    Ooooh, people! ;)

    I'm fine thanks. Just rang about the balance transfer to current account. Seems all ok so will go ahead with it. I'm certainly not loosing anything, and there's a possibility of gain so it's all good. And the advantage is obviously that I can overpay as much as I like. :)

    How are you two?

  • I'm good. On my way home. Haven't seen my OH in a week and he has band practice tonight so will see him for about 1/2 an hour!

    Is the interview on Fri Starnac? You all set?

    Tirlittan - all is sounding good about the balance transfer :)

  • Good luck starnac

    Tirl - balance transfer sounds good - even if it just saves a little off your dfd that has got to be good

    Hi everyone else - my sister has hurt herself so been spending quite a lot of time over at hers. Shock horror I've also been doing some of my long neglected housework!

    Monday's interview for the job that is too far away went well ! Typical! I've said I am only interested if they do something about the hours or let me work from home Friday as I think otherwise I will be completely wiped all the time! Waiting to hear back! Not sure what to wish for as still not convinced it is the ideal place for me but completely fed up with being out of work. It would give me 10 months work roughly at an okay rate of pay...

    Just back from the scan. It went really well and the 2 sonographers were so nice. The baby is measuring normal for everything (so proud of him/her).The baby was curled up in a ball at the beginning and then went hyper and was kicking and moving it's arms around.

    I have to go back and be re-scanned at 35 weeks as my placenta is quite near the cervix so if it covers it I will need a c-section. The chances are it will have moved though so I am not worrying at all.

    Can't check the scan. Council's computer doesn't like "media sharing".

    Hope all goes well.
