morning all :hello:


plans for today:
get worming tablets down cats - this is going to be difficult on my own :eek:

I get stuff called Profender from my vet for my cats - you just put it on the backs of their necks just like the flea treatment. No more tablets - it has changed my life, and no more scars to add to my large collection of 'worming cat injuries'

Few things today from me -

- stocked up on a few toiletries at the well-cheap B&M's
- washed my car myself for free
- saved £17 it would have cost and got my mum to cut my hair :rotfl:

tomorrow is going to be a long, free dog walk somewhere with a flask of tea

oh, and i recently helped my mum write a letter of complaint to an airline for a recent flight delay after reading a thread on MSE about passenger rights and the airline has just sent her a £100 cheque :)

Hi can i join pls? I am totally obsessed with this forum and have to get up early to indulge my obsession without my oh feeling neglected (asleep at the mo;)).

DF things yesterday:

1. found out on Fri that I have been paying 2% more nat ins than I'm supposed to for 3 years!!! and this month will get £378 back for 2009/10 in my salary so used it to purchase new insurance for car. So relieved as thought I was going to have to pay in installments this year :T (will get the rest for years march 2007-2009 directly from IR in a couple of months & will go directly to my debt)
2. Went and bought laminate flooring for my kitchen yesterday as B&Q had 20% off - is this technically DF? it was something we def needed, have been renovating our house since we moved in in Aug 2008 decorated kitchen last year but have been waiting to get the money to do flooring. Was quoted £250 from flooring shop and got it for £133!
3. Worked extremely hard and efficiently at work yest - tech not DF but ensuring I still have a job to pay the bills!!!
4. Had leftover chilli I made the day b4
5. Bought compost to plant seeds tomorrow - so exciting!!

Today I will:

1. do washing on quick wash @ 30, dry outside?
2. freeze left over chilli for lunches next week
3. make 2x banana bread and freeze 1 for sweet treats throughout week & also use up v ripe bananas
4. go to the gym, technically not MS but am tied in until Aug so trying to make the most of what I am spending. Am also doing a running programme so I can build up to running so when contract finishes I can take up running for free. Although I will loose the 2x weekly suanas I'm currently enjoying...

I think that's enough! the rest of the time I intend to be as lazy as I possibly can be and enjoy not working :T

Hi all - Congratulations Lottebear, and WELL DONE!

Welcome determined new ms, what a fantastic start with your NI rebate!

I have had the most fabulous Mother's Day so far. I was woken by T with a lovely handmade card, chocs and a fried egg sandwich. 'Breakfast is solved' he said as he presented it to me! :rotfl:Then an utterly gorgeous bouquet of flowers was delivered. B and T had entered a local competition and won them for me, along with £45 worth of vouchers for some local shops!:jI really feel so lucky today, and the kids were so proud of themselves.

I've had a LS weekend so far, spent catching up with friends, enjoying the sunshine and walking on the beach. We have had a house-guest this weekend- T's classroom teddybear (!)- so we have been showing him a good time.

Off to the car booty in a minute then we are meeting the family later at my Mum's.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend xxxxx L x
