hi all :j little update

My sisterhasnt said anything more yet. I hope she doesnt mention it again :rolleyes: My camera cow is looking a little more healthy. It was touch and go if my brother will give me my cash as he wasnt payed overtime but he has sorted a way around it. However i am still not holding my breath beacuse i wont until i have the cash :rotfl: However I was given some cash from my mums oh fror birthday so i have £80 here, £60 my brother was going to give me and £40 in my bank left over Therefore i have £180 to spend monday and £30 vouchers :T. Worked out though that i can buy some xmas gifts (toietries only) for next year with some of that and also i can buy a camera case.

I have just brought my mums birthday gift online from another homemade maker mse and i shall buy my book for my circle journal i am doing with some mse'r that will leave me around £9 as a cushion in my current account untill payday. However if i dont spend all the money from my camera cow then it will go into my current account and ultimately into savings or off my argos card :j

wooo hooo

happy new year

:j :j :j just opened my post ~ bt bill. now i dont know if any of you will remember. I did post on here ages ago and they were raising my bill to £75 per month. This was because we had no phone package and the calls were being ran up. I had to call them to reduce it though ~ it used to be £30 and they dropped it to £65.

Well today i have had my last quarter bill, the first real bill now i have added the phone package at no extra cost to me as its covered with what i pay for house keeping. Well the debit balance (so i guess thats the debt/yet to pay on the account) is only £26.55 :j. Now i have put a package on mum only has to pay me for mobile/premimum calls so basically thats what this £26.55 is.

So fingers crossed they may well allow me to reduce the payment going to them as technically per quater we only spend £48.38 on the package, £68.91 on my broadband £4.46 on calling features and £24.13 vat so a total of £145.88 per quater (minus extra calls) so per year £583.52. At the momment i am paying £65.00 per month which means i am paying them £780.00 per year ~ an extra £196.48 extra.

So heres hoping i can get it reduced a little?

Oi oi Pap, how are you?
I know how you feel about a birthday so close to Christmas, mine is on 4th of January, and my brother almost always forgets. After the Christmas rush I think he relaxes a little, and my birthday sneaks up on him. I usually get a box of chocs, or something you can tell not a lot of thought went in & bought quickly.
It annoys me as I like to make sure everyone gets something special, that means a lot, I always put a lot of effort in.

Hi raph, I just read about your brother not getting you a terr, fingers crossed for your birthday . I am the same at putting the effort in, next year i am not bothering with any of my family. I am sick and tired of trying :rolleyes:

Anyways are you working new year in the office?

Pap,

I cant say what I think of your sister on here, I would be banned :mad:

Let's just say I cant believe someone could be so ungrateful. Dont try so hard in future, she doesnt deserve it.

The cake sounds lovely, hope you have a good day.

spud ~ well this is it. I wouldnt mind people complaining if they made an effort for me but to be honest you can tell she didnt bother for me. I guess thats life, i am not making an effort next year. They will all get the same ~ a handmade scarf or a handmade soft toy, a handmade toiletries and money/vouchers that i can get through pigsback/quidco (max £30 each). I cant be doing with anything any more.

skint ~ thanks my brother just gave me my xmas cash so i now have enough for my camera and i reserved it online. So i am collecting that when the store opens. I also need printer paper and i am going to hobby craft to spend my vouchers (£30). Most will be on wool for xmas gifts but i fancy some more stamp ink . Then home here to chill as a a treat in the evening i have 2 cans of pinaplle and i shall buy some cheese tommrow :rotfl: woo hoo
