    Morning all! I mean Afternoon!

    Well it was morning when I logged on!

    I've had a very long lie in as DH is watching the Cup final from yesterday. I had lots of dreams about being trapped at a football match and not being able to escape. It turns out that Wembley doesnt have any exits and is staffed by aliens painted to look like humans.

    Hugs Frodders, what a horrible friend. Hope you are ok.

    Hug Julie

    That thread about the cleaning looks good, I've saved it to watch later!

    Welcome back HH (are you related to H from Steps?) and Witchypoo

    I'd better get dressed and get ready to go to my Bible meeting, its at 1, so need to get a move on. See you all later, have a lovely afternoon xx

    Well put Greenbee - personally I am of the opinion that if a relationship is going wrong THAT needs to be sorted and baggage dealt with BEFORE getting involved with someone else...

    Flylady_flower - it's been a narrow escape but i'm back with you now... pegs chosen at random for the last four washes and I didn't even look afterwards to see how many matched! It's early days but I think i'm over the worst!:rotfl: Phew....I was so nearly a member of 'the other side'!

    Dogs have had a massive run in a big shady park near my parents....stripes made friends with another puppy and they exhausted each other :j.

    Just going to have a chilling sort of afternoon until hubby gets back at . The children stripped their beds and put it in the washing machine, today they also hung it out and are now going to make their beds.:T Part of my plan to get them doing their beds from now on. At the moment they are keen! :rotfl:xx

    She says she didn't want me involved! I know the whole extended family well so it's even more difficult. It came out because, after a few drinks on Friday night, she got him to come and meet her in the pub!!! So we are all now in a difficult situation and I've discovered that I have been used as cover many times over the last few months! :mad:
    .
    So why did she 'involve' you by using you for an alibi:confused:
    Not saying it would be right, but if you need to use someone for an alibi then make sure they know and are willing to be used.
    You could have dropped her in it without knowing there was an 'it' to drop her in IYSWIM.

    It's quite possible - if she didn't log out and he saw the link in the browser history. Or she has it on notifications and he saw a notification in her in box. The response seemed genuine and not at all troll like

    Please may I have two more stars Soappie - all five done now thanks.

    Froddington - hugs for you, what a grim thing to do to you.

    Had something go fairly badly wrong at work when I was off last week. My fault - lack of attention to detail on my part. Mistake that is currently costing thousands, not looking forward to going in this week. My new boss is very nice but even he may get excited about this.

    AnW's mum - you may be able to help me here. Sent an autopay payment with twisted numbers on the bank code. Payment didnt get there, so we re-sent as an emergency CHAPS, told our bank business account manger what we were doing and why. Turns out that someone at the bank realised the numbers were twisted and corrected them without checking with us so both payments went through. Former employee has removed both lots of money from the account and isn't returning calls. Have we got any comeback against the bank? Ex employee uses the same bank as us if this is significant.

    Hello, hello,hello !!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

    Just popped in to say hi to you all on this fabulous sunny warm day!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Well I've moved now :j:j and I have to report that the house was no where near flylady standard. In fact I don't think it has ever been flylady cleaned up until now ;):p It took me a whole day just to clean inside and out of the kitchen cupboards and I'm ashamed to say I haven't even tackled the oven yet.:o Tis very, very scary in there:eek: And there is still stacks to do. The bathroom is scarier than the oven. But I'm getting there slowly but surely.

    Missing you all like mad. I've just printed off this last weeks flylady list just so as I've got something to work to/from:confused: next week.

    Hope to be back on line soon not sure when yet though. Love to all xxx

    Hex they should have contacted you before correcting your original error to check a inform you that there was a twist in the numbers and b make you aware and check that you had not already made realised (as you had) and made alternative arrangements (as you had).

    If the details had been left as you originally set up the payment would have been rejected (on the assumption that the twist did not result in another genuine sort code thereby potentially going to an account totally unrelated) and the funds returned to your account in the few days following.

    As they did not contact then I believe that there is a claim.

    Toots has just called, she is making progress slowly but surely. She is really fed up at missing the lovely weather, there is no one to take her outside :( But her brother and his children were able to visit yesterday and the balloons have cheered her up.

    She is still not sure when she might be discharged, is taking it one day at a time.

    She has asked after you all and is pleased to hear the progress being made on the flying front :)


    As she was not expecting to be admitted the other day she does not have her phone charger with her, her friend has taken some in but none of them are right. So if anyone has a vodafone charger spare then please let me know and I'll give you the details of where to post. It is to fit a vodafone vodafone it that makes sense!
