Don't say sorry! What have you got to be sorry for? I'm with Verbatim on this.

thankyou for all the messages :T
He rang me at work. :rolleyes:
He asked how 'Little Miss Grumpy' was......:rolleyes:
I explained Iwasn't grumpy. He asked twice - 'are you ok now'.....Ithink he got the message.......I felt I had the upper hand. I didn't apologise and was just 'normal' about it. Can't see him changing though, but watch this space. Think it gave him a little 'jolt'.
My quidco money has already gone to my account!! Blimey - so much quicker than greasypalm!! I need to sit over the weekend and go through all the 'register with us and we give you 50p' sites.
ZTD........you've hit the nail on the head........;)
Well, as he is out tonight, I was wondering what to do myself. I was going to go out and have a pint of cider or 4, but i've decided to stay in and make home made pizza. I treated myself to some '3 for £10' wine from ASDA as part of the shopping and one of them is pink and fizzy.
I'll have an evening on AQA, pizza and pink fizzy stuff. Better make sure I log off AQA though before the vino takes hold - goodness knows what answers I would give!!!! :eek:

Oh Minxy,
I completely concur with the sentiments of the rest of the lot!
Yes please! A debt-sister, I like the sound of that.
I've had a fairly bizarre day-I've had to cancel 2 of the children I look after as my son is very poorly sick-he's 17 months and can't even keep water down, that's £50 down the drain as I don't charge when I've had to cancel them...Then I find out that one of the parents of the child I mind is looking around for another minder! They have messed me about something chronic and at the risk of cutting my nose off to spite my face, I feel like telling them to take a flying leap! Then, between bouts of puke, I've managed to secure my first mystery shopping jobs! Yahoo! at least 4 for the various councils around my area at £10-£15 each, plus petrol. That should amke up for the money lost this week with my sick children.
So, sister, Hopefully I'll catch up later,
Bunny (yes, I am a GIRL! actually, I'ma LAYYYDDDEEEE!)

I have read your entire thread over the last two days. Its been truly inspirational and I am sure has been a real boost to so many newbies online. Now that you have given your OH a rattle I can write and say
"Good for you, girl!"
You should invite a friend over for a future date for a home-made pizza - get them to bring a bottle along. Someone that will return the gesture another time so you are guaranteed another night.
You need to give yourself a night off once in a while and give yourself a confidence booster so you will see that you are really worth a lot more than this "e-hem-"man has to offer.
Don't let him turn up post-pub scrounging breakfast either this weekend!!!
Enjoy your pink fizzz!!!!_party_
AngeThanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!

ooh, Ange.......I'm blushing........
I've done £21.60 so far tonight with AQA so I'm going to open the pink fizzy £3 a bottle stuff. It's flippin' freezing and I've given in and put the heating on.
I'm going to do another £10 on AQA, then do the pizza. The dough and sauce are made and I've got pepperoni and mozzarella to top it.
Went to Asda to get the mozarella and they have loads of pumpkins for 20p each. I'll do a load of soup tomorrow and freeze it for lunches. Should make loads.
Ooooh, my nose is cold.....0
