    I'm afraid I used my extra hour as extra drinking time at the speedway end of season bash we were at.....shameful I know, still managed to get myself out of bed at 8.45am (GMT!) though and down for breakfast before they finished serving. Good thing to as it's seen me through the day so I've not needed anything else until this evening. I do seem to have spent a fair bit of time since we got home earlier finding clocks that need changing though!

    Well done on the credit report Fay - regarding cancelling the trial and not forgetting, surely there's an app on the iphone for that?! :p I keep thinking I must do my credit report at some stage, or, more to the point, do MrEH's as his is the one more likely to be a problem, the only thing is I suspect he almost doesn't want to know and it's not something I'm prepared to push him into. It's good that you've been able to sort out that unpaid phone bill though so it will clear off your record eventually even if it will take a bit of time.

    i think i've sprained my wrist...... by cleaning the cooker! always knew housework was an extreme sport, but never realise it extended beyond the effect it has on my skin.
    the kitchen was sparkly for a few hours but it's a bomb site again now that tea has been cooked and cakes have been baked. why does it never stay sparkly? it's just not fair!

    Its a risky business out there isnt it
    Hope you are OK - blimey - well that's cleaning the kitchen off my list :D

    Working, packing and heading to NI the morn'.

    OH having major PhD talks with work and uni tomorrow - will see how that pans out

    I was brave and gave my lodger a pay in book for my account to say 'um when you pay the rent this week - can you just put it in the bank please' she normally gives me cash :eek: which of course disappears!!

    Kids just back, tired but happy - huge row with EX hub on phone about him putting them on a plane on their own - they are supposed to fly 'accompanied' - he's made me feel stupid - but for once I don't care as he's not thinking about their best interests (I know they are 13 and 14 but they are still not old enough to fly completely by themselves) (just MHO) so now I am the evil witch ex from hell - or words to that effect.

    :o pah they are my kids too and I want to make sure they are not only safe when travelling but comfortable, secure and accompanied!

    Rant over


    :) hugs to all and take care - another month with cruising of overdrafts so close to the wind we nearly toppled over - nearly though - NOT quite :D

    Hugs chapps and chapppesssessss xx

    Hotel has wireless so I am sure I can annoy you all from there :rotfl:
