    Afternoon peeps,
    Took the glass back to the arms last night, Im in a better frame of mind today, postie came at 4pm yesterday with all my letters to creditors so i got cracking on it and posted them all a cheque for the amount payplan told me to, see what happens now, DBTB gets paid today, wondering if his card will work today, or if hes sat on it and broke it in half or the bank have stopped it, or work have cocked his wages up, or he got caught in a snowstorm on the way to work and lost his wages, wait and see what excuse we get tonight:mad:

    ATOS medical - the one the benefit people make you have before trying to force you back into work. She asked me what id do if i was told to go back into work and i broke down crying and told her as much of the truth as I could.

    Now got to phone DCA's....it's my day of the week for sorting my mail :/

    Just a quick pop in...forgot to unset my alarm from yesterday so was woken up at 5am!!! Sat and watched the boys in striped pj's....sobbed me heart out....kind of...

    Then got up and have been to fetch Chloe's present 'the snow queen palace'. It was expensive £65 from ELC but it is made of good stuff and its kinda like a dolls house (Chloe does not shut up about Bookies...:rotfl:) you get all kinds of fairies and stuff to put inside it.....she did ask for a castle so hope she likes it.

    DD2 wants to make a chocolate cake for her boyfriend who has been away all week so had to go and get stuff for that. Am sick of not having proper food in the house so got stuff to make coq au vin....or chicken coq au vin according to DD1....:rotfl:

    Bookie (and pap) love the birthday wishes.....and thanks everyone who has txted and messaged me on facebook...Chloe is going to be so chuffed when she gets home from the childminders....

  • My foolproof cooking attitude is to ignore words that don't appear on my packaging... so you need [STRIKE]muscovado[/STRIKE] sugar and [STRIKE]all purpose[/STRIKE] flour :D

    Seriously though- brown sugar will do for muscovado and bogstandard self raising for all purpose
