what about old paperwork ie for a mobile contract I no longer have and statements from an old finance deal?

Don't think anyone answered this, I would tend to keep these one year after they are time lapsed, unless you are pursuing a complaint/claim in which case it would be 1 year after closure or such.

TBH it looks worse now than it did to start with I keep dosing her up on meds to keep the pain at bay. She is being a lil trooper though and carrying on as best she can.

I'm not in the best frame of mind. My early start this morning is catching up with me and I have the same lurgy as Cycling by the sound of things but mine started with the running nose....

"Have been feeling rough for about a week now...run down, no energy, dozing in an afternoon, hint of a sore throat...well this morning I ache all over and my nose is running. Still at least I know why I feel rubbish now!"

Anyway I hope we both recover quickly Cycling and all the other poorlies.

I've spent most of my non working day ironing. I'm annoyed at DS2 who hasn't given me his dirty laundry so I've got more to do tomorrow. DS2 had his options evening tonight. I was feeling rough so DH took him. DH didn't want to listen to the inspirational talk and was home again in 30 mins clutching a few bits of paper.

I've also spent a long time looking for my small wheeled case for our trip on Friday. DD1 borrowed it and I can't find it anywhere. I've got a horrible suspicion she took it over to the boyfriends and I'm now filled with horror as I know the boyfriend's cat had kittens in the suitcase 10 days ago:eek:! She is due back soon and is ignoring my text's asking her to bring it back with her.

I'm going to fly tomorrow morning to get the house straight for when we are away.

Pigpen: I hope you gave the school a piece of your mind for taking DD without permission. Also hope you get some sleep and feel better in the morning

Mumto5 Hope you feel better soon.

Well dinner done and kitchen S&S for the evening and DW on both DD and DS have been showered and are in their respective beds which I ended up making :mad:.

This afternoon saw me going for a sleep when the kids came home,which is unheard of but just listerning to DD and DS witter on seemed to drain me of energy this afternoon.
