    Serena so sorry to hear of the fraud trouble. I have no experience but have you looked at the ebay/paypal board on here for help?

    Cottage pie was eaten by all children which is a right result as none of them used to like it.

    Going to get DS3 to try on his stuff and put his PJs on ready for bed.

    Will finish the bathroom whilst I'm up there. Tomorrow I'll concentrate on the family room which is in desperate need of attention and then DS1's room when he gets home from school.

    They are very tempting mudders have you succumbed yet? :D

    oh great - more temptation - Woolies have an up to 50% off sale tomorrow ....I need to stop reading this site.

    I've burnt the chops, ive loaded the DW and it's ON, WM is STILL on, opened the quailty st, checked outside to see if it's slippy (IT IS :mad: ) and half S&S'd the kitchen....just waiting for the tea dishes to be finished with then I'll hand wash them and finish wiping.

    soappie unfortunately not, it's her Mother who has the only photo any of us are aware exists. I went there last week but didn't go in the room it was in, will look next time I go. I don't spend any unnecessary time with the WIL, socially or otherwise. Thanks for even having a go, we have come up with nothing so far.
    serena sounds iffy, I hope it's sorted soon, sounds like a huge mix up
    Summermoon pleased to hear it went well

    Fuming, just sent a mad as a hatter email to gas provider who's just sent me a bill based on a very very low estimate pre 1st Dec, 1st Dec my tariff changed, I have had a bill based on meter reads taken the week before which were higher than this estimate! Thinks someone is trying to make me pay more for the gas I have already used? Might phone them aswell just to scream even more!

    Changed order, put it through with Littlewoods Direct instead as cheaper and new customer code, £194 goods for £107.50 :o Don't ask, I spotted the light sabres the boys wanted, a transformer too, a new jacket (happy xmas to me) a new skirt (happy xmas to me) some new knickers (happy xmas to me) ooooo a bit of a pattern there :rotfl:

    Off to scream at gas people, back in a mo
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    I had an e-mail today saying I've got £47 to spend at Organised Mum :D Commission payments...woo hoo! Trouble is I don't actually need anything :rotfl: I don't need a diary as I have my filofax and computer and the last time I got a calendar I never actually used it! Although saying that the home calendar with a month on view at the time is very tempting :o

    Hi zaza, two points...

    A) You are not rubbish at posting - very helpful, and
    B) I used to love hectors house... your avatar is brilliant... :D

    :o Aww, thanks very much :o Hector's House seemed kind of appropriate for a France dweller, and I loved it too. We always used to say I was Zaza, and my brother was the little bird in the opening credits... not sure why now I come to think of it!
