    Hi BB just read over your dad and would Help the Aged be able to offer anything I'm sure a friend's mum had them come round to the house and just help do little things, there was a wait though. Might be worth looking into if it gives your mum a break even just for an hour

    Thanks Duey, part of the problem is my mum is a control freak and is very proud and doesnt want to have to let someone else help :o I will look into that though, thankyou :D

    Hi BB, sorry to read your dad isn't doing too well, hope your mum will accept help as and when she's ready - hugs.

    Feeling groovy today, as I've opened up a new bank account and a gazillion savings accounts (all with Halif*x, I'm not too fussed about the interest rates, just being able to see everything in one place and move moolah around easily). I also paid a bit more off my mortgage whilst I was there :)

    I've now got some woman emailing me via eb*y about flipping measurements for most of my clothes on there - can she now just get that if it's a M&S size 24 skirt it'll be X inches on the waist etc?!? Now i have to find the clothes again, get the tape measure out....*sigh* (I'm soooo lazy!)

    Afernoon everyone :D Today we've been into Bournemouth, I did 3 mystery shops there and have one more to do tonight lcoally. I got my Nans birthday present and we're off to deliver that in a minute. I also posted an ebay parcel and had ds feet measured and they haven't grown so he will go back in his old shoes, I bought them at Easter so they're not that old really. We might nip down the beach for a couple of hours once we've been to my Nans. Have a good afternoon everyone :D

    Yup, I've got another question from someone else about length - for flip's sake, it's a 99p item.......I'm just grumpy, lol.

    That's a huge lot of mystery shops, enjoy the sunshine :):)

    I did the other mystery shop tonight, and when I submitted them I found I'd forgotten (again :rolleyes:) to take the photo of the store :mad: and also to see what was on either side of the store. Luckily I can remember what was on one side but have no idea what was the other side :mad: I have found a phone number for the centre and will call them in the morning but really dont fancy trekking back tomorrow just to check :rolleyes:

    I popped round to mums for a bit too, dad was very depressed tonight, had a really horrible conversation with him about how he feels a burden, would be better for everyone if he wasnt here anymore etc etc, truly horrible :o:o

    could you look on the new google street map thingy - you know, the one where special cars have been driving round taking piccies with a 360degree camera?

    If you find the road name or postcode, it would be dead easy to see online what is next door.....
