ZLS phone them, meter or card they have a team who they have to call who are there 24/7 who will come out to put charge on your meter! If they won't do it complain and switch companies tomorrow! I have been with the same company on card meters and they have done it for me before when I had problems, I am still with them but on 'normal' meters. I had to ring them when I had under 50p and they came straight out I would try their emergency number again explaining you have a little one that you have problems, can't get gas on and have ran out

Well DPs home, 4am-9pm he looks shattered and so did his friend, DP had an hours sleep before they went but luckily one of the other lads drives there and back, he went to sleep again on the way back, I do hope he doesn't sleep talk as much as he does at home, I'd hate to think he was driving MY car that tired. Chinese nomnomnom the thing I have never mastered the art of cooking and doubt I ever will so enjoyed it very much.
Made 3 days worth of packed lunch sandwiches to freeze as the rolls needed freezing. Got enough uniforms for the morning but need to put the stuff that's in the washer, gathered from the childrens rooms, on the airers.
Promised myself I'd have a look for pressies this evening online but this VAT thing is making me stall a little......One day I might be more organised...........

Congratulations loopy-loo I'm so pleased to hear you had a great wedding. You put so much work in, you deserved a gorgeous day. It's great the the family behaved as well.
Toots no-one does a welcome to the newbies like you do honey!! It really wasn't the same without you. I was thinking, you ought to have your super welcome speech copied somewhere, so you don't have to keep typing it out each time!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Lady-Liberty I was just wondering how you were, so nice to hear from you. Glad you're weekend was good. (((hugs)))) fingers crossed for a cancellation.
Valli I'll miss you! See you back here on Wednesday!
Piggers I'm glad all went well, and wasn't too painful. :T

Ok, I'm in. Somebody please send me some positive vibes for this week. I feel like either me or one of the family has been ill forever!!! :rolleyes:
However, in spite of things being a little tricky, the house has somehow been knocked into shape, so HHCs are the way to go for me.
DH and I have just watched Survivors. Did anyone else? What did you think? I remember it first time round in the early 80's I think.... showing my age now! Mind you, you lot saw me turn 40, so no surprises there!
DD1 is at my mother's for the week. That works, as they both get some undivided attention... Bless them! DD2 is off school apparently as the boiler's still broken. But DD3 is back to school tomorrow.
I'm going to do a very careful Lidl list in the morning, and see how small I can make my shopping bill. I was just reading the 'meals with lentils' thread... started by someone feeding a family of 5 on £40!!!!! I'm nowhere near that frugal... but I'm aspiring! :rotfl: :rotfl:
