    Hiya Ruby,

    Nice to see you, missed ya last night. I don't really know much about the happenings of the tesco thing but agree its a bit of a pain and is a nuisance.

    Other than that are you ok?

    It certainly is Ruby! The Tesco thing is a pre authorisation of your card, but someone has put a monetry amount in and taken it. It should have been pre-authorised for the full value of your order and then processed when you took delivery!

    Hope everyone is ok!

    Id have a moan hun but I'd start crying and would take me ages to stop so am keeping with the happy and hyper person that most of you know me as.

    I'd love to bake but can't have gluten and the gluten free bread I made could have been used to tie to some ones ankles and dropped in the canal, wouldnt have taken long for them to sink. Actually where are those welcome finance people I'd like to show them my bread lol.

    Didn't miss much it was quite quiet last night. Millie dropped her bottle of wine and is still slicing the pie!!!! Kel was telling millie to use a straw but the dog beat her to it, the dog drunk the wine i mean not that it told millie to get a straw, a talking dog would just be barking mad, pardon the pun.

    Anyway lol

    Thanks Tony, it is annoying and I am just worried that in some weeks it could make us overdrawn. Now that we are living in the new world of no overdraft limit.... anyway enough of me....

    How are you?

    Ha ha.... thanks for your kind words of support and for making me laugh with the update from last night.

    Welcome finance, tesco and abbey today are the people I would like to tie your gluten free bread to and show them the edge of the canal... then hope a HUGE gust of wind would come along and ACCIDENTLY blow them in..... tee hee.

  • Hi Tony
    Are you nervous about Tuesday? I will be sending you virtual best wishes.

    You do a lot of work away from work at the moment, will that change with your new job?
