The boys will be fine. With their colouring, you won't even know that they have had anything done =whereas on a white cat - OMG what have they done to you ?????? They may be a bit groggy, but should bounce back very quickly.

Time flies and lots more had happened. The freezer part of the fridge has decided not to work properly will not keep things frozen only cold. Someone is coming out to look at it soon hopefully they can fix it as I do not really want to buy a new fridge freezer as this one is not that old. Funny actually as our 16 year old Lec fridge freezer is still going strong so would not have minded if that had gone but is the 4 or 5 year old thats playing up.

Also finally spoke to IFA and agree nothing needs to be done on our arrangements for now. Bill £550 for actually not a lot nice to know our pensions will pay a reasonable amount when we retire but that is about it. Well got to pay it but my advise would be be to do it yourself don't pay an IFA to check your provisions I think I could have done it myself.

Done 3 MS yesterday first one for ESA not sure I really liked it its was a funeral home...strange one. I am not sure am going to keep with them as you have to apply for the jobs say why you want it and then they allocate it. Difficult to plan when you don't know if you got the job. Still applied for two more and we shall see if I get them.

Boys have recovered from their op there was no way we could keep them in 48 hours after wards. I managed a couple of hours and shut them in the first night then they have been out. Right now Jack is nowhere to be seen been gone most of the day but thats typical him.

Got my friends 50th birthday present sorted out its Thursday so that is very organised for me really. Got her a bottle of Cava and some vouchers for a manicure which I am sure she will like. She got me such a thoughtful present I had to get her something nice.

Friday at last nice big golf thing tomorrow at the club and then chill out Sunday. Hopefully DH will play Sunday and I can have a rest at home on my own.

Will let you know the outcome of the fridge freezer later on.

Rubbish rubbish rubbish just had to pay £60 to be told that the fridge freezer need a new compressor £290 4 hours labour so not really worth it. Will get £60 back if I buy a fridge freezer off them but they could not find me one in silver (how rubbish is that there are loads on the internet if not stainless steel or graphite. Thinking of this one http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/shop/appliances/fridges_and_freezers/fridge_freezers/114448090_hotpoint_ff4dx_quadrio_fridge_freezer_stainless_steel.html?hnav=4294966188

We have quite a narrow kitchen and there is no way to plumb it in so cannot have a big fridge.

Well thats a lot of money wasted today £60 for the estimate (get it back if we can repair it) and £550 for the stupid IFA which I wish I have never ever gone near. We will need a new fridge freezer and you know me I have expensive taste so a plain white one will not do.

Going to the gym now as I am feeling quite fed up...

Time for an update, Danish lunch went really well 7 of us and food worked fine. Ended up sitting outside with the fire on until 9pm so a long but good day. That is definitely the last of my 40th birthday celebrations now.

Boys are having their snip today so had to be kept in last night and no food. They did not like that one bit. Right now Jack is lying in my arms as I type purring away. He looks quite happy but does not know what awaits him when we leave in 30 min.

Got a MS quite far away tonight for dinner and DH does not want to go so have texted friend asking her but we shall see. If she says no I might be a bit stuck as I cannot go on my own really.

Got on the scales yesterday have not lost anything and I felt I had been good. Mind you I did have a few beers on Sunday night maybe that did it also only managed 2 times in the gym. Lets hope this week is better.

Any for my inspiration I had a look at the Danish estate agents this one has just come on the market same road only 1.195.000kroner thats £130,000 not too bad.

wow love it

Another thing that has gone wrong in the TG household is the skybox. Luckily Dh managed to speak to them and it could be reset via the phone line. It is only a few months old so still under warranty but we don't really need anymore things to go wrong here do we?

Very productive morning, took the bottles to the bottle bank (loads as usual) went to Markro and got the essential we were out off such a loo roll (32 rolls for £8 bargain). Then went to Petsathome did not have the special offer on the kitten food we need but got some treats for them (only £1.60. Then off to Curry and Comet to have a look at fridge/freezers. Both agreed not to go mad and when I looked at the Hotpoint one I posted yesterday it really was not nice way too big. Found a Samsung we liked in both one in white and one in silver only £30 more in silver so checked online and paid £280 to have it delivered and remove the old one. Also got 3% back on Quidco which was nice. Being delivered on the 31st Aug that was it was free delivery.

Got the shopping done and had lunch so now just chilling out. DH is not going to play golf as it is raining but had a nice time at the big golf fun day and I won 6 golf balls and DH won a wine set (cork screw etc etc no wine) They also gave me a bottle of CAVA for my 40th really nice of them. Spent about £10 in total on the day and then went to McDonalds for lunc (it was 5pm) as the food at the club is rubbish and expensive. Not good for the diet I know but alcohol wise I have been good this week only had 4 or 5 drinks. Only been to the gym once but will go later on today. Really hope the scales start to shift.

Actually this is a bit embarrassing but on Friday I wore my new LTS trousers and they split on the inside seam. Ok they were tight but really I had never worn them before so surely they should not split. Will need to dig out the invoice and see if I can complain. Looks like the seam was to close to the edge.

MUST LOOSE SOME WEIGHT....WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEK

They say things come in 3's first the fridge then the Skybox and now my work laptop. I managed to trip over the charger and now it will not charge and happens to be out of power all together. Got a new one from Amazon only £19 and if it works I should be able to charge it to work (my second charger in 4 months).

Some good news is I got an email first thing saying I could return the ripped trousers and they sent me a free postage label for me to send it back refund or new pair I opted for the refund.

No weightloss again this week but to be fair only made it to the gym once and played golf once but I am sure I was within my 8 glasses of Alcohol. Will have to try harder this week eating a huge watermelon right now that should be good shouldn't it?

Did not get selected for the latest ESA jobs thinking of resigning from there not prepared to write a huge essay on why I should have the jobs if they still don't pick me.

Sorry to sound so negative guess its Monday morning and I am a bit fed up.

Aww TG, what annoying load of s*** to happen. Least now all three have happened so you shoud have good luck for a while to balance it all out (fingers crossed)

Enjoy your vodka soaked watermelon

TallGirl

Thanks guys that really made me laugh.

Just for the record there is no VODKA in my watermellon and I shall be going to the gym tonight. Had nice salad for lunch with green beans, 1 hard boiled egg, tuna, salad and cucumber no dressing. Tonight is corn on the cob with a bit of butter.

Still a bit fed up but as you say now all 3 has happened so that should be it.
