PiqWell actually ......in for a penny and all that, I threw a pair of Louboutins into the bargain as well !!! :rotfl::rotfl:
Serves us right for not getting around to taking out boiler cover.
Thankfully we had the money although it was from my Full and Final fund which is now severely depleted.
Mr Pinot has just walked in much earlier than expected and is very tired, worried and stressed by it all. I need to go and calm him down and pour him a glass of Pinot and convince him that all will be fine . Its very unlike him to show his worry , so he must be concerned .
Have a lovely evening everyone.LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

We have lovely hot water not thankyou Teatime and a warm house, but unfortunately have received more bad news this evening which I cant detail I'm afraid.
Still tryign to cheer Mr Pinot up, Ive tried everything I can think of....well most things, but nothing is working at the moment.
I hate to see him so down and worried, its so very unusual for him and I am at a bit of a loss as to how I can get through to him that things could be soo much worse and infact were this time last year.
Oops got to dash, DD2 just called from bed and her mouth is bleeding ! Yuk ! :eek:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Ok, it was her tooth,s hes just pulled it out after lots of blood and it making a rather disgusting cracking noise ! Having sent Mr Pinot off to clear up the mess in the sink I am going to sit in a quiet corner and pray to the tooth fairies that can still afford a little bit of money for the Tooth Fairy Pot after todays expenditure !! :A
Wish me luck !!! xxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Oh PG so sorry to hear you are having such an awful time at the moment. Hope Mr PG and DD2 are ok now. Hope your awful news sorts itself out soon and that you get some restful sleep tonight.
Just remember you may have had to take from your F&F fund but last year you would have had to put it all on credit, so definitely a step in the right direction.
I love DD2s quote at the top, we are all doing this slowly but steadily and are changing our endings bit by bit.

Aww Pinot, what a crap, expensive day. But like grannyx2 says, at least you had the money to pay for it. Think about this time last year.......
Hope the rest of your bad news sorts itself out quickly, and keep that chin up. Would it be too forward of me to give Mr Pinot a virtual hug too? xLBM Dec 2011. Aimed, but failed, to clear all unsecured debt by Feb 2019. Finally free of unsecured debt 21st May 21!
