    cat that is so true last time i kept a diary i was like no i didnt spend 40p on a packet of chewing gum did i? it really does hone your spending...i'm off to aviemore on a girly break for a few days my friend is moving to houston for good and i think it's a last wee break for the girls..i'm excited about going but kinda anxious as well i have been with my hubby for over 20 years now and for the last 19 we have never spent a night away from each other except when i was in hospital having our son ...so this is gonna be nerve wracking....


    well ive just had a text from my work (job no2) saying there is a big meeting tonight at 5pm with the project manager and her boss so ....im wondering what it is about ...our funding ran out in march we have applied for more funding but wont find out till the end of may if we have it ..we have emergency funding coming from a different source but no-one knows for how long ...so maybe i am gonna get paid off from job no2 today who knows ...to be honest i have decided i dont want to work with two jobs anymore my health has/is suffering as a result but the money is good and i dont want to look a gift horse in the mouth this way the decision is made for me ...i would be able to survive if i got paid off it would be a struggle but i think i am the type of person that thrives with a challenge (maybe why i didnt see it as such a big thing when i became df the first time) ..anyway will let you know what happens
