    Hopefully sorted, grrrr, cross at the fact they have just generated another bill.....an estimated one at that....

    Just also realised the electric bill is about 1500-2000 units out aswell maybe more, that was based on meter reading fellas read in November, 92476, it's only at 90670 NOW! I think it says that anyway, can't reach without the ladder properly but the 1000's digit is not past zero!Gas was out by over 50 too. I think he just made the numbers up. So the debit balance on the electric, they probably actually owe me money....Oh !!!!!!! I've switched anyway so will soon know when the final bills come in which will look completely screwy!

    Gryfon buy them for me :D I like presents, can you tell ? :D Actually, what is Organised Mum? I'm off for a google...

    Actually I rarely buy myself anything, the skirts reduced to £8.50, I don't usually do skirts but got told to try one again :o after about 8 years of not wearing one, and the jacket, well I am sick of going to really important meetings and being the only one without a smart jacket :( so I wanted one, it's free anyway, only paid for neice/nephews presents and that was the free one :D Knickers was after my undies sort :o and having to wear DPs boxer shorts one day last week......

    Kids teas cooking, they kept messing me about not deciding what they wanted hence it's a bit late.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Well now... Re: the spammer from earlier.... I went to look at Debenhams online earlier (thanks Lil_me! :D ) Now, I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I got spam for Debenhams vouchers. Decidedly dodgy type of 'click here for untold wonders' type of spam.

    So, I've cleared all my cookies, I hate Spammers :mad:

    SarahS I can't remember what site they come off but there is one that sends out promises of all kinds of vouchers, I've been sent a few. Did you use Quidco too? You get cashback for Debenhams on there.

    Think I will have another blast through the presents list, what I need to buy etc later, need to update purchase list too.

    Oh PC tower fixed, don't know how long the power supply will last as it's smaller than the last one, but it's running for now at least.

    Back after made teas, I think I fancy eggs, something eggs, eggs something, maybe just a poached egg on toast :D

    Evening everyone.

    Have just quickly zoomed through the thread. Been lots of snow here today although it was starting to melt tonight.

    Going to jump in the shower shortly and have a early night. I have a overtime shift tomorrow at my new workplace.

    DD said it was very emotional seeing the baby born. Not sure about her being godmother but I think its possible.

    Oooh Filofaxes I looked at them too. But have not succumbed as I have a one already though its a bit battered now. I also love the smell of new magazines. I could spend hours in a stationery shop.

    Flower Thank you for doing the Christmas card map.

    Soappie. Mum was fine and loved seeing the snow. I wrapped her up and we dashed outside to see the xmas tree they had put up. It was beautiful with the snow lying on it. We only dashed out for a minute as it was snowing heavily and freezing. They didnt have their Thorntons moring as they couldnt get there.

    Serena I hope you manage to get sorted out. Enjoy your trip.

    lil_me...if you do ever get anything from there I have an affiliate number ;)

    Think I might get the calendar, at least then I can write down everything for a month and only have to change it each month! I have a demin filofax at the moment which I got as it matched my handbag :D
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Well I was only trying to help Mudbath and I seem to have caused a bit of a furore - and you lot all stationery addicts... and you have the temerity to go on at me'n'Tag:rotfl:

    I really like the Lilac Milan ... a smaller size than my filofax at the moment which I don't use cos it's too big and it would fit in beautifully with my MACAW ...oh the pain...

    ETA Looking good Summer
