    Hope everything's ok x

    Becky - Glad your boilers fixed - hope your mum's on the mend.

    Just been to the Dr's for some insurance forms for DH - funny how seeing the long term prognosis (Which we already knew) written down is a bit of a shock. :(

    Morning to the rest of you :wave:

    Morning all! I am another back at work person... also back from the cold fringes of Aberdeen! Although its colder here - bbbbrrrrrr!

    Only got one other task to do today (just volunteered as something to keep me busy) which is so boring it can wait until the afternoon! (plug things in, check they work...) Nothing to do otherwise as the one thing on my actual list I had to do is done, and working perfectly in front of me! Whoop!

    Just hoping my credit card updates with the second payment I put in soon - I want to be 110% sure I have met my target but at the moment it reckons I am 50 quid away from my goal, but doesn't seem to register the 150 I have put in on the 26th... **Crossed fingers**

    Thinking of making cheesecake tonight... Have recipe...
    Sealed Pot No:721 started 05/08/09 until 30/04/09 Target:£100 - £60 Banked!
