OOO new blogger dashboard!  I'll play around.

Update - poor, and two weeks till W day. ( That's wedding day btw! I am practising my '' you must be very proud smile'' I am awaiting a large car bill.

I have an interview for podiatry degree.

Did I mention I was successful on the PGCE interview????  Went well and I have a place.

Hmmm not sure what to do. I really cannot afford to move this year and commit to a course and either one year or three years of student poverty! Well not afford to run a car as well and pay off my debts.

The small debts are currently standing at about 700 not including the Biggles car loan.

My meagre savings are practically nil! I am also concerned as

PGCE will cost me 15k in debt for 9 months - loan, tuition fee etc
Podiatry will mean 3yrs of not paying a pension and no savings but no debt

I also need to save 5k for a house deposit. County Durham has some very cheap houses in not terrible areas though not my current town's standards lol It being voted one of the best places to live in UK a while ago!

Ho hum I will decide at a later date. I can move in quick smart time If I have to.  Give me six weeks and I can have it sorted.

Work is going well.  Yoof are great. I still do not have a bedroom carpet. I shall wait for freecycle,

The small girl is growing and is fabulous.

We have had several adventures courtesy of the Biggles since my last update

London - weekend before Easter when we had lovely lovely weather
Scotland - Easter with my sister and a night in a cheap hotel in Fort William sans small one who was well taken care of by the auntie
Sheffield  - visit to mother Biggles.

Small girl visits the Sperm Donor this weekend. We will see how well the hand over goes. I may keep her if she cries.  She was devastated saying goobye to Biggles on Sunday when we left Sheffield. Proper tears and howling. He was really upset as well.

Parent teacher meeting !  All grand .  Teacher feels she does marvellously well considering she  spends most of her day in day care! I suppose this is comforting.  Coming along nicely. I go to look after her learning journal. On reading small one had got her teacher to write  I love mummy and Biggles very very much on a picture she had drawn. ( She doesn't call him Biggles but his real name)


Horrible Histories: I love this!!!! Will be much like the wedding I go to in a fortnight . Yes there will be uniforms and a sword arch. Biggles in number  fives or whatever they are so at least I will have eye candy!

  1. Hi, I'm a regular visitor to your blog -
    just my two pennorth - I think you have more than enough on your plate at the moment without considering moving, if your current place is cheap and convenient just stay there until you've completed your courses, and hopefully paid off some debt.
    Hope the wedding goes well.
    Why not put a 'wanted' on freecycle for some carpet ? instead of waiting for an 'offer' ? I do very well with freecycle, both offering and wanting !

  2. Hi Wean unfortunately I am either 55 or 67 miles north of either study option and it woudl be impractical with my parenting responsibilities not to mention the costs in petrol adn wear and tear on the car.

    It would really necessitate a move. I can always come back as Biggles has a house here. Should be easy for Biggles as well if I am close to either A1 or East coast railway.
