    That is great Claire - bit different from earlier this year!




    yes much better! we were averaging £15-£20 a week with eon :eek: some weeks more, in jan we were putting about £30 + a week in

    and they told me after the 8th of april i can request the meters be taken out because i will have been with them 28 days on both meters then :)

    seems to be coming along nice here at the moment no 3 steps forward and 2 back if you know what i mean :)

    my roof is fixed yes it cost £93 but the difference this morning in the bathroom and kitchen was amazing, it wasn't so cold! so hopefully less heating now, i've got kitchen and bathroom windows open to dry the walls out, you can see a huge difference in the bathroom wall already.

    providing i can get the credit union loan my bathroom is going to be ripped out and done while were on hols in three weeks, so no more struggling to get in and out of bath for me (shower being put in instrad :) ) getting a bit dangerous now i'm pulling the towel rail off the wall and the windowsill off to cause i use them to get in and out of bath.

    credit union loan dh is going to pay out of his overtime.

  • Morning everyone.

    Hello Billie and Rainbow. Welcome to this forum, everyone is really friendly on here and will offer fantastic words of wisdom and support when needed. It's like having a plethera of extended sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles etc without the hassle of real family!

    Pooky - good luck to your DH at the pain clinic and I hope the transport works out.

    Luc and Claire - I'm exhaused after readiing what you've done for the day.

    Claire - I hope the MRI scan goes ok and great news about the kitchen looking groovy.

    Bunny - Congratulations on getting your CD. Things are looking up for you.

    Sorry if I've missed anyone off the list.

    Two weeks today my OH is home. :j:j I'm excited but nervous at the same time as I've not seen him for 6 months.

    My OH loves skype Bunny, as I can text his work phone for 0.4p instead of 20p a time from my Vodafone phone.

    Morning :wave: I should be at work but R isn't very well, so my day, which started off super-productive, will now consist of not a great deal! I can at least finish the ironing I suppose though!

    I've got pork in cider casserole in the slow cooker for tonight (for the kids and Stu), but hadn't realised I'd run out of carrots, so it has potatoes, peppers, onions and sweetcorn in instead...not quite sure how that will turn out!

    Hello to the newcomers. :D :hello:
