Weekly Flylady Thread 24th April 2012

Mumto5

Very frustrating day.

I lost my clubcard plus last week and telephoned for a new one. It has arrived today but I have to set up a 6 digit security code to activate it - and have to wait another week for it to come through. 2 weeks to get a replacement card that I am able to use. !!!!!! I just want to spend my own money:mad:.

I've done loads of ironing but there is still loads to do:(

DS1 has sorted out his work experience. It starts on 14th May.

No bra decoration attempted.

My sister has had a scan today and baby is full term. By her dates she is 38 weeks on Sunday. She is actually due on the day of the Moonwalk but I think she will go late. I'm confused now they say she is full term. I've only had 5 kids what do I know?

mumto5.. maybe they meant the baby isn't classed as prem any more if it arrived now. 37-42 being full term.

Beasts collected from school 2 off to KH's the others are out or refusing to go.. I'm so pleased I get my evening off once a fortnight.. gosh I'm lucky!... to$$er.. I really despise his pig faced, self righteous, selfish, self absorbed, KH self.. honestly, I need a good offloading session I think! Apparently the girls can't stay over tonight because it isn't 'his' weekend to have them and he simply doesn't want them.. it'd be nice to have a choice! *whites out KH rant*

Ok.. that out of my system slightly..

I have dinner for 8 to sort..

Oh sod it.. HHC anyone while Dot is asleep????? 3:45-4:15.. see if I can stir OH up too..

We got back from school to find an invading feline in the front room..

lil_me

Invading feline eeek Hope your KH ex finds his karma soon!

Well DP was 'unwell' today so just the doors on but at least that's progress. Somehow however we have lost a door, it's 92x60cm so not little but can we heck find it... I've bought the fixings to put the other things up to store shoes, coats & for the downstairs loo so no messing once he's up to doing it. He is on about taking DS1 fishing on Sunday so I won't moan for him to do them until after then.

I got my list done, did the PO run. Got a card for my friend who lost her nearly 8 years old son last week sorted some more laundry as DS2s bed wetting is back no doubt transition worries, went to GP 6 more medications joys, cleaned up the garden, done some more sorting, bought £20 of fruit veg & eggs, roasted some bendy veg & thrown in SC to make soup / pasta sauce .....not a bad day so far I guess.

Hmmm what to do tonight, think I might be lazy and do paperwork sorting

mrs-moneypenny

AAArrrgghhh..am so mad:mad::mad: part of my list tonight was to call CC to ask if intererst rate can be reduced as I had written to them and they sent me a letter back saying they understand my position and I must be going through a difficult time but prefer to talk to their customers in person, so here is how the conversation went
Me - I sent a letter in asking if interest rate of 34.9% (card to build up credit profile after DMP) could be reduced
Her - you pay 2.5% monthly interest, 34.9% apr & we will inform you of any interest free periods?
Me - I understand that but I am calling to ask if interest can be reduced on my card as you asked me to call after I sent in a letter
Her - You need to apply for a card online
Me - I already have a card, I just want the interest reduced as it is extremely high
Her - Yes you need to go online & apply for a new card
Me - I already have a card with you, I just want to ask if interest rate can be reduced
Her - You need to apply online for a new card as we cannot change the interest rate on the card you have
Me- OK FINE :mad::mad::mad:
Her - Is there anything else I can help you with tonight
Me - No that will be all thanks:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Another letter on its way, I hate to say it but the woman could hardly speak a word of English, I felt as if she wasn't getting what I was calling about :mad:

Another note, EDF called tonight and will refund my bank charges if I send them proof their fault not mine, its only £24 but every little helps

So my flying list for tonight :rotfl::rotfl:contacted CC company and cleared cobwebs, just cupboard fronts to wash and then.....wine o clock....sorry such a long post, had to vent
