    A quick hello and dodgy hugs all round :grouphug:then back to fight the bedtime battle round 2......the little one's got to give in and sleep and eat sometime soon surely:eek:
    Went to the a shop today, with a bleeping trolley...... she was all but throwing the stuff on the floor while I was still unpacking onto the belt thing.There wasn't a massive queue infront of me, disaster!

    Nataz -:rotfl:rocky trolley of debt:rotfl:
    Not a one of them ate the other a shops own brand of cereal hoops! One just left them in disgust, the other said urghhh these aren't the real ones and the youngest spat them on the floor!

    Hope the quiet day means everyone's doing well!

    Great news Happy and Jeddy!

    Right time for me to run off back upstairs, little ds has issued his battle cry.

    Well done Jeddy - to me it was a relief when it all finally started.

    Cheers NB!

    It was so nice to see my account this morning and see it in credit and not into my overdraft like my old account!

    Now the long wait to see what my creditors say - was told that HSBC can take at least 6 weeks before any kind of reply!

    God aren't Wednesday's pants, especially when they are the day before payday!! I'm feeling a bit poo because although I've been really careful with the budget and kept a pretty accurate spending diary but we still have no money left :( oh well, try harder next month I guess.

    :grouphug: dodgy hugs peeps xx

    Its up and down, I was really good at the budgeting first month but march was a bit of a disaster, it was so looooong and we had the car bill and the vet bill and mother's day and a couple of birthdays. The money is in to-day, its lovely and I've been up from quite early to get it all sorted into me wee pots, so that I know whats left, will do better this month and its not nearly so loooong. Good for your Happy and Nonny, BofS were orrible on the phone and then ceased all interest after they said they wouldn't so maybe the guy I got was in a bad mood!!!

    Still on staycation, so we are going out for a budgeted lunch at la Tasca (half price voucher), and perhaps a wee aperatif, so I may be back later or I may be snoring on the sofa!!!!

    Thanks PDD, will have a trawl through the receipts and see if I can spot the black hole!

    Are you in the snowy bit or the non snowy bit of Scotland?
