is that good elantan or did you expect more?

Just calculated my mpg for the week as 50.9... good but I think I could do better. must stick to 60!

elantan

50.9 is not to bad skint well done ...but you will see a difference if you stick to 60 a bit more ...but hey 50.9 good going ....

well its good in the sense that i didnt think i would get anything so i aint complaining and right now we need the money i have had to pay for this car with money i dont have so will probably accept it

I've been trying but life gets in the way - had to give someone a lift yesterday and then ended up in a huge rush to get DS from childcare before it closed. will try to be more organised next week although in my defence I would have been a complete cow if I'd refused to help yesterday.

Bonus money then!:beer: Hope hubby is happy about it too (if he knows yet)!;)

a-ha spice good idea bat man ...i mayjust decide to spend it on penny sweeties and say well if you can have lager i can have sweeties lol ...na i couldnt do that har har would be great though wouldnt it

skint i managed a whole 56.1mpg today wow that was good going have bought my friends sons wedding present and my friends journal for taking to nicaragua with her got it all for the pricely sum of £27.95 now i was planning on spending £40 on the wedding present alone and another £50-£75 on friend but she wouldnt hear of it and was extremely grateful for the journal i bought for her so all in all although a dear day not as dear as it couldve been

yesterdays spend well that was the final £180 for the car ...only thing is some of the parts ordered were missing so now i need to wait till monday before they arrive till i get the job finished ...but were closer to the finish line lol

ah be fair elantan - that was my mpg over the entire week! good going though if you were in town though and still managed that. the obsession with 60 is starting to get to me...found myself doing 60 at the 50 bit with the cameras today - whoops.
I hope the car gets finished soon it seems to have been draining funds from you for ages now.

elantan

well i managed to hit the heady heights of 57.3 mpg today mainly downhill though ...but i did also purchase some diesel so todays spends £20 now i got it for £1.20.9 per litre which is even cheaper than last time so not bad ..

skint see if you get penalty points for speeding you can say it's elantan's fault it might hold up in court you never know

well i was night shift last night then had to go back to work today at 4pm till what was meant to be 9pm but landed up being 10pm and the place was falling apart so i landed up having to put on my team leader hat and deal with it all ...i was hoping to have got some studying in for tomorrow for this interview but that didnt happen (so i am going to do it now) and get fed as i hadnt eaten since 3pm on saturday (was too tired to eat last night on the night shift) but that didnt happen either but i have been fed now i ate so much i think my belly is distended (i was really really hungry)

anyway sorry i aint getting a chance to catch up on happenings will do as soon as i can probably tuesday as we have the soup kitchen tomorrow then i am night shift (all week infact oh the joys)

oh and just to keep the run of good luck happening my bath has a leak ..atleast it is something new for a change

hypno06

elantan

You'll be fine El - university admissions are at least as interested in motivation and enthusiasm as in what you know - if not more so (used to be an admissions tutor for postgrad). After all - it is their job to teach you stuff so what you know already is less important - but your attitude and willingness to put the effort in is vital! You have bags of that - if there is stuff you don't remember just be up front about it and say it's been a while but you are looking forward to getting back up to speed with it.....

Deep breaths - it will be fine!
