    Hi Mrs Cmr - sorry to hear you had a pants day yesterday. Not surprised you were cross with OH, it's so hard when you feel that you are doing all the sums and know you can't afford to do things. You have my sympathies.

    I threw Spaghetti Bologneise once :o was a hell to clear up!! I felt stupid too!:rolleyes:

    Hi mrs cmr, its been a while since i posted on your diary but i have been reading your progress and know it has been a tough time for yous all, hopefully you will be out the other side of it soon. Not at much today except waiting on a washing machine to be delivered from tesco direct. A bit cross because it has taken 18 days to be delivered when on the website it says delivery in 2-3 days:mad:. You can imagine yourself what it has been like trying to get washing done between friends and family- how did people ever cope without these devices! Hope all is well with you today :D

    Do we have to hope you do or don't get them :confused:

    The recession's over...just nobody seems to have told anyone in hiring positions yet!
