    HI taxi. I'm sorry to hear about your woes. A series of blows. Good luck with getting round it, you've done so well recently that I'm sure you'll find a way of replacing that missing day's earnings. OHs grrrrrrr.

    Hi all...I feel a bit better today but a little annoyed still but I can't help how he feels..lol...the car is in getting fixed as we speak..so hope that comes in at the price quoted or under for cash!!!
    This month is harder as I'm £700 down with the car being fixed and the payment on account for tax so that hasn't helped matters.Guess I should feel lucky as every bill will get paid..it's only the over payments I can't make.
    I shouldn't moan really about OH as he's normally very good about things.I will just have to catch up when I go back to work.Unless I manage to have a brainwave!!!

    Hi taxi - just catching up!

    Well pheweee, so glad your OH has come around. It would be OK if he had decided to take an extra day off say, when you were fit & able to go back to work but...right now? Not good!

    How are you feeling these days 'tummy' wise?

    Sorry to hear you posted the cheque off a day early - I know that would have annoyed me too. However, just think, July will be here before you/we know it and the bill will already be paid so - in theory, July should be a breeze! Sort of...;)

    Hi LA...I'm glad he came around....I just had to talk to him and make him think it was his idea to carry on...LOL
    I feel I haven't got anywhere this month but looking at it I've just had to spend £700 I wasn't expecting...so it wasn't down to bad budgeting...so I guess that's a good thing...
    I received my £30 cash back cheque from Morgan Stanley today ...so that's good news...so will put that in bank tomorrow...
    I managed to do the shopping myself in Morrisons today..which is quite an achievement...my tummy hurts a little but not too much....though I'm still quite tired...
    Not a lot happening around here at the moment but will finish the shopping tomorrow..we just need a couple of bits...

    Hi all...
    hope you're all ok...not much happening here as usual...just pottered about today...been to the bank...went for a brew at mates cafe and did a bit of shopping at Iceland....did a wash load and hung it out...that's it!!!
    My total is coming down slowly(very)...I just don't seem to be getting very far at the moment...perhaps next month will be better...

    Hi there. I am sure next month will be better.

    We all have disappointing months and perhaps this was one of yours...although it's not been all bad has it?
