Good morning everyone.:hello:

It's stopped raining..:j...at long last, but I think they said it may be back by this afternoon.!! Where's summer gone.!!:(

Nothing planned for this weekend, just chilling out, as well as doing the usual washing, ironing etc. OH has got the dreaded, cough, sore throat lurgy thing that seems to be going around. He is sooooooooo ill. !:whistle::whistle::whistle:

Son has appointment with the Oncologist next week, so things are moving. He had CT Scan yesterday, so we will know what treatment he is going to have next. He seems to think it will be the Chemo from what the Doc's have said. But he feels fine at the moment, so its all good.

Have a good day ladies and gents (although he's gone AWOL at the moment). I'll be popping in during the day.:D

PDD, are you having a good or bad day today, just so I know which outfit you will be wearing today.

Morning Elsie

How are you? Good news about son, told you he'd be fine. Been up since the crack of dawn, due to noisy neighbours so feeling a little evil this morning, how can people be so inconsiderate???

Calmness, it is quite sunny here and not cold so hopefully will get out on the deck later, if the noise abates..................

see you all later


PS Elsie I'm looking more like a scary monster this morning with bad temper!!!!

Good morning all, good news eh? Elsie, that he is feeling well now.:T
Poor PDD noisy neighbours are the pits,:mad: bash 'em with the pole,:rotfl: doll, that'll teach 'em.
We have sunshine too and no real plans just as it comes hopefully get oh out in his wheelchair to boost his vitamin D

Trust me if I had the pole, bashing there would be, I like/need my sleep and it makes a very grumpy Dopey if I don't get it!!!!

Hi everyone,
Good news about your son Elsie:)

Someone up there must be on my side at the mo as BofS (another bane of my life) have sent statement and interest is 0 with no late payment charges either :j.
Now seems to be only HSBC who are still playing silly !!!!!!s and charging more interest than DMP payment. Still I live in hope.:rotfl:
Still finding it really hard to have anything left over at end of month for emergency fund. Had to raid pots again. Must try harder.
Hugs to everyone:beer:.

Good morning everyone:hello:
Just checking in before I go to work. I seem to get time to lurk but not to join in these days. Time seemed to get away from me yesterday (it was my day off but I needed to shop, take OHs suit to the cleaners, get on with jobs etc) I now work long shifts (well long for me) until Thurs so what didn't get done will have to wait.
Its strange though how sport makes me fall asleep. OH was watching one of the world cup matches :footie: yesterday afternoon and the next thing it was an hour later (I did manage to stay awake for the England match though):j
I'm glad your son is feeling well Elsie:)
Keep well everyone and have a good Sunday
Oh I better go and get ready

Thanks dmb.

Well done on the BofS, it certainly helps when you know that you are paying the debt and its going down, instead of just paying the interest, 'cos then you just arn't getting anywhere. I got better at having a little bit spare after about 6 months, but then it seemed that something you just hadn't budgeted for crept up and bit me in the bum.!!:mad: Then I think when it came to our yearly review, we were 'economical' with the truth and only declared part of any rise increases in salary;), not much mind, but just a few pounds extra just gave us that breathing space. And then to top it all, when we were paying over the minimum payments the creditors started adding interest again.!!:mad: so that didn't really help.
