    Hey scorgeous...forget that...look at your siggie...well done so far on the debt free journey
    Thank you, I haven't bought any new clothes or shoes at all this year and it's killing me. My mum sent me a cheque for £30 for my birthday, was going to put it towards my cards but I jsut feel that a pair of shoes in the Debenhams half price sale is more appropriate today.

    Wise Owl....how did SIL get on running the shop bookie


    Seems ok but it was scarily quiet. :eek:

    DD2 did the shop on Saturday so he spent Sat and Sunday at my place. He has painted the bathroom ceiling and coving and the inside of the front door! I've been trying to do that for over 2 years. Bless him.

    Bookie, sounds like the house sitting was a sucess ;) you'll have to go away more often. Is this the newly returned from France SIL?

    No, I think he's stressed out and can't handle it. He's never been in a job before that causes so much stress.

    Scorgeous - happy birthday love!

    and re the post that came today... bad timing but as bookie says could be just the beginning of a lovely new life! and what better way to start a lovely new life than by blowing it on [STRIKE]sweeties[/STRIKE] sorry, i mean shoes!!

    personally, moving back to scotland sounds lovely, but then i'm biased as i still live here!

    re the phone gals, i am trying to get it sorted! but O2 are hopeless!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
