    Okay, Becles, newbie_maz and Beenie we seem to be agreed on Saturday 13th March at The Giant's Den so we just need to agree on a time. 10? Or is that too early?

    That's ok with me but I only live 10 minutes away! Can be later if it would help those travelling further.

    Anyone recommend a good free spreadsheet to forecast when I get money and when bills get paid out?

    Have you seen this website:
    http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/

    It's a new service and they help with all sorts of money issues and they have spreadsheets somewhere on the website to download. They do personal calls in my area and someone will sit down and go through budgeting spreadsheets and stuff with you if you need it and it's all free. I mystery shopped the scheme when it was first set up and had to pretend to be clueless about finances, and they were lovely with me.
    Here I go again on my own....

    (((dodgy hugs for SS))) Have you anything else to drug yourself up on? I find coffee helps, but might be a bit late for coffee.

    Oh and I had a conversation with Amber earlier.

    No :( and I'm hoarding my remaining Lemsip capsules because I have to be dynamically functional on Wednesday.

    Also, :rotfl: go Amber. A pregnant friend was here this afternoon and was horrified to see the claw marks Molly left in my decolletage this afternoon after I fed her away from where I keep the nursing necklace. She seemed dreadfully apprehensive ... and now it's too late muahaahaaa.

    I'm having one of those nights where you question the whole goodness of the idea of having children thing.

    Oh and I had a conversation with Amber earlier.

    Me - Amber, Molly can say Mama, can you say Mama?
    Amber - a-brrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Me - No, Mama, Mama, Ma-ma.
    Amber - Haha! brrrrrrrrrrr
    Me - Mama
    Amber - brrrrrrrrrrrr
    Me - Molly says Mama *humph*
    Amber - *reaches out to touch face all cute like, and, SCRATCH!*

    I only a-brrr from Liam too, and every evening when we have a little cuddle onthe bed with the last bottle I get scratched, pinched and poked inthe face. Must be love, eh?

    I left work today a whole 5 minuets late, not because I was working, because I was reading here and trying to think of a budgeting software for Tia.

    Anyway, got a lovely smile when I walked through the door today, and some not so lovely grabbing of my neck (a cuddle) and eating of my shoulder :) I think Liam had fun at Mums.

    Dora - if your lurking - I see the corner of your building is being re-built again. Let me know if you ever fancy escaping for a coffee and a gossip :)

    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Hi SM :wave:

    It actually wasn't too bad considering there was about 2 months worth of my work waiting for me and no-one bothered to change the VAT on the website so I've had to recalculate the past 2 months worth of invoices :/

    Actually, it was better that I was kept busy, but not too busy to be on facebook and here :P

    Hi Mel - he's 7 months :)
