Has jennybee had her baby yet?

PF- last seen on facebook at the weekend but as shes back working she may be busy with that, or doing lots of job applications..

Okay cuppa finished, need to get more bits cleared out / put away in DD2 bedroom although not sure how much will get done as she back from school.

:mad: Have just knocked important phone call off list (income support) I applied for it in July last year, September they asked for a form to be sent in re mortgage details did it they lost it:mad: Received a letter re no receipt, rang them up told them I had sent the form to the bank, they said don' worry, prob in system. I then lost my voice for other a month so when I was able to phone them back they still had'nt receiving the form, although the bank sent it them and resent the form. Again I resent it bank sent it to them. Not heard anything, rang them up AGAIN today, claim is now closed because of length of time will have to reclaim:mad::mad::mad:
So have now been on the phone for over half an hour to an absolutely lovely lady:A who was really helpful and cheerful (thank you your an :A) Thank God they can back date the claim. Will now have to contact council tax and let them know whats happening (as I just received and attachment to earnings order to day - what earnings???)
Well lets hope that this time things go a bit smoother. Last time the problem seemed to be my mortgage which is only £100 a month - that really annoyed me because if I was in rented it would have been sorted out straight away:mad:

Now rant over, need to have a lie down and a cup of tea. Its so exhausting dealing with these things, espec as I have always worked - so frustrating makes me sad.

Never mind onwards and upwards.:D

skipsmum - welcome to the thread, just a suggestion but that is a scarily long list. Don't try and catch up or you risk drowning and abandoning everything, I would just jump in tomorrow with Pigpens daily list. Everything will come round again next week. HTH. I am sure toots will be along shortly to welcome you properly, and Pigpen will spot you and add you to the list.

Children are back now but I still have the DR table covered in paperwork. I did finish the tax return though which was a relief. I must put this stuff away or we will not be eating dinner tonight, and a mess just breeds more mess.

I need to find the post about what to keep and what to bin for household filing - Flower was it you who had kept it?

Toots - count me in for the 4.15.

Mudbath

Thanks for the idea Mozzy, I'll try and pick some up next time i'm shopping. I find fruit teas too sweet, which is odd when I don't like coffee without sugar. Ah well..

Toots and Mozzy - i've missed the numbers thing, you can't have a list of 80 things to do Toots!! Thats.. well sensible if it getws everything done i suppose. Just sounds a bit scary. Is that what you are picking numbers for?

Going to have a warm ribena to warm me up a bit (reminds me of being a little kid), then do the washing up, then sort the bookcase as its in dire danger of collapsing...

Back in about half an hour xx
