    totally agree bunny silly and dangerous i think that's what i was laughing about she must be aware of the dangers she looked like she was in her 30's (doing a bit of presuming here) so i would assume she has kids or knows kids (neices/nephews etc) and yet she didnt give that a thought ..i think i was shocked to see it happening i have heard so much about the lipstick and eyeliner but this was the first time seeing a female doing something as stupid as that (yes i have seen plenty femaile drivers driving eratically (and males))
    but on reflection while i was thinking about it it was very sad that this person couldnt even get 15 mins to herself to eat the most important meal of the day

    what reason/excuse does your mother give for doing these things?

    boss in job no1 told me how much my net wage is this month(wage slips dont always arrive intime) so

    £720 wage from this i will be paying
    £125 council tax (i pay £250 a month)
    £140 for two weeks money (diesel food work money etc)
    £100 visa
    now that leaves me £355 now i need a minimum of £360 for my ddms till the 15th so i am atleast £5 short and hubby will be having treatments so i need the money for that too but i will use the overdraft for this so this month it is going to be very very tight but i should make it ...
    next month will be hard though as hubby whilst he gets most of his wage doesnt get it all
  • Hey up El, my you have been thinking. Yes it is going to cost a lot, i was reckoning on tapping some charities for funding..don't know who yet, but got to be worth a go, also planing over 6weeks, as being in teaching would thought it fitted in well..but other than that still working my way through some blogs.
    My other thought was getting in touch with that nice Mr.ogle, i mean fogle...got to be worth a go. That will surely get a few on board!!

    ooo mr.fogle i'm up for a bit of that love watching him ...funnily enough i was thinking about the summer holidays as well was reading it can be done in that time and with you being a teacher thought that would be ideal ...great minds think alike
  • And we are after all great minds......
    I read it can be done in that time as well, can't remember when, but with the loverly carrot of mr.f in front of us, well what girl wouldn't scuttle?

    im good loving the new diary just saw it ...i think i am annoyed with myself for not insisting on getting an x-ray when i was at the hospital and believing that a nurse would know what was wrong with me as soon as the dr saw it he knew straight away when i saw the nurse i told her all the things i was feeling but she insisted it was ligament tendon damage and didnt want to x-ray but i spose it was probably too late by then anyway ...ohh well something i will need to live with and get on with but i aint letting it stop me from doing my W.H.W challenge or the other one
