I am sooo disappointed. We went without a holiday this year so that we could save the points for my car. Then they waited until the holiday season had ended to pull the Motorpoint deal. I don't know what to do with my points. So I've dusted them.

Need to finish up on the following later:

• Address list 2009 and Christmas card list

Oh no.... poor you, that's so dreadful. Esp after going without a holiday! I'm not surprised you're down in the dumps.

I got a head start yesterday, but that's it now, I'm done for today, just my usual dalies I guess.... dinner, and get tomorrow's lunches done.


Talking of lunches......

My little minx DD3 has been having school meals without my knowledge!!!! She takes her lunchbox in every day, but is allowed a school meal on Fridays. I went to pay for DD2 & 3's Friday lunches for the half term ie 8 weeks.... expecting to pay £13.60 for each child.... and got presented with a bill for £44 just for DD3 :eek: :eek: :eek:

Well, I think the phrase is "pending further investigation" !!!!!!!
As she doesn't eat much at all at lunchtime because her meds suppress her appetite, I didn't think anything of her not eating her lunch!!!
Her sister has had a school meal every friday, but Little-un has had loads apparently!!!!!!

Not sure what the end result will be, but I don't think I should have to pay full whack for that...do you?

In case anyone missed it before DD3 has downs and is at a mainstream school.

Well i'm quite happy now, had my old mobile listed on fleabay with 8 days still to go. They go for about £80-£90 so when someone emailed me to see if i would accept £80 cash today i obviously jumped at it:D So i am now £80 better off and fleabay got nothing;) Poor guy had sold his computer on gumtree and some dodgy guy picked it up, didnt notice til after he had left that his phone was gone too. Felt really sorry for him!

Can some kind person tell me how to do multiple quotes as i missed the masterclass last week i think it was?
