  • Hi Happy,

    I hope you had a lovely birthday and were spoilt and looked after by everyone!

    Just think how much catching up to do you will have come 1st April, it will be an MSE marathon :D
    Just keep swimming!
  • Hi thank you for the birthday messages. I will have lots of catching up to do and I cant wait.
    I have to confess we are not fully unpacked the house is looking to nice to unpack everything lol I am going to leave it packed and if no-one misses anything by easter I am car booting it lol
    Money wise I am really missing the internet, I am unable to complete surveys, check my bank, ebay my rubbish, check for glitches (my shopping bill was huge!!).
    DD2 was ill last week with a cold and if she gets a cold I have to watch her really carefully as she chokes on her own bile, when she was 9 weeks old she went blue and the doctor who was present at the time called her an ambulance, well she did it again last week and DH was at work and I had no phone (DH had got me a mobile for my birthday which delivery had been delayed) the neighbours were on holiday fortunately 5 hard slaps and she was fine DH went out that evening and got me a mobile.

    Anyway I didnt pop on to moan, if I can figure out the internet on my new mobile I should be able to catch up on everyones diarys while collecting DS from school.

    You'll be super busy when you get the internet. There will be many surveys and probably 99% of them will have closed by then.

    Trust you're getting some decent weather in your neck of the woods. :)

    Take care. :D

  • Still no internet and no indication of when we will get it! The amount of time we have spent on the phone to sky and they just wont sort it out, next step will be OFCOM.

    Money wise things are going to get even tighter as DH wants to go back to UNI he is in the process of looking for a part time job, and going through all the available grants to see if we can survive it and keep our current house.

    Hope everyone is well, and NTO keep me updated on those glitches!!

  • I am still about sort of I cant load anyones diarys etc on my phone as it says page to large so will have lots and lots of catching up to do. Its really annoying me now I rely on the internet I know I shouldn't but have done for years.

    Sorry NTO I missed your question about uni, I dont mind we are screwed moneywise anyway and by the time he finishes and gets into teaching our credit rating should have repaired itself, and hopefully if we are accepted for fostering I can save as much as possible as it is all tax free and pay off my car and save for a deposit and pay debts. I hope to clear the car loan first as this is a crippling £265 p/m. Whilst he is currently earning good money he is also doing well at spending it while on the road all day. I think he would make a good teacher.

    Did you get my PM? Have you cleared the van loan now?
