    Don't forget that those credit card cheques are like drawing cash from your card and carry a high(er) interest rate, ie not 0% or lob rate...

    I'm with you on the being annoyed about tea, especially as you weren't going to be eating. In fact I don't think I would have made anything! But then I'm a bad Satchmo at the moment having just email ranted to my sister about my selfish sister-in-law. Sister took irritation away in one-liner reply, bless!

    Glad you enjoyed your socialising.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Tahnks Satchmo, didn't know that was the case. Going to have to put thinking caps on, ruddy banks. Weather is a bit calmer today so just taken hound for a walk with DS1. Had lots of what if conversations, whose house would he live in, who's farm he would buy etc which we can laugh about. Got some washing in the machine to go on the airer, chicken out the freezer for tomorrows tea. Ds2 is back tomorrow afternoon, the week went fast, though Friday I thought the clock was going backwards.

    Moved some more debt onto the 'spare' balance of the 0% card and made min payments to the others. Just been totting up how much money we've to come in business wise and its just over 1k, that will give us a bit of breathing space. Have been sorting spark plugs out for ebay and need to check we are in the right price range. Very labourious but needs doing.

    Feel like selling something myself at the mo. Down in the dumps as OH is there badly ATM. I agree we should sell up and maybe build or move closer to the village and now he wants to upsticks all of us and move to what he calls heaven otherwise known as cornwall, tearing my hair out as two teenagers and a 9 yr old to think of. I only ever wanted a quiet life.:eek: Perhaps we could sell a husband or two :rotfl:
