Fay - That oil bill is massive! Def turn it off and find alternative means. Mums is oil heated and she dreads ordering oil!
KTJazz - gonna go look up your diary. Would start one but I'd never keep it up!!!
NSD day for me - apart from fuel which I budgeted for. ALmost had another mercy dash to my Dad. He went back to the dentist as gap where tooth was was killing and he could see a tooth coming through. Turns out, what he though was a tooth was actually his jawbone and he also had an infection. They have sorted it all but he was in agony poor chap and had to drive home from town.:eek: He seems a bit better this evening. Crap day all round so am consoling myself with a very large glass of wine! Hope everyone else has had better days!

I had a really tough shift at Samaritans, not harrowing calls but mentally exhausting.
I'm looking forward to getting to bed, reading a chapter of my book and getting a good sleep...
KTjazz:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!
If you need to talk to someone confidentially call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org
My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.0 -
