  • Just have to talk to myself then ..... :rotfl:

    Just checked and I've been refunded by the seller for the damaged storage unit (incl p&p which I was a bit worried about) - have to say, totally hassle free :T

    One of the really annoying things (apart from the fact that I really wanted / needed ;) it) is - as it came fully assembled (apart from the beeping wheels) was the delivery box was absolutely enormous.

    I had it ear-marked for putting over the cats new litter tray (which is hoodless) - it's totally ginormous and I'll never get another box big enough!

    Just tallied up what I have to pay out this month & might be able to clear £100 off it:T (which will be down to deciding not to pay to the Other pot & less fuel costs)

    Conscious that Dec-Jan and Jan-Feb are both going to be 5 week months :eek: (still wish we didn't get paid early in December:() so thinking it may be better to clear £50 and put £50 into my savings pot (in case of emergency)

    If it's still there at the end of Feb, I can transfer it back to the OD .... what'd you think?

    ETA or leave it as it is, put the £100 into emergency savings ... and work really hard to get rid of it next year!

  • I'm here... in between writing statement for job application on the unspeakably ridiculous portal thing.

    It took me a while to move from paper to phone and I have only done it once I had a smartphone, but I do find it easier now. All my contacts get saved to my Google accounts as well, so I don't have to worry if I lose the phone. And I can pick up personal email on there. I have a couple of little apps for checklists and memos, and I ought to sort out a budget one.

    Little cat suddenly decided last night she really really wanted to go in the garden. At 11 pm. That's the same garden she had been refusing to go in all week because it was too new and scary. Small black cat disappeared off in full moonlight... :rotfl:

    Must have a look and get a bit more "up" on these things (I do have Google*mail on my smartphone:o)

    My DF (who's nearly 80!) sent me an email earlier about something (still not quite sure what it's all about:o) to do with his Tablet :p:p and I actually had to go & search to try to find out what he was talking about :rotfl: - and then didn't understand it when I found it :o

  • Oh lordy ..... when did she come back in :eek: I hate mine being out at night:eek:

    I don't normally let mine out past 10pm, but there's not much I can do if they go out earlier and don't come back by then (I don't have a cat flap). I was waiting on big mog coming back anyway and thought she'd just scoot across the garden and come back in like she had done all week. She had a good couple of hours exploring and I didn't get to bed til half midnight :mad:

    Tonight she's also been out but has just come in and I won't let her out again now. We just need big mog to turn up again and if he's late this time I really will go to bed and leave him to sleep in his kennel.

    I'm glad little mog did go though, she'd been looking longingly at the garden all the time she had to stay in and then suddenly got scaredy after the vet trip for her second vacc. She's probably been having a fabulous time exploring.
