    Oh Maz, poor erin, I know how she must have felt at the possibilty of missing a trip. Hopefully *touch wood* it was one of those weird instances where you just throw up for no reason and are fine after.

  • I couldn't see one so thought I'd start one as I'm having a horrid day phoning everyone and cancelling things, being told I can't as I'm in contract (mobile) and could just do with some moral support before I cry at one of these poor call centre staff!

    Tell me tales of what a lovely day you're all having - PLEASE!

    Thanks rubes, it's wierd as she was fine... we're limiting her snacks so it's not as though she'd had loads to eat or drink.

    She's such a trooper, she isn't phased by vomiting at all, personally i hate it, and it makes me feel so sorry for myself...

    How's you today anyway hun?

  • Thank you!

    Cancelled the tv packge so that's got a monthly bill down from £55 to £18.99 (phone and internet!) am really pleased.

    Off to keep phoning them all and then the call to CCCS later too!

    Lovely sun here - time to get the washing out I think.

    hi maggie!

    no lovely tales from me really, all vomit and such like!!

    sorry to hear you're having a craap day... be firm with the mobile people, explain that you will probably have to cancel your exisiting direct debit and most likely leave account in arrears, better for them to cancel tarrif now or at least drop the price, than become a creditor on your list, where they will end up getting less money and it'll take much longer... ask for a manager if getting nowhere with a pleb!

    I'm good, thanks Maz. Things are turning up slightly, landlords rent is going to be paid in full on friday, my cupboards are full and JSA claim is up and rolling. My parents aren't coming back to UK today as previously thought, looks like it's gonna be June instead.
