    Good morning all.

    Have decided to go to the match. Bf bought tickets today so have to pay him at some point.

    We are planning to do a bike ride on the Taff Trail from Brecon to Cardiff this Saturday, that's total of 52.35 miles! :eek: What have we gotten ourselves into...

  • HI TMD like the sealed pot thing.

    CMD - I can't understand why he wouldn't be happy to pay for the pushchair anyway! I just don't get it!

    Tirl enjoy the match.

    Hope everyone else is ok. The belly dancing class went ok on Tuesday and my DD had me showing her the moves yesterday. That would have been fun to watch I am sure. I am meeting an agency at lunchtime - so lets hope they can find me work.... Need something!

    Enjoy the match Tirlittan! You deserve a good day out

    Saving H - hope the meeting goes well! My OH is obsessed with prams/buggies. He wants to buy expensive ones, and that is where I have to curtail him!

  • Just paid another £20 off my credit card. Every bit helps and all that! Must get OH to ring about his back tax as he applied for it ages ago and still hasn't heard anything. He went into the JC today and signed off. He is thrilled with himself. He starts his new job on Monday. Don't expect him to get paid until the end of Oct but that pay cheque will come in very handy for our trip to Oz.

    The match is on 29th, so a while yet. But will enjoy it, I like sporty stuff, even watching it, live is obviously better.

    I need some extra dosh to make life easier, but don't really have much spare time to take a second job or anything. Will need to start looking at other jobs that pay better.
