    Morning all,

    Thanks for popping in turfy6 and weehev.

    Well, typical bank holiday monday here, its dull and very chilly!!! Not much going on in the JC household today. Which Im glad about cos we did have a very busy weekend.

    OH has stuck to his word, his motorbike has now gone and he is going to use the cash to buy another one, so no loans thank god :j I am so glad I stuck to my guns on that one!!

    As I said in my previous post, I know our debts havent gone down by alot, but its a start and seeing it going down I have to say, has lifted my spirits the last couple of days.

    OH has decided that he is bored with taking sandwiches etc to work and now wants to buy some from Mr T's:mad: not happy about that at all. But, hopefully in the next couple of weeks, the bank account will be sorted out and he will have his own spending money account. So he can do what he likes, and I wont have to worry or care!!!! So that will something else i wont have to think about!

    Hope everyone is ok, take care and enjoy your bank holiday :)

    xxxxxxxx

    morning all,

    Having a break from my course so thought I would pop in!

    Weather is pants, again here today, cold and chilly. cant believe its June!


    Not happy with DD at the min, why do kids never listen? Have told her so many times not to pick her laptop up by the screen, does she listen.......no:mad: now the bottom of the screen (ie the joints or whatever you call them) has got a nice crack along it. OH is hoping he can fix it himself, as we cant afford to repair it or get another one.

    I must admit OH is getting the idea I think. Normally, he would have just gone out and brought another laptop, but even he said no way this time. Shes got to learn and thats that.

    Fingers crossed he can fix it tonight.

    Oh well, best get back to it. hope you are all ok.

    have a great day everyone x

    JC, nothing stressful or to worry about. Just routine twice yearly diabetic check. I am fine. I get the results next week.

    I hope you had a good day. I am utterly shattered. Cannot force myself to get up but i must.

    hugs,

    Hiya weehev,

    sorry to read about your bathroom, what a nightmare!! hope its sorted out for you soon.

    With regards to the bike, I wish he would use it to pay off stuff but unfortunately, he has already brought another bike! Its the only thing he does really as a hobby. But at least I can relax knowing that its paid for in cash!!!!

    Take care weehev, hope bathroom is finished soon. xx
