OberonSH's DFW Diary Thread - 1 Woman, 1 Toddler & A Whole Lotta Debt!

OberonSH

Hey All,

Sarellie - send me your emaill addy and I'll send the Fran Plan over. It rocks.

Haven't been on as much as I'd like, been putting the final touches to my food export website - nearly done!!! You have no idea how homicidal working out postal prices for a can of beans has made me.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts, Mrs T - list list and list. As far as I'm conerned, anything in the attic that isn't a Christmas tree, a suitcase or the kids baby shoes needs to be on Ebay. It doesn't pay rent, so send it on it's way.

LOL@ Mudbath & Olive - I put on a dress the other day, and DH kindly pointed out that whilst I look lovely, very 1940 glam housewife, I had forgotten to do my legs and the image was ruined by my hairy pins poking out from under my Jane Norman summer dress. Thanks.....

Not much to report really, my life has revolved around my website for the past few weeks. Had a letter from Tax credits, apparently there's ANOTHER overpayment of £1408, so arranged to pay that back £10 a week. Busted this month's tenner a day WIDE open (currently £325, and that's not counting savings n the budget, daily clicks or points, as I need the motivation to put the junk on Ebay). So DH has realised that this month's money goes to the Florida Holiday we'd like to take in 2010 (then the next month goes on debt, etc etc etc) he's on board, and putting his pennies int he Pig like there's no tomorrow.

So I must crack on, currently trying to work out why I can't access the control panel on my site, and what on earth makes my site pop up a box saying 'Schlurm in Port 0 causing runtime error, please reboot world and insert bugnet now'. I wonder why programmers can't make them user-friendly - 'Stop mashing the buttons you fool, I'm having a think about it' or 'I'm not doing that because your 3 year old has stuffed her toast into my CD drive. Again'.

So send happy thoughts my way, I shall need them.
Todays tip is to take out the drawer of your washing machine and give it a rinse. It's amazing how much dried up conditioner and caked on washing powder there is. Clean machine = clean clothes.

Better tip for washing machine drawer: Stick it in the top part of your dishwasher next time you whack it on
Assuming you have a dishwasher
I see you have cracked the control panel omph stuff... the error messages make perfect sense to you
If it's any consolation it's never made much sense to me either

Just PM'd you Obi. Thanks again.

OberonSH

NP, just hope it helps - and don't forget to send happy thoughts to Fran, the inventor of the Fran Plan (tm).

Naughty me, have spent the arvo on here now, and not tweaking the site. Grrr. Damn you all and your addictive site, Mr Lewis!

MrsTinks

LOL good... she forgot that it was me telling her to come have a look - phew!

OberonSH

Didn't forget - just biding my time..........mwhahaha

Sarellie8

LOL - You two crack me up laughing.

All happy thoughts going to Fran.

Will catch up after the weekend. No internet at home boo hoo.

Hope you all have a lovely cheap weekend x

Love the thread and sending you happy thoughts as requested

Hi Obi good to see that you are plowing ahead with things. Is the overpayment for tax credits for real or just ANOTHER blip? Ie is it worth appealing? We made it to NZ and now have house, car, internet and job for OH sorted. Now just have to start doing the residency paperwork for me. Sigh. Right must get on. Have a good weekend
