Moooooorning one and all,
Do not ask why I am at stupid o'clock in the AM as I am not even sure myself...couldn't sleep! :eek:

What's everyone up to today? I am working (quel surpris) and then home to iron and do my Daily Shred. Whoop! DH is playing badminton tonight :rolleyes:.


I had a phone call last night from our good friends Tax Credits saying we owe £400 in over payments? :confused::confused::confused: Really not sure WHAT they are on about as jmust last week we had a letter saying they had clawed back everything we had been overpaid...Honestly, the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing there...I could cry it frustrates me so.

I really hope someone is about as I am bored-may even go check out this Twitter everyone is on about...:p

    I've been up since 3.30. I took the baby to bed at 5pm and my stupid husband left me to sleep, so I woke at 3 and have been wandering around the house since.

    I have an interview at Uni today :) I have decided to pass the time being a sahm by doing a doctorate in music. Of course I wasn't thinking yesterday when I put a keratin hair treatment on (which can't be washed out for 3 days) and I need to get a passport photo done this morning.

    Bunny the tax credits are a law unto themselves. I had a letter saying I owe over 2k. But when I called the guy said it was a total mistake (from 2003) and that he had corrected it. I got another letter a couple of weeks later, same conversation with a different person. Yesterday I had another letter. I can see this going on for years.

    I have a boring day to day. Cant be bothered. Im in work, finish at 7am. Then take the dog out, then check me facebook :rolleyes: has to be done, im vvvv sad.
    Then going to bed.

    Got a bad belly today though. Made a veggie curry last night (already had all the curry stuff in, and just bought £1 bag veg at ASDA). It was awfull. Dont know if its because it had no meat in??? I made one on Saturday with Lamb, and it was delicious. Dunno what I done wrong this time. Although, I just realised I forgot the tinned tomatoes. Dya think that would of done it?

    Hello to both of you btw :)
    I know my spelling is shocking :eek: It is alot better than it used to be though :rotfl:

    Gonzo-who knows why some things give you a bad belly-I want a curry now that you've mentioned it though... (not the bad belly bit obviously)

    lol.

    Im sure it was probably just the way I made it. Normally leave it in the SC, but forgot to put it in, so made it last night, only cooked for about 90 mins.

    Go-oooon, make a curry, lol. You cant beat a good curry. Although, Sunday Dinners, Chinese, Iranian hmmmmm. Think I might be hungry, lol :)

    Ive never tried that. TBH, I find Aldi quite dear on alot of things. Just for example Milk. Its £1.50 in my local Aldi for 4 pints, and 96p in Asda.

    How much is that cooking stuff?
