  • Thanks for TPS link, have registered my phone, am sick of pushy telesales.

    If you do get any from now on make sure you tell them that you're registered with TPS and you'll contact Data Protection people if they contact you again. It's funny how quick they get off the phone then!!!:rotfl:

    Well done for doing your 2 mins in an hour....it will be slow progress but at least you'll still feel like you're doing something. xx

    Spoke to insurance people last night about the claim for our last puddy cat with all the heart problems who sadly didn't make it...and.....they're paying out £400 so that's a relief. Will throw that straight at the credit card that it went on in the first place. Just need to pay my OU course off it now!!! (and a bit more)!!

    Am going to put my feet up for half an hour as I've told DD1 I'll take her to the roller disco later. Would put it off til next week but its far easier going tonight then trying to do it after school run, nursery run, swimming lesson that we usually have to do term time.

    For some reason my MIL who loos after DS on Fridays thinks am working until 5 and won't be bringing DS back until after 6 :p so gonna see what I can get cleared off the list. DD's room is only needing a quick tidy up she has been good at keeping it tidy all week and DS's a quick tidy again, i generally do his room every night before he goes to bed.
