    Happy Good Friday All

    Well was up nice and early this morning as OH told me at 6.00 am that "we" (dont you just love the royal we) had forgotten so things when we went shopping yesterday.

    So I as in Asda by 8am as I couldnt bear the thought of the big crowd crush again:o Managed to get a medium size chicken on the whopsied counter which is now safely in the freezer:j

    I have calmed down after yesterdays "card issues" and the bank have already refunded the money taken :D

    Have called parents, and other friends today for quick catch up, been a bit worried about Dad as he has recently had yet another fall :(

    So whats on the list today:

    WM on, clothes on the line -DONE
    Clean cooker:eek:-
    Take photos for Fleabay-
    Finish filing/shredding -
    Update spreadsheets (received annual statements for a couple of debts in post yesterday)-
    Find statements /phone numbers to call CC etc which no statements received tomorrow)-
    Bake lemon Drizzle cake (the one I should have made last week:rotfl:)
    Catch up Diaries -nearly done
    Chill out( It is a long weekend after all)

    Have a great weekend everyone whatever you are doing

  • Hi NRA, pleased to see you've had a good Easter and not worked yourself too hard. :D We had DS2's birthday party on Friday/Saturday so had a houseful of teenage boys! Saturday afternoon was spent reclaiming the house! :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear about the problem with your card. Thank goodness you had another card to use. As you say, it's a good thing you check your account every day. :) I hope all the cars in the NRA household are now roadworthy for another 12 months.

    Enjoy the rest of your Easter. :D

    Hi Kerri and Mrs Fluffy:wave:

    Glad to hear you are both well and thanks for popping by.

    Well last night the "hormones" returned with avengeance and I went to bed at 8.30:o Woke up a few times in need of paracetomal and then didnt wake up until 8.15 this morning:eek:.

    To be honest glad it was today and not tomorrow as I am due to do my first full day back in the office.

    Needless to say I have decided not to overdo things today, Will have LO lamb from yesterday for dinner. OH is going to his mums after work to watch football so peace and quiet until about 10.00pm :j

    Actually I had thought about a visit to Mr A but have decided if I stay in it will be a NSD which makes more sense.:D

    Catch you later

    Just finished reading your diary so I'm all up to date :) I quite admire the fact you can still live with your ex, I'd probably have killed mine by now if I had to live with him.

    Sorry to hear about your card, although it has reminded me to keep a close eye on what goes on with my account just in case similar things happen. Although I only use mine in well-known retailers and p-pal for anything online. I do get really antsy when they take my card behind the counter though, and start panicking if they so much as try to move it out of sight.

    Hope your first full day goes ok tomorrow. xx

    Strange thing is Kerri I nearly always use cash, and have only used it to pay a couple of things on sites such as DVLA!!! but the bank said it could have been just bad luck on my part:eek:

    Hope your first full day goes ok tomorrow. xx

    Thank you, so do I will try to get to bed early tonight although I did fall asleep this afternoon for an hour:o

    Have a good evening
