    yep hypno you got it right :rotfl::rotfl: ...he spent a wee while on the toilet ...the noises that came from the room were not ones of joy....

    ok what is it with men ...or is it just my man:rolleyes:..the day we were leaving he turns into a man obsessed ..for the full week he is happy to walk along the streets of krakow holding hands and hugging etc ...then on the day we leave he turns into a man on a mission...we had the suitcases and got the tram which was all fine ...then the tram broke down so we had to get off the tram and walk ...he turns into this huge stress ball ..chunters along the road pulling the suitcase walking twice the speed of normal now he has always done this ...he panics incase he is late doesnt want to miss his plane etc ...years ago i used to try to keep up with him but i would land up knackered and stressed like him ...

    so now i take my time i time it so that we are always early (not too early maybe 30-45 mins) he lands up sweating and having to wait for me to catch up then starts with the whole will you hurry up ...i now just look at him and say "no"...

    anyhoo we eventually get to the airport (30 mins early) and he is sweating profusely can barely breathe face all red stressed to the max ...and i sits down beside him and says "you really like to punish yourself dont you" i got a look that could kill in response :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    ahhh men you gotta love em


    as soon as we got back we had so many things to deal with...was told they were "emergency" mil away in for a hip replacement fil stressed about the house ...son having issues with estate agents ..i am so glad i had the weeks break just what i needed....and you know what i didnt deal with any of the "emergency" issues...i dealt with all of my things like college and friends etc

    Good for you.There was nothing that you could do whilst you were away.Other peoples problems are not your problems and is best when they can sort them themselves.Took me a lot of years to learn that.

    Well I have been trying to deal with the finances today but have had to do loads of other things instead ( story of my life ) have got the hospital tonight as well so might not get it done tonight either ... But I did exchange my zlotys I got £141.63 back ( found another 50 zlotys in my bag ... Emergency supply) we also didn't buy anything from the airport as it wasn't much cheaper ... So I am going to put £120 towards the debt and £21 towards work/ college for the rest of the week ( diesel etc)

    Glad you had a good break El and well done on coming back with money:T:T.

    DS's dad is a bit of a Stressed Eric over travelling - he needs to have a proper itinerary so it really winds him up when I say I'm getting a flight back from somewhere and will get a bus or taxi organised on the day:D! I always check how long it takes and give myself tons of time but don't feel the need to have it all documented to the letter. BTW it's DS that he's worried about I think not me. Can't wait till DS gets to student years and wants to travel around europe/asia:eek::D:eek:.... shouldn't laugh poor bloke!

    skinty i am sure you know where i am coming from then lol ...there must be alot of men /women in the world like that

    well i have had such a busy day today approx 6 hours has been taken up by hospital visiting (isnt it amazing how long that takes) 45 mins driving each way 10 minutes walking each way and 1 hour plus (maybe 10-15 mins) visiting each time ...tiring stuff

    i havnt had time or been able to get in touch with the dr's regarding meds for my bites ...they are still incredibly swollen weaping ,bleeding, bruised hot and red ...i havebeen to the chemist though and got some piriton have taken 4 so far but i am still as itchy swollen hot and red etc ...hopefully get it dealt with tomorrow ..mr el hopes i get it seen to fast as he says his fingers no longer exist he has scratched me that much (back etc where i cant reach)

    i finally got in touch with college today i start tomorrow but to be honest i am going to find out exactly what the script is ...this college arnt that great at admin and they have not told me yet what my time table is so i will go tomorrow and find out if it suits me and works with my uni time table etc before i part with any signature

    have been thinking about the debt situation the best that i can come up with just now is pay the money from the remainder from the holiday fund into over draft ...lift the remainder of my money pot for the car insurance etc (will have to then save this back up ...but it gives me some lee way)

    and with the rest that i still have to pay off i will have a sub board ...kinda like the diaries lol ....i will have £25 squares to cross off ...ok this idea isnt what i want at all but it is the best i can think of just now ...my son owes £400 of it and that should not be a kick in the back side off of it all being paid ...but until the last penny is paid i count it as not paid ...

    the ways i plan on paying this off is pad will be doubled one half paid to the debt outstanding the other to the new debt so that both debts are being serviced at the same time ...i am also continuing with lemon trees savings idea and putting that towards a treat ...it will take alot longer to build up but i think i need to have that treat ...now i have to find a way to pay back the car insurance money etc ...it will mean overtime for both hubby and i ...we have spoken about this and will both try and see what we can do

    well have done my scratchies for the day 10p into the pot have transferred my pads to one account ...but i dont know if i am happy with this ...the reality is when i transferred the money over a big red banner came onto the page saying ...this will take you into your overdraft (i am already in it ) but it is within your overdraft limit do you wish to continue ...so yes i transferred the money into pot number one (overdraft to be done for april) the other one is for the overdraft i take the money out of ...i think i will have to rethink this through and decide where to go ...off to college to see what is happening with it catch you later

    Thats a difficult situation, El. Juggling overdrafts doesn't sound nice at all.
