Comments
-
HI all I am declaring an early NSD day today this makes my new total 13 second target met. Can i please increase to 16.
Had a bad few days my washer gave in sunday full of washing and water ahhhhhhhhh:mad: Then yesterday after picking up DD1 from school the car decided to have a puncture. Managed to pump the tyre up but when OH came out of work the tyre went down again the spare is also faulty and flat. Just lately it seems like it is one thing after another but i surpose you cope and come through it. Currently waiting for OH to phone the washer peoplw as he has a repair plan with them, the utility room still smells of burning washing machine. (Don't worry it is unplugged and full of water managed to get the soaking washing out). I am surposed to be off work thursday and finishing the christmas shopping if the car don't get fixed this will be a no no. When did it get so complicated.#Sealed pot #085.

Don't worry kdalwayskint - it gets easier (and more addictive!) the more you do it - I've been joining this thread for 1 year now and it's definitely my favourite!donna_dynamo wrote: »Had a bad few days my washer gave in sunday full of washing and water ahhhhhhhhh:mad: Then yesterday after picking up DD1 from school the car decided to have a puncture.
I hope the washer and car get fixed soon donna - at least they'll have shiney new bits soon which means that hopefully they won't breakdown again any time soon!

Good morning all!
Feeling a bit more like myself today, def had a dose of the "blues" yesterday!
When I got home I checked my receipt from Mr a and discovered they had put through an item twice - £10! I wasnt sure what to do as I only realised after I'd left the shop. Decided to take a chance and phoned CS and explained the situation. They were very nice and the result is that I have to "pop in at my earliest convenience" and they will refund my tenner. Result! :jTen quid is too much to write off as far as I'm concerned!
Kerri - good news re boiler, not too drastic moneywise, at least that's you sorted for the winter. I always get a bit twitchy when things go wrong with heating etc.
BDINI - good luck for the interview - by the way - if you're reading this - GET BACK TO YOUR PRESENTATION!!;)
Spoon - I want those knickers, I agree they are compulsory wear for the 30th!
Going for a NSD today as I'm working - keeps me out of mischief!;)
Have a lovely day everyone!:)
Agree with all you have said.

Hi Spoon and NSDers
Doing quite well at the moment - 3 more NSDs to report for me (it might have been 4 except I visited hell's own shop pr1mark on Saturday). Thats me up to 12, my target, so I will increase it to 15 now please Spoon.
