    HUGE hello to everyone! Don't panic! I am still 'ere! After I had a crappy few days, I got told that I needed to go on some training course for a bit in London, so I have been spending a few nights in a hotel, all on my own! I haven't been able to get to a PC for ages :( but have had time to do some thinking and I am more determined than ever to get this debt sorted asap! I will be back in a bit...have only just got home so need to sort out some tea! Hope everyone is well! xxx

    Thanks everyone! Yep I is back! :T
    What a crazy few days...I am soooo glad to be home again! I have just spent the evening with Emily, singing, dancing and slouching in front of the TV eating the burnt dinner I managed to cook the pair of us! What a mare! Was nice to spend some time with her and even nicer to hear her laugh and smile!
    My moods have been all over the shop for the last few weeks, really have. It is very hard to see the wood for the trees sometimes :( I think that that 5th failed test really put the top hat on it all...my goodness I am sooo sick of failing! Just got to chill and tell myself that one day I will pass and this will all be a distant memory! I think it doesn't help with it being soooo expensive and having to pay for lessons etc, but I don't see the point of giving up as will cost me more when I would choose to go back to it in the long run.
    I haven't heard anything from Martin's peeps which is a real shame. The last I heard was they were looking into it, but that was ages ago now. It is a real shame as this whole experience seems to have become something completely different to what i thought it was gonna be, but without it, I would never have met such lovely peeps such as you all to talk too. :A
    Anyway, no matter what, I can sort this debt malarky out! I am quite gutted as have not been able to do my monthly budget as have been so busy, so will be doing that tomorrow evening I think, gotta get it sorted asap! One little thing I have done is cancel my magazine subscription. Not much money really, but seems pointless as have sooo many running magazines now I think I can get all the info I could ever need and with having the net too, seems mad! Seriously need to sort this food bill out! Dunno why but my appetite has been getting way out of control recently and keep gorging :( Not good. Well at least my food has been paid for by work for most of the week and am hoping I can not spend more that a few quid on top ups on Wednesday and Thursday and then I would have some money left to out towards that darn Tesco card! Hoping next week Foodies should be quite cheap as Emily is off on holiday for Monday to Friday! Gonna be very odd without her but will be a nice break, for both of us! Gonna try and keep things low costwise over the weekend too as am back off to London to see the Foo Fighters! I got tickets last year and am very excited to go! Was concerned with the thought of train down there, hotel and meal out etc and then train home again (making it 2 single tickets) but have managed to get a coach ticket with the ticket company for £24 quid, which the boyf has paid for...bonus! Least that way we can come straight home. Am meant to be off biking on the Sunday if all goes well and I can leave Emily with the folks for a little longer, so have something nice to look forward to this week! Makes a change!
    Sorry, has been one major ramble tonight! I better get off to bed in a mo as have an early start tomorrow! Hope you are all ok and will be back here soon! Take care xxx
