    I'm probably oversimplifying things (as it's not happened to me, I am no expert!) But surely...if someone at the bank has told him that his card has been cloned overseas then they shouldn't be charging him for going overdrawn?

    Like I said, I'm no expert but that seems a little off to me... :)

    G&B this is exactly what I was thinking - AnW's Mum is the banking expert - but surely if they knew before he did then he shouldnt be responsible - I would be jumping on someone's head over this!!!!

    Jenny - you're not rubbish. You're doing the most important job in the world - growing a baby - a baby who is due to be born very soon. We need no promises from you at all. You need to concentrate on you and the little one right now. The housework ain't going anywhere - it'll still be there in a couple of weeks. So put your feet up as often as you need to xx
    ditto what soappie said (beautifully put BTW!!!)- take it easy and just do little jobs.

    just bumping this next bit forward so we dont forget to keep an eye on you!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Morning ladies

    Having one of those days when time just slips away.

    Dalies done and kitchen sorted. Just need to get all my stuff together to go to town - taking a sarnie with me to save cash and I'm meeting friends for a coffee early afternoon and I'll be starving by then.

    Why have I got a cat around my neck like a scarf purring in my ear?

    i miss that, i used to have one too. they like to stop you reading/doing housework/doing anything other than adoring them lol:rotfl:

    KamperKat you have done brilliantly - I hope OH is suitable impressed and you are not tooooooooooo worn out to enjoy your weekend with him!!
    Christmasshopper - hope you feel better soon - sleep will help.

    boddy thats some list for your 12 hour shift - and worse if your manager isnt helping much! At least you have your retirement date fixed and know that you are counting down! That is a nice amount for your gift - have you thought about what you will buy. Hope Mum is fine today.

    lil_me how did you get on at the doctor? hope the pain eases soon - you sound in a bad way. It is worrying about all the jib losses isnt it and when you have friends that it affects its hard.

    Lady Liberty Congrats on the star! How are you - are you getting organised for your op? Time is marching on - it will be good to get it over with - and feel better - I hope Mudbath's progress has eased your mind.

    Mudbath YOU BE CAREFUL!!!! I know its frustrating but go steady - after taking the dogs for 50 mins do you really think you should be shopping as well???? I am glad spotty potty poppy puppy dog was smiling and being good.
    toochoosery hope you are happy with the new furniture now that you have it in place.

    Right, I'm going to have a banana to get me through and then go to the supermarket. Sorry, soappie, not sure i'll manage the market today (quite a lot of work in the end and it'd be a 90 minute round trip) but I promised to buy the minimum!!
