    Not much flying in the house, but am giving myself a headache trying to sort out finances!!!!!! Don't you just wish we could go back to good old fashon cash.

    Welcome to my world, I've been updating all afternoon!! I have the headache too and :mad::mad::mad:. I need to change my name on my credit card so followed the instructions on the back of the statement by telephoning etc, jumped through all the flaming security hoops and entered all the passwords etc to be tols you need to write in :mad::mad::mad::mad: !!!!!! why does it just not say that on the back of the statement would have been so much easier than trying to remember all the security details.

    Sorry needed to rant, better go start tea as I should have put the slow cooker on this morning and didnt so it will need a bit of a slow cook on the hob instead.

    Hi all
    Hope everyone's had a reasonable day? Hugs for all who need or want one...

    Well, I haven't managed to do very much over the past 48 hours or so - people keep wanting to see me...It's nice to be popular, but it doesn't really get the beds made!

    DD's been off school again - temperature of 103.8 F this morning...but come 9.30 she'd rallied well (and is still looking OK-ish now).

    Never mind...here's what I did yesterday and today:

    Tuesday - living area, hall and stairs

    FFP that is good news!
    Mudbath my DPs phone has been broken this week with the same issue, no photos/numbers backed up. I've had the same when PCs gone off.
    LadyL toots is right, think of it as a tool to improve your independance
    carlsberggal good luck with XH
    Diva, have you thought of asking their Mum to pick something up then you can pass on the money? We found out this is what my DPs step Mum's family do with our boys as it also saves on postage they just send gift tags with their cards to them & vice versa.
    embb you sound ran ragged at the mo ((hugs)) what about an online shop? Tempted myself this week.
    toots Chameleons are usually seasonal breeders for specialist breeds, Yemen you can get most of the year which are green but I really fancy a panther or similar which come in blues, reds etc & tend to have better characters, so we need the tanks ready by about February. Oh & the garage is a godsend! What colour carpet did you pick?

    Had a nice day, therapy session inc a little acupuncture & a head massage. Never had either done that way & quite enjoyed it. Felt lovely and relaxed even if it was just for a little while. I've had to cancel a meeting tomorrow, it's about 30 miles away & my arms just too sore to drive that far. It's not like me to cancel so they know it must be bad. I do also want to be on hand incase DS1 has any issues at school, first morning in the mainstream primary tomorrow, I'm pleased & nervous all at the same time!

    Going to make some food, do some more in kitchen while I am there, back later x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
