    Was that charges refunded, or charges plus interest?
    That would have been real hardball.

    Well done Mr & Mrs B.

    hello Bob,

    sounds like stuff is getting sorted.......even Mr B!

    I have to add my appreciation for MBNA...they are one of my biggest creditors but ( as I have been totally honest with them) have treated me well and agreed to int free until repaid very quickly.

    Vera has now been re-trimmed in nice gold coloured material over proper furnishing-grade foams. Soooo comfy! She is now almost ready for our friends Daughters' Wedding next week..........pictures will be posted.

    Nope he has a blissful ignorance is bliss combined with a lethal innocent air about him. He may alternate it with a "Who me look:confused:" Or the "please sort it out for me, as i will ignore it for at least two years otherwise look":o:o

    But as you point out Pepe, he was on the edge....with a sharp, pointy toe behind him:o

    I do come on here for a male perspective at times, then i can truely balance my arguments with him...just haven't managed to do it yet.

    He is immune to feminine ways ( tennis and cricket are on)
    He usually responds to footy and beer...but can't bring myself to stoop that low.:cool:

    Any other advice gratefully welcome.:D

    He has a tactic that he usually tries and put on a little boy lost look, or you know i am crap at this kind of stuff...argument. Have tried most things and have decided to give in gracefully and get on with it...albiet with a copious amount of whining ....you would not recognise me otherwise.:rotfl:One day, when i am debt free :D

    Aww sorry about BBQ, always the way with british summers.

    Has just gone nice and cool for a bit and smells all fresh after the little bout of rain.

    Have to run DS back up to Windemere tomorrow night after work..so will be an extremely k'od Bob tomorrow night.

    Had Walking day today as well around the local parish, don't know whether any one else has the Wakes walks?

    Came out of my parents tonight in the rain and their lavender smelt fab! might get some as it must be easy to grow as my dad just throws things in and if they live "they were meant to be".:D
