  • Morning,

    DH has an interview on Monday :j I told him last night that I am worried about him and why. He did his usual....Don't worry, worse comes to the worse, I'll get another job.....At least I have told him :)

    Brought my lunch with me today.

    I have discovered a new survey app called Curious Cat and you can cash out as soon as you get to 100 points (£1) directly into your PayPal account and even if you get screened out, you still get a point :D

  • Morning diary,

    So idiot man-child has ended up with an after school detention today for eating in class on Monday...he originally ended up with a break 1 detention, 20 mins (didn't attend) which then ended up with a lunchtime detention, 30 mins (again didn't attend), if he'd attended the first one, he wouldn't have ended up with an hour one today **rolls eyes**

    Sorted out with DD's guide leader what I owe for what, everything is up to date, just one to settle for August and then the big one next year to do.

    No news on whether DS has got a place on the Cadet camp yet though.

    Because of my mix up with the LC, I have made the extra payment today, which brings the total down to £8800. My aim for the month is to recoup that money back. So far I am up to £31.78, just need to find £68.22.

    I won't make that mistake again this month, I will wait until the statement comes out first.

    I have done some calculations and we are at £13,905.51 :D

    15 working days to pay day...wish it would hurry up!

    Brought my lunch with me today.

    Need to nip to the shop at lunchtime to get some bits, but shouldn't be too much.

    Back later x

    Good luck to DH!

    Hope DS learns his lesson, that sometimes it's better just to get the consequences over and done with!

  • Afternoon diary,

    Not a lot to report.

    My mum is on her way down, so she should be here about 6ish.

    I have got snacks and goodies for my trek tomorrow and for DS on Sunday. I put a small plea out last night for sponsorship as although I won't hit my target I was very close to £600 and I wanted to hit that instead, I got to that target and woke up this morning to some more sponsorship too :j

    I need to fill in DS's form so he can go to the airshow on Sunday.

    I need to find my dad's signet ring so I can wear that tomorrow.
  • Good luck with your walk tomorrow Purplemum, I'm glad you picked up some more sponsors :).
