Greenbee Happy Birthday :bdaycake: and thank for the vouchers they arrived this morning.

Toot glad your appointment went ok.

I've done very little today, went to eason and it was closing down (only that store but to be honest i wouldn't be surprised if the whole chain closed) and managed to get £40 worth of stuff for a tenner.:money: I'm totally shathered today so think i'll head to bed once i get the kids to bed.

i think I better call it a day....i'm burning up:o

Reya

Right. Well I didn't want to just sit here like a lump, refreshing this and a few other threads on MSE, so I logged into my online banking, opened up my Excel spreadsheet for my 2009 budget, and balanced the books, as it were. (Hey, I can be productive and make my finances sparkle while I rest my feet!)

Funny thing I noticed. Whenever I realise a CC payment is due in the next couple of days (and I pay it immediately) it usually doesn't show on my bank statement until a day or so after the due date. And I get charged £12 for the privilege of being late with my payment.

However, I paid three CCs on Sunday, all of them well before the due dates. Strangely, the amounts are all showing on my bank statement as coming out immediately on Monday.

Hrm... :think:

pigpen

I have bunnies running all over my house.. chasing and being chased by kittens... it is like a nut house in here!!

chillies in their jammies already.. I've had to wake them all for school the last couple of days so an early nigth won't go amiss!

I feel like I have done loads today and nowhere really looks any better!

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday greenbee - sorry I thought it was tomorrow:o

Thanks for the vouchers BTW they arrived yesterday.

Toots - glad it wasn't too bad at the hospital.

Haven't caught up with all the thread yet - hardly surprising - but I may do later as DH isn't back until about 9.

Finished work - went to the library (and they waived my fines) - then to Asda.

Anyone up for a HHC 6.30 - 7?

pigpen you HAVE done loads today - here catch *throws pigpen a doggy bisc !!* I think you deserve it and maybe a cuppa too - have you eaten today???
elliep dont be disheartened petal- we all have been in the beginning - just keep doing as much as you can and all these small jobs will soon make a difference when the rooms come round again!!
onlineid thats a scary list!!!!! good luck with it - nice to see you back again!.
JennyBee hope you are resting - remember you are not allowed to give birth on the thread!!!!!
zebedee (that was my lovely affie's name) I have sent you a pm - dont worry about everybody else's list jusy you post what you have done - not everyone is working or well enough to do all the list and some of us are just .....lazy for want of a better word!!!!! No matter how small it is a success and next week that job will be easier - you will get through it quicker and be able to do something extra - a 3 year old will keep you busy so maybe try to do things while he or she is sleeping? happy flying!

rach

evening all

rather tired tonight and soooo cold in here! Thankfully not too much hanging around on platforms on the way home tonight. Dinner is in and I'm gonna catch up on a few pages on here whilst it finishes.

Not sure I'll get far with the flying: want to bath and flop tonight. Kitchen is actually pretty ok (usually is as I can't stand it messy or dirty) so will s&s it but that will probably be about it!

flybabybunting

Right - DS2 bathed and in his cot, he drank 3oz milk, will try and sleep feed him later.
Best go start Dinner and I'm in for the HHC juliejim.

Ready, Steady, Go....
