    Talented weezl strikes again :)

    Lovely pictures Bailey!

    Glam, next time send him to get his own medicine.

    MM, how horrible! I don't know what to tll you so *hugs*

    Husband's up again and is blaming an egg he ate knowing the shell was cracked. My sympathy has dried up.

    Cleaner's confirmed, various guests' travel arrangements are all confirmed, kitchen's reasonably clean, various stuff's put away. But it was all mayhem for a while. The repair guy left the front door open while he was working and after I realised and closed it I realised I hadn't seen the cat in ages. Cue much frenzied hunting and after about twenty minutes he was found snoozing in a suitcase.

  • Bruno, even when i show jack the pics on the tV, he say "i'm a space rocket"!!! Although the box wasn't just a space rocket, Jack was also "a tunnel". Who needs expensive toys!!! Molly sleeping is just adorable. I don't even bother trying to choose, i just can't.

    OK girls, I need to cry :(

    Awwwwww MM that's truly awful :(
    Don't panic. The fact that they are withdrawing the legal action and sending out new forms, means you can start "from scratch" and I am sure you will be able to therefore sort out very slow within-your-means routes of payment, etc. Bad luck :(

    Bruno, that is a much calmer and diplomatic way of saying things, thanks. i'm not always very articulate.

    Even less so as i'm about to go and get myself a vodka and orange. Yum yum.

    Quite random but its bin day tomorrow so just stuck so rubbish out for front door for DH to deal with when he gets home and i got a waft of bonfire (or confire as jack would say) smoke, i took several more breaths and wandered back to my laptop thinking of Nov 5.

    Not long guys......

    I was talking to her the other day, and turns out I'd never mentioned liking babies or wanting to be a Mum. They all assumed that as we'd been married almost 4 years with no babies, that we didn't want them!
    When my mum told her parents she was 1st pg she'd been married 4yrs (she was 24yo) they said "oh we though you were just going to have dogs":confused::rotfl:

    DH says it'd be a mistake as our road is popular with 'ladies of the night' and an unsuspecting passer-by may make a tragic error :o:D

    (sorry BTW if you really like them :o)

    Awwww caz, sorry you didn't get a good reception, I think you're a legend :)
    :rotfl: btw if you didn't get but still want, the red leggings are in the next sale I think they're £4 :)
    I've just ordered 18 items, came to just under £150 :eek:(I won't be keeping it all!!)
    Well i can't keep up this pace either, so i'm just skimming through.
    sniiiiip
    But wait one, i now need a wee....
    :rotfl: finished? :)
    MrsT said she thought the close age gap was a bad idea (I'm paraphrasing) upset a few people with how she worded it and hasn't posted since said people let her know they were upset by it

    OH MM, it's rubbish when they screw you over. INLAND REVENUE SUCK!

    You've probably all heard me moan about this before but I F****** HATE TAX CREDITS!!

    When I moved into my flat, I phoned up tax credits to change my address and say OH lived with me, all fine I thought, I still got the million of forms through the door and I didn't think anything of it that it only had my name on it, because I thought because it was going into my bank, that's how it worked, like when child benefit forms came for Keira, it had my name on. I was only 18 at the time so pretty clueless about the whole thing anyways!!

    Roll on when OH gets a job, I phone them up to TELL THEM, and they tell me I delibrately defrauded them. OMG!!! If that was my flippin' purpose I don't think I'd of rung them up and said HEY MY BF THAT YOU SUPPOSEDLY DONT KNOW ABOUT IS NOW WORKING!!

    They made me pay back the WHOLE YEARS CLAIM, and the daft thing is, if they hadn't messed up or I had been more knowledgeable about it all, I'd off been getting more money as a joint claim - me = clueless. I had to pay back £2600....

    Still gripes me to this day....

    WASNT MY FAULT!! Oh yeah and they MYSTERIOUSLY had no record of the phone call I made to say Id moved etc. THEY RECORD EVERY SINGLE CALL THE LOUSY LYING CHEATING THIEVING $£%£$%$%^$%
  • 'oh MM, don't panic, if you have proof of responding surely it will be ok. you've been in contact with them so its not as iff your trying to deceive them. Can you get someone else in a calmer state to talk to them explain the situ. I bet they can tell who is trying to pull the wool and who isn't. Every problem is solveable, just takes time and a hell of a lot of patience, esp if your dealing with a diff person each time. HUGS

    Thing is they are refusing to send me a copy of the original letter. I knew I had been overpaid that year as I got a very good bonus that I wasnt expecting, so my income jumped up quite a bit more than I thought it was going to be, but when I disputed it the 1st time, they sent out a different amount, so I thought it was sorted !!
    I am just so mad that they can not send you anything for nearly 3 years and then phone you out of the blue and say they are taking you to court !!
    *and breathe*:o

    Anyway, angela, the sitting was £30 which included 1 photo, and then the extra photos were £75 each. Should have been £60 for the sitting, but I got an offer for half price and mum and dad bought the 2 extra photos for me, I only paid the £30 :D Nice mummy and daddy (sometimes :rolleyes::rotfl:)
    The two best things I have done with my life
