    Morning

    Well a much much better start to the day today!:D
    Cooked OH fajitas last night, with soured cream, jalapenos the lot, all washed down with 4 bottles of corona each whilst watching the footie!! even give him a shoulder massage after dinner:A so a lovely lovely evening was had and we are now best friends again.

    Dad had his op yesterday which was meant to take 5 hours and be "keyhole" yet bless him he was in theatre for 7 1/2 hours!!! I wanted to go down and be with mum throughout but she resolutely refused to let me so yesterday was waiting for phonecalls most of the day!! Going down to see them all this weekend though which should be really nice. :D

    So i feel that I am gradually ticking things off my "stress list" and paving the way to a very nice stress free new year!:j

    So loads of work to do again today but gradually getting back on top of it which is cool, Loads to do but i'm actually enjoying it for once!
    Yesterday was a NSD technically (but i guess i can't say that as we bought beers aswell as food) but was a low spend day anyhoo, and i made fantastic use of the tesco's money off vouchers they sent us a few weeks ago!:T hark at me trying to justify the purchase of beer!!:rotfl:

    Well my assesment day with mr mic martin has been postponed and should be rearranged for mid december, gives e a little longer to save up anyhoo!:D

    Right off to do some work. Have a good day all! xx

    Hiya squirrel sorry that I missed you sweetie, have you got the internet back in your flat yet? Payday tomorrow!!! WOOOOOO!!!!! you're doing well on your challenes by the look of your sig, good for you!!

    Yep things are rather smily at the mo aren't they! just the way I like it!!!

    Well I have 2 things to give meself a pania back pat for
    1) My printer cartridge ran out today and I had enough money left to buy a new one!! Something totally unheard of the day before payday in months gone by.
    2) I've got loooooooads of work done!! YAY!!! will prob still be here for another couple of hours but OH is out and I would rather start tomorrow with a clean slate.

    However
    1) I bought a can of red bull when i bought petrol today... (mind you I also had enough left for petrol! can't be bad!)
    2) I had my eyebrows waxed.... they had grown so much that i couldn't stand the thought of the pain that pulling them out hair by hair would cause!!! and I did get 4 free clarins samples, that I may put on ebay if they will go for a pound each!!

    So I am finishing off the month as such

    £4.94 left in spending account,
    £1.93 left (the grand total of!) left in my overpayment acc
    20p left out of the £120 overdraft on my bills account.....

    But.....

    £30 overpayment made towards training debt
    £10 overpayment made to halifax card
    £10 saved for canine training course
    £500 spent on car to get it in a servicable condition, taxed for 6 months and MOT'd for a year...

    AND I STILL HAVE MONEY LEFT THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!

    So I'm a happy P, lets see what tomorrow brings. xxx
