    Cosmomo you will be pleased to know we filled out the form :jthanks for giving me the kick i needed to get it done otherwise it'll still be on my list next month.

    My pleasure! I got a letter this morning telling me I'll be £50 per month better off for filling in my forms last week - shame I didn't do that 3 years ago when OH had his mid-life crisis and chucked in his 40k job to work in a warehouse for 13k...just as I discovered I was pregnant with DS2:eek:....But still better late than never:o

  • I'll join you - but I'm trying to do some paperwork. I'm going to stick my head down for an hour and see how I go. I have coffee to hand and I've just turned up the heating because it's f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g in here, and I can't concentrate!

    Rosepink - Sounds as if you are doing a great job there. Slowly but surely it will get done – don’t overdo it
    MrsMH – Best thing I did was having my oven cleaned professionally just before Xmas and now I just clean it out quickly each time it is used – so much easier

    Back from Orhto and having lunch.

    I needed petrol - it's gone up again and was £1.11.9 - is it that much where you lot are - for standard unleaded?

    just wading my way through pages of posts (turn your back for a day and there are pages and pages and pages of posts!!![not complaining coz I love reading them!])and saw this - don't know if any one responded but try registering (free) with http://www.petrolprices.com/ to get petrol prices in your area. Also great for finding out petrol stns when traveling.
