    I have just been wrestling with a duvet cover - think I won in the end but not too sure - could have been a draw!

    Bless - my daughter is meeting my Dad for lunch at 12.30, she just phoned me and said what time is it, I said 11.30 - her watch was wrong and she had been sat waiting for him to arrive. :rotfl:

    I said didn't your work colleagues think it was a bit strange you going off to lunch that early and she said well none of them said anything!

    My nephew's wife is on the phone to Pals - she still hasn't had the results of my great-niece's MRI scan - it is ridiculous to have kept them waiting this long, especially when a child is involved.

    Hopefully Pals can help and she will get some answers.

    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Hugs Gonzo, sorry you're having such a bad week.

    Tenmah, really hope they get the results soon. I've found PALS to be good, but the person I wanted help about just lied to them and said what they wanted to hear and then phoned me back to say the opposite.

    Bunny, hope you have a good time with your family!

    Grrr, I've just had an email to say I've used 75% of my broadband allowance and I'm only halfway through the month, usually I'm way less than 50% through the whole month. Not sure what's caused it, I've had poocam on in the background all the time, I've started playing facebook games, and I've had to go back to evil internet explorer instead of firefox. So I'm going to have to drastically cut down my time on here, at least for a couple of weeks :(
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
