I know its off topic but hope someone can help.

I have been getting calls from a 844 number. They dont speak when I pick it up. But soon as I say hello a voice says my refund from my personal protection insurance is ready. They want me to press 5 on the phone. I havent done this as Im suspecting its a scam.

yup thats defo a scam. dont press 5! hang up.

my dad has now decided to sand and gloss my doors in my hallway. so much for trying to get cleanliness back in this house!!

I've already done my bedroom this week, including washing the bedding. I've got most of my Christmas drink too, been buying something with each Asda delivery.

Hopefully I will be going out tomorrow so I won't be doing much flying although I'm pretty much up together and just want to run the vacuum round downstairs. I'm hoping I'll get my voice back by the morning.....

Dustykitten

I've tried doing the stars but I'm having trouble with them displaying. Please shout if yours are wrong and I'll try again tomorrow.

Polly hope your voice comes back over night.

Going to set the WM and empty the DW and then off to bed.

Note to self page 2

Loving the Glad Game (because it's part of my personal philosophy) hence my comment to Greenbee last week about her knowing her tear ducts weren't blocked;) SHE wasn't playing then :rotfl: and stuck her virtual tongue out at ME :rotfl:

been busy - did an extra day this week to take my Y3 class to the NUSEUM (apparently;)) and an extra day last week to take my Y5s to valliland to look at Victorians BUT am glad have been able to leave washing out and it dried! So Ironing done and laundry basket almost empty. House is a tip though but who cares? (Me actually but at least no-one's complaing;))

Anyway gpot a short week next week *mops brow*

last night came home, got washing out, went to union meeting (am rep and have 1 member LOL) came home and took DD up the comp to look at 6th form.

and breathe.

Have done ironing and hot spot clearing tonight anyway...and I still haven't found my posh parker pen *sigh* but I got some more pens at the union meeting so can be glad about that;)

Things are so hectic we have had a chippy tea - 1 portion of chips does us all:money:and a mini fish each is plenty!:cool: because DD had a 30 minute tea-eating interval after school (extra study) and before guitar lesson. I filled the car up (and was on a red light :eek:) thanks to Fuel Britannia and picked DD up only slightly late, having filled the tyres too, then we nipped to Asda where, IMO, they KNOW how to whoopsie - 5p each for two bags of clementines, mini quiches for 15p (in freezer);) and various other bargains - and vino -
and I took a BAGFUL of packages to the PO today *FLING!!!!*

PS Extra days unpaid BTW.

Dinner done. Just need to tidy up and make a cake.

Lists up for tomorrow, stars to follow in a bit.

Do you go into rooms and forget why you have gone in there? This link explains why this may happen.

Thanks - that's reassuring!:rotfl:
Is it just me - I'm seeing the same Challenge under personal Challenges and Xmas Challenges for Friday.... or have I just lost the plot?:o

Boddy it's deffo a scam. There's a lot of that sort about at the mo, unfortunately; I had a rash of texts with similar content a while back.

Dustykitten

Lamewolf it that was my error doing it in a hurry, I have corrected it and I know tomorrow's is hard for you hence the alternative x

Thursday Festive Food
Although stir up Sunday has just passed it’s not too late to make a pudding or a cake. My fantastic pudding recipe can be made just a week in advance. Have you got all the recipes and ingredients you need for any festive dishes? Cake boards and decorations to hand? Chocolate Yule logs are fun for kids and those who love chocolate.

- xmas cakes baked weeks ago and are due for a feed on saturday. I may make another before the time (alcohol free) but have all ingredients for that.

Night all xx
