    Heya Bob! Good to be back! :)
    Have not seen that...will have to take a look!
    How's you? Hope you are ok...and that DD of yours...is she speeding around in a little car yet? Bet she was pleased to pass and get it all out of the way?
    I should really get to bed...but am on the hunt for foodies! Gonna get back into the whole diet thing tomorrow. I have stuffed soooo much food recently as work have been paying and boredom kicks in too...especially when you are on your own at these things! Need to eat to stay awake..they are soooo boring! xxx

    Hello everyone! Hope we are all well tonight! Been rushing about tonight trying to find stuff for Emily's camping holiday next week...trying to find sleeping bag, clothes etc...what a mare! Can't believe she is off soon...Monday morning. Dunno what I am gonna do with myself...enjoy the peace methinks! Really excited about tomorrow as am off to see the Foo Fighters in concert, gonna be awesome!
    Been sorting out the money for the month, not as bad this month which is good! Wanna try and do really well to get some more paid off of that Tesco card. Paid £100 off it yesterday which I am pleased with. Hopefully London will be a cheap one and Sunday's mountain biking is free so that's all good. Finding the not drinking is helping my budget too which I am pleased with! Feeling quite positive at the moment which is nice...long may it continue!
    May be the chance of a bit of overtime in August which would be nice if I can get it, especially as will have a huge list of school uniform to fork out for! Can't believe Emily is off to secondary school soon, she is getting very grown up!
    Bit of a random ramble there but hey! Better get off to bed now as need to be up early tomorrow to get Emily off to my dads house and me off to London. Nighty night! xxx

  • Kids and money eh? Who said they get cheaper?

    Hope she has a good time on the trip...and i am so envious of you going to see the Foo Fighters, i am a big fan. Sniff.

    Well done on the debt repayment, every little helps.

    Kids always want and need stuff don't they....grrrrr! Older they get the worse it gets! I dunno how people manage with a couple of kids when I can't even manage with one!
    Will be nice for Emily, going on the trip. Will do her good to get away from here for the week!
    I got the Foo tickets last year, managed to come across a pre sale password when I was looking for a code for a pizza for tea...those were the days! So have been waiting ages for the gig. Is meant to be live on Radio one tomorrow I think...can't wait!
    I think I want some Ben and Jerrys before bed so must be strong and walk away! Take care xxx
