    Hi everyone,

    It sounds like everyone is having a good MS day.

    Sorry for those of you that are feeling ill, hope you are better soon :grouphug:. Have some hugs.

    Today I have:

    Walked to town instead of driving and paying to park
    Bought a few salad bits for tea to go with barbecue leftovers (still going from Sat! Getting sick of it now).

    Tried on clothes with DD but refused to buy any:A
    (She hates me now)
    Caved in and lent her £2.25 to buy mascara (but she has promised to pay me back)
    Other than that, spent day in garden with friend putting the world to rights. Most enjoyable. (and cheap!!):money:


    Tess xx
    Total debt at May 08 - £28,934.53 :eek:
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Really confused now! Just redone my snowball, double checked amounts twice, and its still saying my total debt is £8770 when its £8944 according my spreadsheet (took the figures from spreadsheet too) :confused: Its also decided my debt free date is now oct 09.

    EDIT Oh grr stupid glitchy site, its randomly blanked 1 item and added it as zero, nothing but problems on that site lately.

    Now its saying I will be debt free in 600 months :rotfl:

    Evening all - what a lovely night it is too.

    Today I....

    checked online banking - still skint
    used rice and chicken to make different dinner for kids
    did some ironing to keep the load low
    hung 4 loads out on line - still out now
    bought flowers that were on offer for my nana cos it's her birthday today - 86 years young :) She has alzheimers and although it is such a rubbish disease, it was lovely to see her face light up every time someone told her it was her birthday. It was as though she was just realising when someone gave her a card

    Hope everyone else is having a nice day too.

    ps - how many people do OU on here...?!?!?!

    Good luck with D218 exam:T It was my favourite course of all my OU courses and the one I got my highest grade for. From what I remember there are no surprises in the exam....the questions are basically a rephrasing of TMA questions or just asking about a particular aspect of what the TMA covered. Best to know 3 subject areas really well than try to revise whole course. I'm sure you will do fine:T :j :beer:
