    DS2 has finally (12.5 months later) got his World of Warcraft account to work.. it meant purchasing a new pc and router and everything.. *sigh* .. done now and going to cost me a bomb I know it! BUT, it has free'd up the xbox for others to use it.. MUST get his birthday presents sorted for next weekend.

    DW been on
    Freja's washing been done.. thankfully I had not turned on the WM with its 3/4 load as she did a nappy up to her armpits! :eek:

    I then got engrossed reading the bridezilla thread.. I want to plan a wedding just so I can b!tch about everyone (like I need an excuse lol)

    Evening allNot much for me this last 2 days a OH has been on his rest days, now he suffers from extreme OCD when it comesto cleaning so I havee a shiny clean house,.My mission for tmw should I choose to accept it ( as if I have any choice) is to tackle the mountain of washing....his ocd doesn't cover that, and the ironing (or that).
    Proud to be dealing with my debt:eek:

    TOTAL: £6,437 (04/01/2013) slowly but surely it is decreasing:D
