    Morning all

    Quick update.. Back is still not much better..A tiny bit more comfortable, I am hoping a quiet weekend of relaxation helps get this sorted out..

    I lost a fence panel in the garden, it blew away in the field.. I will have have to sort this out at the weekend in the daylight..

    £6 has landed in my account from £co and has been swiftly transferred to the masterplan fund..

    The credit card statement should be published tomorrow, once paid off this weekend, I can move more funds to the masterplan account..

    Hope you are all well?

    Froggy :cool:

    OH & I split up back in October, so its been quite a strange xmas.. I took a week off to go and see my folks just before xmas and had a quiet week off at home after that..

    Masterplan indeed.. I think once our house is sold I can move on to bigger and better things.. I am waiting to hear about redundancy at work..Hopefully by the end of this month..

    Once redundancy & house selling are out of the way, there will be no stopping me!

    I had a quick glance at your diary, and saw the update about your DD.. What do i need to do to get the doctors to remove their fingers from their backsides and get on with finding out whats wrong with your DD, so you can move on with your MFW mission!!

    Oh you are kidding mate :( sorry to hear that, I can only imagine it must have been a really upside down time for you.

    Positive thinking thats the only way buddy. You'll soon be back on your feet in no time.

    Tbh I can't complain about the hosptial with DD, they have been doing plenty of tests and our consultant is the lead pediatric consultant for neurological care in the UK and apparently I heard Nottingham is one of the leading sites in Europe. To be perfectly honest we are no longer that worried by it and our guess is they will never know and she simply grows out of it. We saw alot of children far worse off than DD when in Hospital so it put it all into perspective.

    At least its kept me distracted from football and the terrible results (seeing Spurs win so much really pains me)

    Glad to hear the best people are on your DD's case..

    We won't talk football as like you, I am quite annoyed at the last result..

    Quick look at my £co account, and there's another £85 approved, ready to be paid this month (+£110 yet to be approved).. My TCB account has a couple of quid in it.. These will be very welcome in my Masterplan account..

    My lits of things to do is slowly increasing as I need to keep up the pace to hit my targets..
    I have 200 DVD's sitting in the office.. Will need to have a look to see which of Amazon/Ebay or MusicMagpie is the most beneficial..
    Also need to investigate local facebook selling pages where I could flog a few items that have been hanging around in the house..

    If I am home early enough, I can also have a look at repairing the fence..

    In true bargaining terms, I need to call Sky to see if I can reduce the package (might need to use subtle French charm on this one :p)..

    I have just emailed broadband provider as they had promised a £10 HMV voucher, which I have not received as yet..

    Cheers

    I have had to do this too, except mine was for £40 of M&S vouchers. Provider doesn't happen to begin with O does it. I got told 3 different tales when I rang up! :mad:
