    Now we have no hot water :mad: my friend is coming round in an hour, I need to get showered, dressed and washed up.

    How much more am I going to have to shell out for???

    I'm starting to hyperventilate.....

    I don't sleep well after drinking either - I am up at the crack of dawn feeling rough:o Not today though, 1 glass of cider and a small wine+lemonade was enough for me last night!

    Hope you get the problem with the car sorted. I hate having to deal with anything like that, I just feel like a right dippy female:o My mot is due next month but I'm hoping my lovely new(ish) car will sail through. Just as I'm on a serious cut back I have the mot and both dds birthdays;)

    We all had 50p each way on a horse yesterday:rotfl: Ex put them on for us. Mine went at the 2nd fence, dd2's managed about halfway and dd1's was in the lead for a while then dropped back at the very last sprint bit and came 9th:rotfl: Still, good fun, apart from the horses that had to be destroyed...so sad:(

    I need to go shower too...hope you get your hot water sorted.
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Crikey sweetie,

    you are having a run of things breaking down. Wishing you every success for your ebay sales to help recoup some costs.

    I also seethe at being addressed as Mr. I sent a stinking letter to DDs school about that ... think I got my point across as they've not repeated the error :D

    Hope your hot water is back on now :)

    hurrah to paperwork culling and party, boo to hangover, hot water and garage. Mind you, also hurrah for Dads who can help with such things.

    hope your hot water gets sorted asap

    Hot water is intermittent :( I managed to get the washing up done (just) but failed at the first attempt at running a bath for DD, left it half an hour and it was OK. Keeping things crossed for tomorrow morning - I don't fancy a prison-style shower :eek:

    My headache is only now just easing off and that's because I buckled and took 2 migra1eve ;)

    DD is in bed and I am catching up on all my TV. I'm rather shamefully admitting that I am looking forward to the new season of TOWIE :p:p:p

    It's one damn thing after another isn't it ? It's exactly the same in my house !
    If I didn't spend most of my days crashing from one disaster to the next I don't know what I would do with my time :)
    Fingers crossed for hot water !

    It's the high side of normal (within the green band when cool)

    What do you know - the garage has rung and there was a problem with the underside of my car. I knew it....

    All fixed now :D

    £30 payment to CC has now taken the balance to below £900 :j
    I have cancelled Equ1fax and Cred1t Expert within the 30 day free trial period so no charges expected there and my cashback from Qu1dco has tracked.:)

    I think my paypal account was sorted so 9 parcels sent off.
