Morning all

Banks, cc, cuppa

We all know the drill

Back home, Xhausted! but twas fun - 800 mile round trip in 48 hours! (peek at blog if you want a bit gorgeous autumn colour) - everyone out except me, peedie and Mr F I'm working from home today (ie pottering) to catch up with where I'm at and what I've on this week. When my new job starts (less than two weeks yay) I'm hoping that Mondays will be one of my weekend days as I'm working on a saturday - so trying to get into the swing of it.

morning hope you're good - GV, hope Max had a great night.

Money money money

£8 left in one cc (lucifer)
£31 in the lloyds bank account (paypal money went in to there and helped pay the phone bill yay)


RBs - child benefit in and a bit extra (?) - £300 available in that account (can make a wee pad to cc, but the random money is a worry)


An extra random £186 in bank from WTFC people ?????? (can't be a regular payment as its 3 days too early) I did call them, I did tell them my yearly estimate was lower, they did tell me it wouldn't affect (negatively or positively) my WTFC - but I've an extra payment - or is this it from now, or who knows. I'm dubious to be honest, will wait a couple days and see what happens when my 'normal' payment should arrive and see A, if it comes and B, if its the same/up/down. To be honest chaps we all know it can go anyway they feel like, as a semi-intelligent person, who keeps them informed, I've no bloody idea what on earth they are/aren't doing. Might as well chuck a few bones up in the air and try and read them when they land on the floor - its that unknown what they'll do. Cynical, moi, certainly not! (hee hee)

The Captain CC - has 60 quid left on it - eek, but not over and we've been away. Not much spent on that.

Lovely visitors left a nice fat Mr T voucher card for us and a wee gift for each of the kids which was nice.

Ebay a few gone, a few not - need make up a few parcel today and get them mailed later.

OK not much money but its not over the limits and thats fine the now.

Good stuff Pippi - they really are bizarre aren't they?! Quite strange - never seem to realise they're dealing with actual people with real lives that get messed up when they just push random buttons. Hope it gets figured out soon - what a relief it'll be to have wages coming in for a while that you can rely on! :T

Glad you had a lovely time, will pop over and see Been pottering in the garden myself this weekend - thought of you and how much an easier job you would have made of it than I did! :rotfl: :rotfl:

hey chaps thank you!

Cheery I saw, you've been very busy!

Red I hope you're good? That woodland with the gorgeous autumn colour is the wellie fest wedding location at the top of the list - if not there then the snowdrop garden in central scotland. I love the colours at that particular woodland, took the kids - was all enthused that its 'our' special place - their comment 'have we been here before?'

Ergh - only about 1 billion times. Bah to children.

Well todays plan is to catch up on everything and make a 'working week' plan. I am fed up running about like a headless chooky.

Kettle on, washing machine on - need to make a list and catch up over a few fences!



Waves to all, hope you're good will pop over in a mo.

WTFC - I heard someone once call it the 'what the f***-is-going_on' calamity', seems appropriate. I can't spend anything etc until I know !!!!!! (!) is going on myself.
