Pinecone sent me a voucher booklet in the post which we then took to Mr T. It was a mix of £1 and 50p vouchers.

I get p'cone to pay into my paypal account. I did get the vouchers origionally though.

Thanks, guys. I would rather get paypal, I will look into that.

Haha funny, the girl who wasn't doing her coursework not now or ever because I stood by her...asked very nicely yesterday if she could see me on a specific lunchtime and do it. LOL!

Were you tempted to say No? Not that any of us would ever be that unprofessional. :rotfl:

PC 'invite' you to get paypal after first few surveys.

GFH you a chemistry teacher then?? for some reason I though you were primary... no idea why.

I changed my address with PC and they have started sending me voucher booklets again... grrrr

How long you got to go GFH?? you hit the pee'd off stage yet?

I did take the pi$$ extensively!!

LP I am 31 weeks this week, too worried about MIL situation to get too peed off, and working another 4 1/2 weeks, so no time really to get fed up, and also lucky to be well. I do feel for you, it must be so frustrating.
You have just reminded me I need to ring the m/w...

eta thanks for pinecone tips.

hehe thats sounds like the teenagers are more hassle than the 6 year olds

They are certainly at least as funny.

NSD today, MIL is going downhill fast it seems, SIL is on the 'phone every 5 minutes. I'm starting A level marking today, so a bit of extra money coming in but a load of work.

Very excited about puppy visiting on Saturday, and have managed to arrange a birthday party for DD1, of sorts, but need to order her present.

Spent £108 on diesel, eek! DD1's parents' evening. Home early. SIL has started ringing DH at work now...she is clearly not coping and I am going to get DH to ring the macmillan nurse to ask some advice later.

What I don't understand is why SIL has taken time off to look after her mother, but is not there most of the time.

DH will lose the plot if this goes on.
