    Morning everyone - feeling a bit more with it this morning, thanks everyone.

    OH managed to get car sorted, the garage own the car so no repair bills luckily and he was able to work last night.

    Forgot to say yesterday that we got a letter from the mortgage company to say the interest rate has dropped and the new mortgage payment is about 37.00 a month less which all helps.

    Not much planned for today - got to nip to Sainsburys to get nappies for DS and iron everyones clothes for tomorrow. Apart from that just lovely housework.

    Hope everyone is managing to do something more exciting than me! x x

    Gd news re car and mortgage payment, have to confess I was haveing alazy day, did day trip to Glasgow yesterday on train, (19hrs out for 4 1/2hrs in Glasgow), dd was so tired on train, just wouldnt give in, then sods law fell asleep 30 mins from our stop......I felt like the wicked witch haveing to wake her..
    Got to go back to show shop this afternoon, dd had new shoes to go back to school (Clarks) those with he toy in heel, and the heel has wore down and the toy hanging out. when you pay £30.00 4 a pr of shoes you expect them to last, shes only wore them for school......could be fun!! xx

    That sounds a long day Mum - I had trouble with Clarks school shoes (from the back to school section) and was told that they were fashion shoes and not meant for walking - you couldnt make it up! Complained and got a 50.00 voucher and I never complain!

    Bob - I will need turnips throwing at me if I dont pay the difference in mortgage payments off the MBNA card x x x

    Glad you managed to get the shoes sorted Mum - my little experience was a few years back but it still annoys me now!

    Have been working out the budget for the next month and for the next 2 weeks I have a spare £2 in my account! Its really annoying because the balance looks fairly healthy so I think I have money to overpay but all the big bills go out on the first so cant touch it - lets hope OH has a productive night! x x

    Evening all - not much to report today still cant touch bank account so no overpayments have been made. OH at work tonight.

    My OU stuff has arrived so have been looking through that - need to be really disciplined to fit it all in with work, kids, house, horse etc etc, so if I am on here too much shout at me!

    Thats about it really, have posted my Amazon sale out and done a few surveys, nearly at payout stage on a few of them now.

    Hope everyone had a nice day x x x
