gratefulforhelp sorry to hear you have been poorly, hope you are feeling better soon x
carlberggal yes if she has less than 15 weeks to go or less I remember that from when my sister was expecting & job hunting http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/work/tellingemployer/ she won't need loads of scans etc so I wouldn't woorry too much about it

Oh dear, not even touched the surface today. Feel really tired & about all I have managed is 3 loads of laundry (one left to go in TD), dishwasher load (should be done soon) and made meals (apart from kids tea). I've also made a start on the next years finances, I need it finished so I can work out what I have for Xmas spends as we have no savings left this years trickier than it has been for a while. See that's all I have done & I am sat here yawning

I have however managed to wriggle out (so far) from going to DPs club tomorrow, DS2 doesn't want to race so we are going to stay here and do his room. Best go finish kids tea, will try to pop back later x

Margaret - You should be proud of yourself, you've done a far sight more than me - well done.

PenPen Can't beleive you are involved in 'laundered' money :eek:

Mudders and Anw'sMum have a lovely time tonight

Hex - mine are never great tempered when the weather is bad. Good luck with DS2

Go Jedward, Go Jedward

Sorry couldn't resist.

My green house has been wonderful all summer grown loads in it, still have peppers growing.

I have some large sheets of plastic up at the office tomorrow I am going to wrap the green house up in it and gaffer tape it all round and over it, if that makes sense to keep it safe over the winter, I love my greenhouse, pathic as it may seem, and I want it to be safe.

Oooh, A'n'W's mum - I'd forgotten that you worked in a bank :j Can you answer a Q for me, please I'm treasurer of my W's football team. Today DH was given a cheque that had been through the wash :rolleyes: What's my chance of the bank accepting it

TIA :A Penny. x

A while ago I had a cheque in the post (for over £100) I'd opened it, put it back in the envelope to sort out a bit later and left it with some other post. My lovely DH decided to throw the post thinking it was all junk and had thought I'd put the cheque somewhere else.

A few hours later I was in a mad panic looking for the cheque! There sitting in the bin was the envelope ripped up... with the cheque inside:eek:

I had to explain to the bank what had happened (all DH's fault of course;)) and luckily they accepted the cheque (stuck together with tape:rotfl:) I did have to write a note with it though.


It doesn't look like I'll be getting my fifth star this week

But I have been busy doing bits and bobs (did put boobs but luckily I realised before I submitted post:o:eek::rotfl:)

Hugs if you need them and I hope to see you all in next week's thread:D

Triker

For those of you with loads of change to ....erm, change then if anyone you know has a HSBC account then they have branches with Coinstar style change machines and the money is converted stright into your account and there is no charge or percentage taken.;):D

DD1 has an account with them so I use her card and then withdraw the money afterwards.

I'm impressed... it's obviously been a day for getting the little irritating things sorted. And I'm glad you've been to the market rather than the supermarket

LOL at that - when I lived closer to town (and had a buggy to sling things on and no car) I did, in effect, use the market as my local shop!
Even after we moved here I used to use the market and schlep it all home on the bus with two small kids - DS made the entire bus GASP with horror when he threw a bag onto the bus once - after they all heard me say 'there are EGGS in that bag' (none broke!). So I am going to use the market again for fruit and veg, it's cheaper and they are better quality and the eggs are local. Only thing is I no longer need to go into town on a Saturday morning as DD has changed dancing school so I shall plan my trips carefully...
I have also remembered that, every year I promise we'll have an advent candle. Well we will this year because I have remembered to buy one:T
Next thing is to investigate butchers...


Oh and you'll all be VERY proud of me. I have had to use the TD today so I made sure I hit the shed before it stoppped and a bit of judicious folding means I DON'T NEED TO IRON DS'S SCHOOL TROUSERS. I have, of course, ironed the sheets and pillowcases. I do like them smooth. And the shirts...

Macpep you've done well!
