No problem Cat Slave

Night out Sat went well - managed to only spend £35 for the meal & drinks all night, which is great if you ask me :T Did help that friends who were staying over night after the night out brought a couple of bottle of mulled wine over, which we tucked into before we went out
I did spent £12 before hand in the supermarket - however my DW bought items on sunday that we needed in the supermarket, so evens on that front.
Busy day at my p/time job today - schools have broken up therefore the restaurant gets busy as it's next to a cinema! That, needed to get my mum's present posted & having to meet the pet sitter - i didn't manage to get to the bank
I'm sure I've got a direct number for the guy, therefore will try them on the phone tomorrow . . .
right off to cook cauliflower cheese for dinner now - take care one & all

Bank refunding double insurance premiums update - went back to the bank today, with information in hand & after a wait managed to spk to the original person who set the insurance policy up - he is now one of the managers & has said it will ALL (2 monthly premiums I paid when meant to have been canx + the Canx fee) be refunded to our account on Wed. We'll wait & see but hopefully may have some success this time . . .

Hi all - hope everyone is well?
Sorry I've been away for sooo long, it has been a very busy time over the last few months - we've been to 3 out of the 5 weddings we're attending this year, moved house & it's already almost our 1st wedding aniversary!!!
As mentioned above we've had alot of social commitments over the last couple of months, meaning my MSE hasn't been as on target as hoped. However, the majority of the expenses, inc. several large garage bills thrown in for good measure, has been covered by my 2nd job. This has prevented me getting further into the red, but has slowed the re-payments down - I'm still seeing it as a positive that I'm not deeper in than before though :beer:
On that note . . SIGNATURE UPDATE!!!!
On a not quite so positive, I am really struggling this month, as we had 2 weedings & a weeks holiday (stayed at home but still no work, so class as a holiday) close together. Making me brassick until payday a week on monday & just been reminded that I've got buildings insurance to pay this month! :eek:
My other worry, as mentioned, it's our 1st wedding aniversary on the 25th & I wanted to spoil my DW, not only am I struggling to think what to get for her but I don't get paid till 20th & then don't have any free days inbetween (as we're at another friends wedding on our actual aniversary!).
Keep calm & carry on thinking me thinks . . . .
I visted the doc's the other day as getting regular headaches again, thought could be my eyes so visited the opticians 1st but my prescription hasn't changed therefore they suggested going to my GP. My GP diagnoised it as tension headaches, most likely caused by stress, being a old school GP suggested doing my exercise. So now I'm on a mission to get out on my bike reguarly - wish me luck!
Right think my diary is upto date now. Must dash off now but will catch up on other dairies later.
Hope it's glorious sunshine like here where ever you are, have a lovely day
