I know I shouldn't laugh but Barclays... :rotfl:Evil people!
I've had an... eventful... night...
Got back from the hospital at about 7am with no sleep and suspected Meningitis because a particularly bad migraine triggered all the symptoms for it! :mad:
I have two housemates who didn't hear the paramedics come in, the conversations, the check up, the conversations previously with NHS Direct and Ambulance control. So I'm off (again...) and wishing I had more accrued holiday so I could afford to take it off....
Grrr to the migraines! But yay to nap! And obviously yay to OH who was with me the whole time, made the phone calls and is still awake now! :T:beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:
Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!
How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:0 -
beanie, I know - bunch of muppets!
walshy - that sounds horrific! I hope you are feeling better now, although obviously having had no sleep is not good. Get some rest!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Oh Walshy - sorry to hear of your mishaps - we had the same with DS 12 years ago - they thought it was meningitis. Scary. but good on your OH for being there with you. Hope you feel a lwhole lot better soon.
Narglebalst - we don't have an Eglu - just what looks like an oversize triangular shaped rabbit run with an enclosed bit for night time. Mind you our chickens have the run of the garden (we've got about 1/2 acre) and only pop in the run when they want to either lay an egg or go to sleep. The pheasants have fully investigated it as well!!!
We are away a couple of days next week with no internet access so will have to check things are in order before hand!
Right ......... having cleaned the fridge and have made tomato salsa I'm now off to the library.
