Well first, I'm here, popping in and out of diary land myself these days, not enough hours in the day lately.

Now, here is your wine glass filled with some lovely bubbly stuff for tonight -

Here's a bottle to top it up --

Well done on the £20k, you have done amazingly well.

Morning PG and groupies


Anyone have an unsecured loan with Northern Rock? Fingers crossed for refunds!

Mine show opening balance from last statement but not the original. Not sure where I stand. They are allegedly writing to all affected in the next week.

Hope some of you get lucky.

I cant help with images, I am useless, same as with photos. I would have posted some of the Pastry Brush Pie, but I think you need Facebook to post photos which I dont have. xx

Didnt have time to post yesterday , was a very hectic day. We had a few meetings with clients. Three more days work came in for next week , so thats good news and a potential short contract, only a couple of weeks work, but thats good as most of our contracts are pretty short anyway. IT may be in t e UK or overseas, we will have to wait and see if it comes to anything yet.

Otherwise, family still intact after my cooking the other day.I have since made a lovely Leek and Potato soup with nothing nasty swimming in it ! Mr PG cooked last night, another Jamies 15 min meal, they are becoming a firm favourite in the Pinot Household. Sadly it took Mr PG an hour and a half to make but he was supervising homework and is also a bit of a perfectionist ! It was worth the wait.

The whole evening was taken up with DD1's hospital appointments and then homework supervision. She had a mountain of GCSE Coursework lumped on her last night , to be in today. She apparently has a controlled assesment next Friday but was only told yesterday. It appears the rest of the class were advised weeks ago when she was at hospital, but the information didnt filter through to her. Between us we spent from 5 until 9.30 pm only stopping for dinner, putting together the information she needs. Crazy and stressful particularly as she should have been resting after hospital and was white as a sheet and exhausted. We didnt quite finish it, but I had to help her, I couldnt leave her to do it on her own. She had to obtain, drag and drop etc loads of information.Not particularly taxing but there was a hell of a lot of it. I cant quite get my head around this controlled assesment malarky as I am wondering what they will actually do in the assesment itself if they are taking loads of information in with them. Back in the day an exam was exam, you didnt take notes in with you !!! DD1 has no idea what is expected in the exam and I am unsure if even what we did last night was correct as the teacher wouldnt explain to her, just wrote three lines on the board and told her to copy it. This is 20% of her GCSE so I feel more input on the teachers part would have been good. She also threatened to call home if she didnt do the work last night to tell us that DD1 wasnt working hard enough and she was behind, before then back tracking and admitting she knew that she had missed lesson due to the hospital, but if it wasnt done she would be calling home anyway. Should I speak to her I will remind her that she has been asked to provide DD1 with every piece of information she has missed but hasnt done so !! I called the school last night , but the teacher had gone home.

So thats my early morning moan................................on with the day !!!

Gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited two more days, just called them and they say it wont be paid until the 23rd December. That helps with Christmas around the corner.

Grrr, tell them in the season of goodwill this is not acceptable and surely it can't be paid on the 23rd that's a Sunday, are they insane? In this day and age it should not take over 6 working days to pay an invoice that is already overdue.
