    5. Type letter of complaint to broadband supplier.
    And thats all folks!

    I have also been to Focus (with Mum 10% off) and bought paint for DS room
    Got out DD's guide uniform, removed nametapes and offered it on Freecycle

    Still got some to do

    But phoned exH re CSA arrears to be told he has paid them to CSA in full so the new bathroom suite with replacement shower looks like a possibility - when it comes. I'm not holding my breath but it was the most civilized conversation (no swearing) for about 3 and a half years so that was good - I normally have to psych myself up to phone him. Phew!

    Evening all - finally managed to catch up with the thread.

    Mudbath - glad osteopee ain't the cause
    Kazw - your Mum's grave sounds like a lovely place to be. I'm glad things went well for you
    SSL - happy birthday for yesterday!
    Dusty - I 'lost' my son from when he was about 16 to when he was about 19. The monster that took his place for those years was almost unbearable. But he's my son again now.

    Spent about an hour on the phone to BT this morning and finally got things sorted. Mind you, my blood pressure was v. high for a while afterwards. But, as compensation for all the messing me around, they've reduced my fee by £3 per month for the next year :D Also took out RAC breakdown membership through Quidco this morning (my AA membership ran out last week) so that should be another £40 back eventually.

    Now I need to go and sort out the living room..... which ain't too bad really.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
