Welcome to all the newbies... it appears we now have TWO peg cults :eek: rather than just the one, as there is a breakaway faction. However, it is not compulsory to join, whatever TAG & Valli & Natty tell you

just heard a TERRIFIC crash upstairs...the glass ball lightshade has fallen off the ceiling (how?) in the bathroom. It is situated above the loo. The loo seat was UP so the loo is now full of broken glass...

goodness knows how that happened BUT at least no one was under it...
I think I will blame DS - he left the light on:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good morning all, i think i have woken up with this cold too my head and throat hurt and after some medicine, i'm finding it hard to keep eyes open.
this morning i have made the bed, DDmade her own - she can be good when she wants to - and the WM is now cleaning itself with some soda crystals - i havent got any vinegar, will it make a diff? - any way, can't see a lot more being done here, i need to go to matalan to get some hangers sos i can sort the floordrobe, and after class and work, need to get some food. SD is picking DD up from school so i shall be wondering round MrT aimlessly, no doubt.
Hope you all have a good fly/work/family day xxx

Morning all :hello:

I've got tea on already (Slowcooked turkey stew made out of last nights leftovers & veg :money: ) but that's about all that will get done before school. I can't wait until Saturday and I can have a lie in

Managed to sort out an action plan for my debts, now I just need to go to the bank on Friday and do it In theory its going to save me somewhere in the region of £150 in interest between now and April :j After a brief phone call to the credit card company yesterday to double check, I'm using a credit card cheque to pay off the majority of my overdraft and its going to be covered by the 0% until April offer for Balance Transfers :j The CC APR is about 9% lower than my overdraft APR. Yes, its going to increase my credit card repayments, and as of April my interest, BUT it means I can get my overdraft paid off by April-ish (as long as nothing major goes wrong *fingers crossed* *touch wood* ) and I've already budgeted what the repayments will be and can easily afford them See I have it all planned....I just need to stick to a budget, which I'm just about managing to do :j

Best go and do DD's hair :wave:

Good morning all!

Sorry I haven't been about again this week - been busy supplying and gyming again, and when I logged on for the first time to see 8 pages on Monday night, I'm afraid it was too daunting to work through them all. So, I've decided that as I'm off this morning, that I'd read the last page or so. Sorry I missed your birthday toots - I hope you had a really nice day.

Well it has been confirmed that I start teaching full time at my new school on Monday 20th October (next week), so I'll be there for 1 week, then it's half term for a week, then I'm there for another 2 weeks before I'm off for 2 weeks holiday (booked before the job was offered so they are ok about it), then back for a few weeks before it's Christmas! My first day starts with a KS2 trip to the cinema to watch Prince Caspian for free, so I'm quite excited about it. However, the class I'll have are quite difficult, so I'm going to have to put a reward system in place and introduce a few rules I think as they desperately need some consistency and structure.

On the flying front, I've managed to do a couple of loads of laundry this morning, but I've now got to go to take elderly neighbour to the doctor again, so I'll see what I can do when I get home - I'm booked for supply again this avo.

Hugs to all who need or want one, and welcome to all newcomers.
