You havent at all hijacked my diary! DD2 is getting there slowly. Theres still the issue with the dust bunnies and general mess.
She will peg out but at the moment only threats will make her do it. I am annoyed with her right now as she has taken her ipod to school despite me saying no.
I really like a small kitten. I am trying to persuade my husband to allow me to take her home.
I want a tortoise !!! My husband said no to, so DD2 bought me a fake one back from IOW ,we have named it Shanklin as thats where she stayed. He lives in the corner of the kitchen and when my mum popped over we quickly sellotaped a piece of lettuce to its mouth so she thought it was real and chomping on lettuce in the kitchen corner !! She was horrified ! :eek: Shes not a real animal lover my mum !!!bxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Additionally, I have also had in a seperate mail, that I can only carry 5 days over. Therefore what they seem to be proposing is to LOSE 20 days holiday!
In that case let the holidays begin:D. Tell them you won't carry any over, but then again, you won't be at work for the next 5 weeks;).
Good luck with the kitten - we are aiming for an Aussie puppy. I'm a sucker too:p.

I shall I have four cats already and 2 dogs. However I recently lost a cat. I find 5 is a magic number with them. I have only one girl cat, who has the name Anthea.
Shes fabulous. Shes a long haired madam. I have Pedro Keith and Victor also. Anthea needs a freind I think. Well you know. I have the space and the inclination!Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Haha J a puppy is marvellous. My old ladies arent pups anymore, but they make you happy. The one pound 40 is just a little effort to the greater good. Once the good times start rolling a change will come!
I paid via interent banking so may use my statement lolTrying to shift that debt!0 -

My timeline is complete....
1. Amex by September. 2. Vodafone by November 3. Rise and P2P by December.
This is doable easily doable. Then I have 300 a month extra to pump into clearing the next thing...
The rest is forecast and subject to change.. but for the purposes of a 6 month plan....
following those I am repaying Vanquis which will probably take me til July. I can try and make some ground up there as my disposable income is going up and I am using that to change the car later this year without impacting things repayment wise, but after Ive made myself a little money buffer I will pump more into repaying.
Might have to use a couple of hundred we have over to pay vodafone and get it off the credit report for the mortgage so that might just jump ahead of the amex.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
