Morning all
I went to see the damned united last night and slept all the way through it...:rotfl:
Wonder if Bookie is having a good time (or has even got to Atlanta yet!)
I miss Sally
Hope you are okay Sal
SRM - I am with the A&L and have the same problem, well I don't have my card cloned but if one of us loses our card they cancel both cards and other half ends up with no access to money and he works away. We have done what Z suggested, we have a basic account with halifax that we keep money in (or can easily transfer money to) then at least he can get access to money.
Have a nice weekend everyone today - I am helping DD move out...:eek:
which reminds me - Toto - hope you are okay too, you have been quiet...

Morning
(((Hugs))) to anyone who needs them (lurkers included)
I cannot believe that I have a cold this morning, every bloody holiday it happens:mad: I was still thinking of work last night before I went to sleep it will probably take me about 4 days to re-adjust.
Not much planned for today, might go for a walk with OH if the rain keeps off and food shopping at Asda........
Living life to the Max here:DBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

Went to see Harry Potter last night and it was great, really enjoyed it (but then, I'm easily pleased, lol)
Welcome Lou and Buffy to the holidays, lucky you, wish I was off for 5 weeks!!
Today, I will be tidying the house in preparation for Jo's arrival and getting a birthday present for SIL (boo) and for a birthday party the kids are going to tomorrow.
Weather pretty pants here.
I am having crisps for breakfast.Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -

Morning
Im ok Sammy...only a grey cloud hovering now, which I can cope with!Hope the move goes ok Sammy..sure you will have a few tears later. I have a few bits for the baby here, does she need a sling, carrier at all?
Bunny, I want to go and see HP but I need to catch up on the other films first!
Buffy, relax and enjoy your time off, well deserved and just think 6-7 weeks on SW over the summer and you could go back a new woman
At work all day today boo hiss...needs must as I got my adjusted CTC/WTC yesterday, increase to a whole £80 every 4 weeks...I don't think its right I mean how can a family realistically live on £63.40 (job seekers) +£20 a week to pay all bills and buy food etc hey ho, bread and water!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Thanks Lou,
I am looking forward to spending time just nattering-Jo and I tend to have silly random giggly talks about not much mixed with deep and meaningful interludes. We have the same kind of surreal humour and laugh about daft things, lol.
Sally, glad things are lifting a bit 'cloud' wise and I wish I could help with b ills etc. However,l I seem to have got myself in a pickle this month from my trip to Canada-will have to eBay my body and kids to pay back phone bill and 'other things' hee hee. (Not good)
Ellie, great to see you gorgeous lady.
Not sure how the race will go tomorrow, I havent trained nearly enough but back into it next week-I want to do a half marathon soon...Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0
