Hi cath, soon to be back in WW prison now :rotfl:

Oh no, will you at least get a refund for the days you haven't had internet? Or be able to push DH onto a more accessible provider after this?

themadvix

Hope you get the Internet sorted asap! What a pain! And how dare the Internet gods ruin your plans for a lazy and unproductive day!

newgirly

Hi Michelle and vix, internet is back on, apparently the wireless wasn't on!

Went to work today, don't usually work Mondays but thought I'd get a head start this week and with no internet or money I thought I may as well

Might rattle the change jar this week and see if it's worth chucking in the machine, it's mostly coppers so not worth changing at the bank as I have to pay to park and also as I can't be bothered. I might try and put some in the self serve machine at Tesco but last time I got told off incase I overloaded it :rotfl:

I always use the SS till at Tesc0 to feed all my shrapnel change into - I'm not going to pay c0instar to do it for me! I just take my time and feed it in quite slowly

I think I may have drawn attention to myself last time as I had loads, the coinstar was out of action - I must have looked bonkers paying for a bottle of champagne with a carrier bag of coppers :rotfl:

themadvix

It's certainly an interesting juxtaposition - champagne and coppers!

Woohoo day off :dance: need to update spending figures as after checking the accounts I've missed something

It's the mid month blues when not much is going on financially, the loan has still not come through. Today I have the pleasure of paying for two more festival tickets for the boys' birthdays - its in lieu of a fancy London night out with family that they don't really want to do. We are now having a family afternoon tea (for those that are older or don't like to be out late) rolling on to the evening when it turns into a probably quite boozy BBQ / karaoke (me, my aunt and Dd ).

Apart from a stupendous cake it will be pretty cheap, and thanks to my perfect planning to have all three's big birthdays together it will be cost effective :rotfl::rotfl:

So £280 ish being borrowed from the current account to book tickets, to be paid back from the birthdays pot in July.

Things to tackle today:

Pack for york

Update spending

Make dinner from what needs using up before we go away

Mountain of washing

Ds1 has come downstairs with a massively swollen eye just now, I've giving him anti hystamine so will see what happens, otherwise I'll drag him to the chemists for a look -under protest no doubt! Much amusement for his brother though......
