Now, let's all hope the Supreme Count gives us our pressie a month early. Fingers crossed!

So, besides waiting for the news, what's everyone up to today?

  • Morning Kayleigh - you're on here early.

    Today I have promised to take parents to Christmas display at garden centre. Cheap outing as no money and might get treated to lunch.
    Home group tonight. :D
    Hopefully fit in some ironing.

    Bank haven't paid mortgage interest and charged me £25 for bouncing it. 1 month of my insurance has hit the bank but I think I am due 3 if not 4. :confused: Guess I need to make a few phone calls before I go out.

    Morning all

    Bookie - At least some money has come through....moving in the right direction at least.

    Hubby had a really bad night so feeling very zombie like this morning, loads to do as my parents are coming later. Got to get DH to Dr's too, he's on the edge of something deep and dark...need to get that sorted quick.

    DD1's birthday this weekend so need to think about wrapping some pressies for her, can't believe she's going to be 14, where's that gone?

    Hi Becks.....thanks for that....will pm you my address later.

    Bob the builder is here putting the finishing touches touches to my kitchen, ie the glittery tiles...woop woop....the ones my OH doesn't want..:rotfl: tough, he should be here to stop me really shouldn't he...

    Apart from that I shall just be working.

    :grouphug: Bookie, hopefully the court will rule in our favour and you might then get your bank charges back.

    If the court doesn't rule in our favour you could always make an interim claim under the hardship rules for your charges back. It might be an idea to cancel your DD's so you don't keep getting charged.

  • Good morning everyone,
    Pooky hope you get hubby sorted

    Notty have a restful day

    Bookie/Ghost I'm also waiting for the decision!

    My frozen shoulder is particularly painful today, :( Used nearly half a can of Deep Heat on it already, running tonight will help to loosen it up :T

    I have a lot to do today! namely:
    tidy and hoover living room, kitchen, dining room and stairs
    empty & re-load dishwasher
    do 3 loads of washing and ironing :mad:
    tidy son's [STRIKE]pigsty[/STRIKE] bedroom
    clean out the hamster
    re-fill the bird feeders
    re-arrange the loft insulation appointment
    clean the bathroom

    I'm sure there's more :rolleyes:

    but first........ coffee!

    Have a great day everyone :j

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Morning All!

    Fingers crossed too Kayleigh. I have to say I haven't written any letters yet, which is quite bad of me, but I think I might get a template ready and when the announcement is made, which of course we hope will be a good one, I can send it off!

    Fingers crossed phonecall wise Bookie - enjoy the Xmas display!

    Have a good day Pooky and hope you feel better soon Notty.

    Well done coat wise Becky, shame train ticket wise!

    Morning Squizz!

    Hi sammy - glad to hear the tiles are your choice!

    Morning Linda - fingers crossed the shoulder loosens up and that you fly through your list!

    Have a good day all! Bess xx
