    Hi everyone,

    hope you've all been good dribblers while I've been away.
    can anyone give me a quick weeks update of what I've missed. Looks like we've got a new look forum for starters.
    Holiday to butlins was fantastic, just what I needed to be away from the office, my laptop and my phone (well still had my phone but rarely used it)

    Last Monday afternoon when DD came home from school, my plan was to head up to a local bank branch and get a cashcard account opened for her. We had to detour to her fathers to pick up her passport. By the time she'd hunted for it, called her dad to ask where it was, discovered it was in the safe, figured out how to get it open, got back in the car, took off, realised she'd left the passport on the kitchen counter when she'd stopped to feed the kitty, gone back for said passport, finally arrived right outside the bank, jumped out of the car...... yep, the bank was shut already.

    So we made plans to do it today, since we already had the offending passport safely in our grip. She arrived home from school just before 4pm, I cut her waffle about the day short knowing full well she wouldn't venture outside without changing/doing her hair and off we went. Arrived at the bank with loads of time to spare! Yippeee!! We're just back. Can anyone spot the extremely large and ugly fly in the ointment of my plan?

    Hello everyone:wave:

    Hope everyone is ok and if not lots of hugs.

    Well only one more file for work to go before Mr ofsted next week
    and only 3 weeks of maths to catch up with now though:(

    Need to do lots of ebaying so can I join you Skint for £100 by Sun for some motivation? I am trying to list 5 items a day everyday now too.

    I have to go to hospital tomorrow afternoon and am not looking forward to it at all, I keep saying to myself this time tomorrow it will be all over.:cry:

    No prob TH- the more the merrier, so thats 3 of us now in the "hunt down a hundred" by any means possible!
    right got to feed the kids, little sh*T of a DS was being stroppy and asked "what have you done all day anyway" maybe start with selling him - only they would probably ask for a refund after a couple of days.
    catcha later
