with everything trying not to neglect the kids

honestly doing all that once you are qualified and in work it will all seem like a bad dream

what is your specialism and what age group are you heading for

chocolatebum

I'm doing primary teaching aaleigha.

well life is going crazy here, uni is full on and i am struggling for time to get on here and catch up. so i think it will be a monthly round up for me for the next few months.

debt payments and decluttering is still on track so that is the main thing.

Hey Choccybum, hope all is well with you and the family. As long as you're still fighting the fight that's the main thing. Have a great weekend. x
