Glad everything is ok xxx

I need to sort my laptop out as i broke it back in may put it in to be repaired and the said it cant be fixed!! so at the mo i am using my daughters one lol, i am going to take it through our home ins they said i could when i made the enquiry but that was back in may so we shall see

mummy2mygirls

works again now!! grrr...ohwell

be good if you can claime it through house insurance! Mine was a mixture of things that had gone wrong and alltogether would have cost more to fix then the new one!! part of it was that i spilt my tea over the keys....:p

today i am having a lazy day (the girls are sooo tired as they have been having busy days and late nights...)and might try sorting the laptop with the spreadsheets etc from the old one so i can see what needs paying etc.....might take me a while as i have no idea about computers!! lol

Cant wait for my cc statement to come in so i can lower the amount paid (even if it is a little) I have lost the online details so i cant look at whats going on.... Hope to have some of the child benifit backdated tomorrow (they have mucked it around sooo much since I sent it in....now not sure if ill miss out on some money...:mad:) What extra i get i will pay of the cc i think

Hope everyone has a nice day - poor dh is at work again today has worked all weekend!!

mummy2mygirls

grr been trying to sort out the child benifit for freya!! its taking me all day and probally costing a fortune on phone calls!!! GRRR :mad:and i am going to have missed out on payments which just tops things of!!!
I sent in the form ages and ages ago and i forgot to sign it:o which was my fault but they took ages to send it back to me. I sent it back...... signed... but havent heard anything from them....waited and waited!! they say to wait 12-16 weeks!!!! what so they dont have to pay you.... trying to phone them, i have been cut of sooo many times and then i finally got to speak to a lady and her system went down and she couldnt do anything told me to hang up and re ring :mad: so im on hold again!! who knows when i will get this sorted......

How did you get on? They should backdate it shouldn't they? How annoying x

Pips_Mum

They should back date it till when she was born, thye did with Pip. They sent me a form for some more info which I rang and gave to them and then I never heard when I rang and eventually got through their shocking phone system they said they would back date it.

x x x x

mummy2mygirls

they will back date it 3 mths from when they first receive the claim - lucky as that within 3 mths from when she was born - so shouldnt lose out on any money....fingers crossed - good thing is i sould hopefully get a nice sum when they do sort it so might be able to get the bits sorted for the girls room or put it towards the cc

grrr just had a look for the bank card so i can check the online banking and dh has taken it to work!! grrr which means he will have spent loads as he always does and i needed to go and get a bday present for a party dd1 is going to...now im not sure when i can go get it - dh has just said to go and get it from him but he is about half hr away!! grrr.....
All good dh not having a card so he doesnt spend but dont take mine!!! grrrr

I had abbey call me yesterday to check if there was fraud on my bank card as it had been used more then normal!!! lol they are not used to us spending money!!

Have ordered a hampster cage etc for dd1s bday and got it for half the price in the pet shop! So now just have to go get the hampster nearer her bday!! Also need to book her party but not sure where or what to do for it.....any ideas for a 6yr olds bday???????.............................

mummy2mygirls

i have had two parcels today which are the hampster cage and also some wheres wally books i ordered from amazon - will open tonight when dd1 is asleep - hope they are all ok.....

Been making cakes today with the girls and used the same mixture as i always do and the girls little cakes are fine but i made a big one to put jam and cocunut on but mine hasnt risen is hard and flat probally forgot someting....... silly pg brain!!! lol i will not waist it though and will eat it all up and it doesnt taste to bad......reallly trying to cook some more things from scratch to save some money on the shopping - seem to be spending loads and not really getting much....:mad: made some jam tarts the otherday which were yummy - but i cheated and used some ready made pastry which i had in the freezer for ages....:o so will see what they are like next time when i try my own pastry.......

Anyway of to eat my cake with a cup of tea and read some more of the old style....

mummy2mygirls

I am a busy one on here today!!! I have rejoined the grocery challenge again and hope to try and bring the bills down......will see if i can do it. I have set myself a highish target for this mth of £350 but as i have already spent £90 and have dd1s bday i think i will need it all..... that will include all the food shopping, household cleaning bit, nappies, baby milk, pet food (dog, fish and soon to be hampster....) and cosmetics..........

mummy2mygirls

have had a good day today - all booked into the midwife i no it doesnt mean things are going to be all fine but i just feel a little happier that i have got this far. I have to go for bloods on monday and have another appointment for next friday to do some more of the booking in bits (not sure why they do it over the two weeks)
I have also been to toddler group and to my mums - and she seems to always give me something yummy to take away at the moe (she buys the girls treats which they can never eat of of them while we are there) She gave us a 8 pack of the small mullercorners with the chocolate balls etc (which i think i might have to help with ) also some dunkers (good as i wouldnt buy them for the girls..... and some tomatoes.... also in her words she is a 'marketers dream shopper' and had a new no7 mascara which she isnt going to use so she gave me that aswell Love a freebie

Also we went blackberry picky today, dd1 didnt have many in her bag when we had finished as she had ate so many so i know she has had atleast one of her '5 a day' and for free lol

Im so sad and looking forward to the bb final today - glad there will be something to keep me busy with....oh and also my mum gave me a big bag of m&ms yum yum yum which i might have to have while watching it tonight....

DD has a party tomorrow and i managed to get some wheres wally books from amazon (out of vouchers) for him. and we also have a family bbq for tomorrow afternoon - its going to be £10 for the family but it means we will all be feed and the girls will love it....

Anyway better go as i can smell dinner is ready....
