    Fay, thanks for putting the main body of the thread up, i know SM likes it to be up as then newbies know what we are talking about, otherwise it can be a bit confusing.

    Thanks Alison for starting the thread.

    :hello:Hi All

    Good luck for the interview Candy, let us all know how it goes.

    Got home last night and OH was in bed as had a headache and wanted a lie down, so I sat next to him on the bed and noticed some furry mould growing on the wall by the bed. Looked under the bed and we find it is right across the bottom of the wall, practically all the way across and grown quite high up - I cringe just thinking about it. The landlord should be in the flat with OH about it about now so I hope the landlord is going to sort it out. It's not just a little bit, it is loads. He tried telling us last night just to wipe it off unless we were concerned and wanted him to see it, so he is coming round. I'm worried for my health it's so bad!!!

    Today:
    Look up about mould
    Things I didn't do from yesterdays list
    More thinking on 101 list
    Check emails
    Free scratches
    Lunch from home
    Restaurant meeting tonight about rotas and stuff then off to OH's parents to use the internet
    Check for mystery shops
    Update sig

    Feeling bad as I'm about to use the tumble dryer but.....

    Found lot's of baby bedding/clothes in loft I didn't think we had so saving money on buying stuff there.
    Converted clubcard vouchers that arrived today for days out vouchers to use during our Sun holiday at the end of the month so saved a MASSIVE £28 from our holiday budget :j That's another cheap day out or meal we can go out for :D
    Debts today (11/05/09) £15700 ish aiming to be debt free by April 2011
    Baby no 3 due in Oct - all I have left from the previous 2 is a cot so will have to spend money that should be going on debts :mad:
    Have found baby clothes & bedding and also a baby swing lurking in the loft - not much but every little helps.

    Afternoon all!
    I've discovered free wireless internet in the conference place I'm at so I'm back in the land of the living!

    Still freezing cold and pouring down in Portugal - not my idea of fun!

    Not much to report today as I'm still away with work (home tomorrow:j:j).
    • Have a NSD (all on expenses)
    • Free food - although all I've been abl eto eat today so far is bread - I'ma veggie and lunch was "meat" soup, fish risotto (yum - NOT!) and bread. Am starving - but am moving to a new hotel near the airport later this afternoon and will scoff whatever I can then.
    • Check banks - Mr S has charged me for something I haven't bought - how can that happen? My shopping bill went out as expected and then another separate item of £14.40. What do I do? Phone th bank or MrS? Help!!!
    • Use company mobile to call home
    • Dream of coming home....
    That's it for today - a bit feeble but I am marooned and being held hostage abroad against my will!

    Hi,

    Tried to post earlier from work but as soon I typed my list it disappeared. :confused:

    Anyhoo, hope Candy's interview went well. Yuck to the mold.

    No ambitious plans for today as going to have Friday and Monday off from work to tackle all the stuff that needs sorting out. Just done my scratchies etc and will eat supper from what is in.
