    Morning All

    Still staycationing in the rotten weather, it was absolutely freezing here yesterday and to-day doesn't sound much better, but at least the snow has stopped. Wet snow at this time of year is horrible. We both got paid to-day so I have been up quite early to sort it all into my wee pots and different accounts, anybody tried to change their council tax to the beginning of the month? Am prepared to pay two on the trot so to speak, one on 28th and one on 1st to change it, it would just be better to have it out and paid at the beginning of the month. I think your OH might be on to something Elsie, Minty Elephant here we come!!!

    Sorry to hear that you are still having rotten weather, I saw it on the telly this morning before I went to work and it looked pretty miserable.:(

    My rates come out around the 7th of the month, so I've never altered them, and I still keep them to 10 months......the spare 2 months payments always come in handy for something else.:)

    Just logged onto my account to see if you can set up direct debits, but site crashed, so I'm not sure. I just use it for savings and then when I need some money to pay a bill, I just transfer it back into my current account. Dopey may know better than me. No doubt she will be around at sometime today.

    Ise fed up. The plumbers turned hot water off yesterday afternoon then back on an hour or so later. This evening I opened the airing cupboard door (where hot water stop tap is) to find all my bedding and towels soaking wet because there is now a leak from the stop tap. Phoned builder who phoned plumber who phoned me and asked 'is it much of a leak or can it wait til tomorrow ? :mad::mad::mad: ok ill send someone out. that was more than an hour ago. :(:(:( so need to get this lot all washed and dried and ironed again grrrrrrrrrr. In fairness ,in the grand scheme of things its noe so bad, but its the end of the day and I want to sit down and relax not be washerwoman of the year. Never mind it will be better tomorrow night night everyone:)

    Slap it in the washer and leave it, then sit down and await the plumber, slap him around the head, then sit down again and have a cup of tea, or alternatively a wee glass of something warming, you deserve it

    Leave it until tomorrow.....nothing you can do now. Once the plumber has sorted the leak out I would take PDD's advice , sit and have a cuppa. Tomorrow is another day.

    I usually find a chocolate bar helps get rid of the stress...........:EasterBun
