LW - I post cheques to my bank. Just shove them in an envelope with a paying in slip and put a stamp on it. Never had a problem.

But by the time Royal Snail have delivered it, I can be there myself (next Monday), also I still have to get Mr LW to take it in the morning and post it on his way to work. Simpler to wait and take it when we go into town. And saves me the cost of a stamp and envelope:o;)

If he can waste £700+ on a new tv when we cant receive a signal so it is just for the Xbox then I can indulge myself in a huuuuuuuuuuuuugeeeeee WM.. I decided!

I have cleaned up all the empty cardboard, changed and redressed naughtiness, sorted DD2 a new bulb for her lamp *adds spotlight bulbs to tesco list*

They boys room is vacuumed.. DD2 vacuumed her room.. the girs were bellowed at about the state of their room.. considering they have NO toys in there it is amazing how much mess they had made!

If the window guys come with the bay for the back room tomorrow (which I havent cleared at all or even looked at) I shall send them away again.. and cry.. I cannot bear to clear that tonight I have really hurt my hip slipping on the cardboard OH left on the floor.. granted it was a nice neat pile pile but !!!!!! why could he not just take it outside?

Oh.. and while I was doing all the above.. he sat on his f-ing laptop.. and when I had done everything and I sat down and said he was making a cuppa.. I am STILL waiting for him to move..

When KH had his they kept asking questions about his dad... what his job was, his dads DOB... his dad had died when KH was 5 so he didnt know any of these questions lol... it was actually quite funny. They ae just thrown random questions to ask which link them to your family.. addresses, employers, how many people live there.. just basic stuff... not worth getting wound up about!
