    Did you see that Christmas Shopper's ring turned up? In fact there has been some good news for lots on the thread - Pigpen's cooker, Triker's feeling better, G&B has a new WM and Action Woman (or should that be Wonder Woman?) Soappie has struck again...
    as for my financial gain - well I won't count my chickens. But I am looking forward to a grovelling apology from D'hams re the balance transfer foul up..

    My sis also had her baby.. and got her home after rushing her back in fitting.

    I've got a cheque in the post for £3500 for the food while I was without a cooker

    And.. DS1's GF has been taken back to hospital .. baby due.. today.. may be in labour.. might not be..

    So what are you going to do with the cheque Pigpen? Have you managed to make a profit out of your disaster?!

    Pay off the credit card, pay my daughters trip to Lourdes (£350) Pay off two catalogues... saving myself £410 per month!!.. AND I am having my meter moved from the hallway to outside!

    I've not got all the charges in yet.. I have to find a price for my blinds, the decorating, the new unit and cupboard plus fitting.. and the paint etc for the kitchen

    We don't know if gf's baby is on its way yet.. just being monitored.. she keeps getting water infections which trigger conx's so we'll have to wait and see.. I think she is doing this today as a way to get out of staying at the foster carers house.. and TBH I can't say I blame her!!

    Tabitha is doing great.. my sis text today and asked if it is ok to leave her to sleep for 5 hours between feeds.. it's only once a day.. she said she feels mean lol..
