    £900 is very expensive
  • Well thats inc VAT and he also does VAT return and employee return and anything to do with Inland Revenue (which isn't alot) - does that make it reasonable or am I being ripped off?

  • Hi guys..................baddie reddie for not posting.

    Good news - lost 2lb at WW - thats 13.5lb so should pass the stone next week :)
    More good news - my sister got some extra pennies from old job and called me yesterday to say she is buying me an outfit for our brothers' 40th on Saturday (she said that when she was 14 (she is now 36) she was in a bad mood and I took her to town for a spending spree and cheered her up so she is returning the favour because I am debt busting and dieting LOL)

    Not so good news - spent all weekend 'reconciling chq book for business for the last year. Won't be such a big job this year as the new accounting system has been kept up to date.

    Pennies - DH still not paid his cc! I am not 'mothering' him but am very aware I will have to 'find' the money! Everything else paid to date! MBNA wrote back re my reclaim of charges saying 'nah' and I replied saying 'ya think'...........so we'll see.

    Another mad week at work - working to 10pm Tues and Wed - will be toast by the end of it.

    BUT I will post more, sorries! (I am reading more though)

    Ooh, well done on the weight loss, Reddie! *Hands over slice of birthday cake to counteract the effect of WW*

    As for the rest: yay to your sister, gah to hubbie and late working, and well done on wading through the bookwork. :A

    Keep on keeping on! :T
