    Well a bit of a wash out this morning.

    Slept in till 9 as DH snored most of the night and kept me awake, so I only got decent sleep after 6 when he got up!

    Had breakfast, checked emails and this thread.

    Then spent an hour trying to get into the government gateway to do my end of year returns for them, failing miserably and sitting on hold for the help desk to tell me why they wouldn't let me log in. Need to wait another (up to a) week for them to send me a new password. Dang blast it!!!

    Have got 200 direct mails ready to go postal (need to buy 800 stamps when I am out!) and then need to stuff some more envelopes to get the rest done over the next couple of days. Will take DD into town later as she has a New Look voucher to spend.

    Hope you are all having more productive days than I am!

    No prob :-) thanks for doing the email hun , glad you got carpet sorted, what a nightmare!

    Just tested the bl**dybu**erybas**rd remote control jeeps and only 1 works out of 8...either I'm doing something very silly or they are knackered...Oh well OH can sort them out!
    so I cant sell them coz they dont work which means I've done all my jobs yay! ok dinner time!
  • ive barely started my jobs - still getting all my invoicing integrated and ive made a leap - but it also makes me cry as it is HARD work!

    You would think that when working with a company who has an invoicing package, it would be an easier process than working with a massive corporation like ebay to do the simple things - yet it is sooooo the other way around!

    Tracey - where did you get the jeeps from? Are you using the right controllers for the right jeeps - are they on the same frequency?

    NLID - pm-ing you!
