I can't be sure but i think i've lost £20 grrrrrrrrr :mad:

Ex gave me some cash and so i've been using it in bits and bobs and not kept track of what's left. I thought i took £60 out today and i spend £40 on a sat nav.... but nothing left :-/

It's more annoying cos i don't know for sure :-/

Beanie can you call your bank and check how much you took out? That way at least you know.

Izzy went down for a nap in her own bed without any fuss today. She whinged quietly for a bit but not enough for me to go back in. I have finished doing my legs, so I no longer have one leg looking like a bear. Now to get some jars in the oven to warm for chutney, and doing the washing up while they warm. Or possibly do my eyebrows. That might be a better plan while I have no distractions, and no-one trying to help me!

Sounds like he might be exactly what they are looking for :rotfl:

I have visions of Harry Enfield and "Young maaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" in my head

I'll tell him that, he'll appreciate it :rotfl:

Caitlyn has no wellies... She's so deprived!!

I'm going to take them to lichfield next week and get their feet measured... If she's grown to the dizzy lengths of a size 3 I'll see what I can find on eBay...

She's loving the cat at the moment... He miaows a lot when she touches him but doesn't actually move so I don't think it's as horrific as he makes out... Although she did just try and pick him up by his skin... That's a first lol...

Ladybird it was cash, i've had it stashed in the cupboard and been dipping into it all week when going shopping etc and not kept track. Very non-MSE of me

imagine that the interviewers like to watch Jonathan Creek naked

If Jonathan Creek was nekkid I would absolutely watch :cool::o:rotfl:

Busy day for us, we're just back in after lots of stuff. We were walking through a main square and a tourist was so taken with Molly that she turned her head to stare and walk ... and fell off the curb. I went over to help and she BOUNCED up and said, Nothing happened! and scurried off redfaced.

Husband is taking Molly out for dinner tonight. I have a massive to-do list but might have a bath instead. Decisions decisions.

Michelle and MOTM- I hope you both got some sleep in the end.

I only woke up an hour ago. Girls said I needed my sleep, so didn't wake me at the agreed 12 noon. Never done that when I was I was on my own with them, so feel very strange, but i'm at least 'with it'.

MOTM i dont do tesco either unless its for toys etc. we have a great butcher although he is around a 10 mile each way drive, they do freezer bag and lable everythhing which helps me hugely!

Is there a reason you don't do Tesco? Sounds like a decent butcher. My locals all have the gift of the gab and I swear talk billy bullshine all the time.

Is Susan pregnant? I seen someone congratulate her but I cannot find a post from her announcing it.

oooh Tigs, your going to have mucho fun now at bedtimes

That sucks Beenie

Loving the wellybops MFD.

I usually get keira's from here, though she currently has a pair of clarks as the farmyard ones I got her from there are a size 7? and way too small, she wont let me bung em though!

http://www.fredsclothing.co.uk/pl/194/girls-funky-wellies-country-clothing.html

They dont seem to have the farmyard ones in anymore, but they still have the matching rain mac, and possibly umbrella. Just noticed they sell Joules clothes, what a rip off they are. Keira's gran keeps buying that stuff, she got her a cute little polo t shirt that's striped and it cost £25 :eek: for a tshirt! That she spilled some irn bru on. The jeans she got her aswell, are age 4 to 5 but are baggy at waist and half mast on her legs? I might ebay those if I can ever be @rsed. She's now 3ft 4 and a half, what's average for a 4year and 4 month old? I dunno where that red book is lol oops


God the Joules clothes look so pretentious. Should deck Keira out in to go horse riding (which I need to arrange for her to go again, bit skint till next week!) But she has started speaking well posh, she goes "Oh! Rigggggght!" but in a toff voice. It's quite funny but people must think I stole her from Balmoral or something.

main reason is its further away and i do like to get as much locally from the butcher and farm, morrisons and asda are next door to each other in the town so i usually head there. LOL about the locals! i had one of the older guys from my old job cuddle me in front of a few village mums, he said the tounges would wag and they certainly have today PMSL! noone around here even knows me so i would love to know whats being said! the joys of village life dont think i would really like to be anywhere else though?

Always good to support local businesses if possible. I/we tend to avoid Tesco because of ethics/poor quality, but sometimes it's just convenient being the nearest.

:rotfl:that is indeed village life. Just look at it as you being big news If you are happy somewhere, it's best not to rock the boat.

Talking of cuddles, my girls always cuddle me in public, everywhere and it was oh so nice when I finally stumbled down the stairs to be mobbed. I just hope they do the same when i'm old and smelly :rotfl:

Susan, (congrats btw ) the Bruno letter i sent to Ms. B!tch.. i've had no response or anything.. and i kinda expected one? what do you think? I don't wanna phone up, am allergic

I got a reply through the post yesterday. It's a complete pile of poo. The only thing they've agreed as that they took too long to respond to your initial complaint. They said that the HO and the support worker denied that HO had sworn and that they are both people of good standing therefore they believe them. Considering support worker wasn't present it should be obvious they are lying as she should have said she wasn't present for the majority of the time. And they said the complaint was shut down because from the test they deemed the noise to be acceptable and you hadn't complained since and totally ignored the fact that HO directly told me that would not happen when I specifically asked her. I am very :mad::mad::mad::mad: and am going to write them a new letter. They did say that you are free to make new complaints which would be investigated (although by same HO).

I would suggest you keep a detailed diary of all noise including the following:

• date
• time
• duration
• intensity
• description
• any action you took (e.g. requesting them to turn it down)
• their response

Also you should phone HO every time to report it because they have effectively said that unless you are constantly telling them about it it doesn't exist. (And they said, "Should Miss Cat still be experiencing noise nuisance, she must report the matter to Housing Services and the case will be reviewed appropriately." - emphasis mine) And keep a record of your phone calls and what she has said.

They're a bunch of clowns.
