OU & 6 weeks 'til Crimbo

I've got some funding from the OU!!! They've given me £481 this year, so my first course of £360 is covered. So pleased. I've sent off my signed registration documents, so I just have to wait until February now. Feels ages away now, I wish I'd done it for October start. I have £121 left which will have to be used on courses that start before September 2010, but it's doubtful that I'll be able to register for anything, as the next course I want to do starts in Feb or Oct, and I know that I won't have the time to study 2 courses at the same time, not to begin with anyway. So it looks like that funding will disappear, which is a real shame. I hope that the application for next year's funding is a bit simpler now that they already have my personal details.

Only 6 weeks to go until xmas week! I've already got our turkey, in the freezer waiting for it's debut on our table. Yes, I do like to get organised ahead of time, I'm a little sad like that!

7 weeks until Crimbo

Where has this year gone? It's quite scary actually.

Only 7 weeks to go now, I've got one of Marena's presents so far. I have a weekend booked off work in a few weeks for Marena's birthday, which is on the Saturday, and I may ask the in-laws if they can have her for a couple of hours on the Sunday so that we can get the rest of them. That's the problem with working opposite days, you find it difficult to do things that need to be done.

I've got a feeling that I'll end up using my bonus at the end of this month for Mark's pressies as I haven't been able to put any extra aside recently. Bloody bills, they seem to be creeping up!
