    Is it spam? I thought it was just wafflings.... couldn't see that it was promoting anything...but to be honest I don't really get it so it could be! I'll trust you gnb and report!

    Thanks for all the kind words re my finances. It's wonderful not to feel alone. When I first found out yesterday on the phone to the bank that everything was over the od limit, she did ask why and I told her about the tribunal and the stoppage of salary for 4 months. They've upped my credit limit and given a fee free £250 on the joint account where the mortgage and c tax goes out from so that's a bit of a buffer - but doesn't feel great to know you're going into more debt, so bitter sweet really.
    I have thought about posting my soa but - and here's a clue - I don't actually know much of it really even though I'm allegedly in charge of finances in this house :o:o:o

    Re the baby scan - am I alone in not being able to make them out??? Absolutely no offence meant to yoursil, pigpen!! My own 3 were a mystery to me! How people can see appendages I'll never know since I find it hard to tell the head from the body. Taking toodler to a playgroup later. I decided to put more time into the sprogs and face up to the fact that that's my job right now, and I can't earn money like I'd like to.

    Thanks again all:grouphug:(group hug, not 3some!!!)

    Well maybe not spam, he's been up on the elec&gas board spouting the same nonsense constantly. He obviously has some issue with scottish power.

    Does this list come from flylady site or just from members here?

    ooh, Mudbath, meant to ask, is the bit in your sig about money coming easily a nod to the law of attraction, or a positive affirmation? Would love to know. Toddler is emptying out all kintchen drawers so better go and call a halt to this madness! Bye for now!

    Happy birthday to your DD Sinderella.

    Washing, washing, washing and still loads more to do. Finally got the slide built and now the kids are killing eachother over it (don't know why i bother).

    Cuppa got so time for more flying.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    lil_me I remember how annoying it is for children to have different holidays. When I was teaching mine had different start and end dates and staff training days. It was a nightmare, and we were all in the same county too. I think pyramid schools usually make agrements between them but if one of your children is in a different pyramid it all goes haywire.

    Happy Birthday to sinderella's daughter!!

    I haven't had access to a working PC all week but am back on board and am still flying. I am now in a different room, soon (probably months) to be my study/fitness room!
