Blimey Pinot !!! And I thought my life was a drama
Hats off to you though for smiling through it all - your diary always reads as a very positive one, even when things aren't going so great. Must be a nightmare having such erratic payments coming in.
Keep smiling xThe final chapter - £4893 to go out of £30K0 -
As we had the pleasure of money arriving yesterday, I trundled off to A£da today in my lovely bumped and scratched car to do a big shop. The last was July, so my cupboards really were resembling old mother Hubbard !
The Girls had been left with instructions, to initial, check and pack dance costumes in preparation for the shows and to write a list as they went along of things they still needed.
For once I happily trundled around the store stocking up on loo roll, shampoo, face powder ( that ran out in July :eek:) rabbit and cat bits they needed urgently and I didn't have time to buy elsewhere. I arrived at the checkout pleased with my wares to find a whole bottle of rabbit cage disinfectant had leaked its entire contents into my trolley :eek:
Two hours later I finally left having wiped down each and every item and decided whether the disinfectant had or haden't contaminated our food and if it would or wouldn't kill us ! :rotfl: The checkout girl was great and somehow we laughed and smiled through it despite us both being covered in it and all sticky and smelly. The ladies whose job it was to replace the food and mop the floor as it had seeped out were not so jolly. I fact they were downright miserable ! As the girl on the checkout pointed out I could quite easily demand that they replace the whole shop and not just a few odd items and I was perfectly happy to try and clean everything down myself rather than being a jumpy up and down irate customer !
Anyway that was another drama or the weekend ! Tomorrows another day ! :rotfl:
Oh made £40 on EBay over the weekend.
Alice I thought today was 1st October, therefore we are in next month, maybe there really is no hope for me !!LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Oh no! Horrible smell! Poor little cat is definitely under the weather still, collar and drain taking their toll.

Oh no Mrs PG. I come back to work after a week off and see you've had a very eventful week to say the least.
My week of peace and quiet didn't realistically happen as the OH was signed off work again, I'm being very patient with him but when it's been going on this long and he is making no signs of going back no matter what drugs the doctors give him to make sitting at a desk bearable it's hard. Especially when he can sit at his computer to play games with me... He gets very wound up when I keep telling him to sit straight or to stop sitting cross legged on a computer chair(!)
I love him but I just want him to work and not get stuck in a rut, he's about to be made redundant and I just want him to be able to go into another job. Last time he was out of work was for 2 years and that thought scares me, he's only 29. Thankfully I've survived the redundancies at my work and hopefully there won't be any more, the pay rise I got in August means we can survive on just my wage but I don't want to.
Right off to go figure out what I need to do before I have my morning wasted by meetings.HSBC CC - £3000 / £3000
Halifax CC - £1032.77 / £1032.77

Oh crumbs, what a few days!! Hope this week is significantly better for you xx0
