    Well the cats are fed, the WM and TD are both reloaded and a pile of laundry is hung to dry on various radiators.. and some of hubbys shirts are ironed and put away.. just another 90 to get done.. by which time no doubt there will be another 100 washed and needing to be ironed!

    I may go to my nest.. see if I can get to sleep before 6:45am tonight!

    Do we do this on household income or just our own? **lost**


    toochoosey, what it fails in is relative wealth, for some of the poorer countries, £3000 a year which gets you in the top 14% would buy you a lot more.

    That's why they do it lil_me - to get you to think you're well off and send money to the charity - good plan, sure it works, but like you say, I may earn 'x' amount, but I pay out 'y' - which is usually more than 'x'... it's all relative eh! If you look at this country, I'm still in the bottom %, and as this is the country where I spend my money, that's where I class myself (not 'class' exactly, but you know what I mean...)

    Pigpen 6.25am is plain silly, even I was asleep by 5am last night! Yes get yourself some sleep, school leg-it starts again soon. April tax credits goes up, child benefit goes up sooner doesn't it. Every little helps :)

    Flower, :rotfl: I know you'll be sat typing numbers in seeing how much. DS2s called them 'square words' for ages, like many other things he can't say he can't accept it's wrong/change it, even when I take the pee and say they are triangle or circle words, does not compute!

    Bah, I'm bored, I haven't done enough to make myself sleepy and my sudoku book is downstairs :( I can't risk going to get it, just incase :o
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    SSL- he works for a bank an dyes they had a sketeton staff but as he is out in HO and meant to be a manager he had to cover for some staff on th eplus side it meant that Ihad to pick him up so was driver today and have started my alcohol free days a day earlier.

    Goodness, I hadn't appreciated that any banks were open today. Cant think what HO stands for? Is it an English or overseas bank that he works for?

    Just off to bed now. Did anyone else watch the Morecambe and Wise programme? I watched it with my children and they thought it was really funny (they are 12 and 9 and nearly 4, but she didn't really 'get' it, just laughed when everyone else did:rotfl:) Much funnier than modern 'comedians' who I just don't get at all :confused: My children like Laurel and Hardy too :D

    The night OH brought home the £25 in lakeland vouchers for me he had bought me 2 DVDS.. both morecambe and wise because he'd seen me watching them over christmas and i happened to comment i liked them :D:D:D Hmm... I'm 23 and getting excited about lakeland vouchers and Morecambe and Wise! Oh dear.....

    (He was also a star and popped into Adams kids and bought DD 2 bags of clothes in the "70% off sale" for the next size up!Including a tshirt that says "If you think im cute. You should see my mummy!" :o :rotfl: )

    I did ask what he'd done........
