    Thanks YB. I was so worried. He is normally so active, and vocal. but he just looked so sorry for himself sitting on his blanket. :( He came into my bedroom this morning and sat himself on my lap and purred lots, so i think he was feeling better. I worry because he was very ill when i got him for a whole 6 months he was on special pills (a trial) and I had to take him to a specialist. I panic so much now!

    :rolleyes:

    aww.

    I checked my pay slip yesterday and whilst it didn't mention anythig about the £60 rebate, my total was £60 up so that's a bonus. I'm going to spend it all on me for a change. I need some jumpers lol

    Enjoy Tesco. I had my Sainsburys order last night, but I was at work. Looked in the fridge this morning and there were parsnips! We don;t like parsnips so I know I wouldn;t order any. I asked OH about it but you know men they just assume you've ordered it lol.

    I checked the receipt and haven't been charged then looked in the fridge again and we gained a bag of parsnips, a cauliflower, a broccoli, extra bag of carrots all for no extra charge. Bonus. Now need to find something to make with it all lol.
  • Well a rubbish morning!!!!

    Failed my test again, i apparently had the worst examiner there. Another guy waiting for his studnet to come back said to my instructor when i walked out with her "nobody deserves to have her" . She's an ex prison warden and on some sorta power trip. She's had a lot of complaints. I'm just booking another test now, need to keep at it..!!!

    Another rubbish thing today, i didn't get the £60 tax rebabte. I'm not sure why. I def don't earn over £40K so god knows why i didn't get it. I started with job last June, and did temp work before that, so maybe thats why, not been with the company since the financial year started last April. God i dunno.

    Aww sorry to hear about your test Hayley. Don't give up.

    I didn't think I would get the tax rebate as I was on mat leave most of last financial year but it's odd I got it, not complaining though.

    Have been working out my cashback coming to me, DD wants a new phone and an ipod for xmas, normally she would only get one big thing but I think I can get the ipod out of cashback money this month so might do it for her if I do.

    Awww Hayley... deffo dont give up on your test. All the best people pass 3rd time round ;):D

    What did you fail on? (im so nosey I know, tell me to bog off if you want!).

    Re: The tax rebate, im sure you should get it. Maybe ring up your accounts person and ask them? Everyone who pays basic tax rate should get it I think.

    Well im doing some work... and i dont understand it, and im getting very frustrated. :rolleyes:
