    Great news about the inheritance; Happy Debt-Busting days! :T
  • Thanks for popping by everyone :)

    No news on any f&f letters, money being received by SC or anything, urgh, I am so impatient! :D

    Been busy this morning had a stay and play at DS2 new school (DD school...) and he is going into the same class as DD is in now :T he was a little confused though as he thought she would be there too but she had moved up to year 1 for the morning to meet her new teachers. Poor DS2 he can't quite grasp that he's not going to be in the same class as his sister. Good news is that the children I am looking after, their youngest is going into the same class as DS2. So will only have 3 classrooms to find and not 4 as I previously thought :eek:!

    We have got a carnival back at the school at 2 so I can't really do anything or go anywhere as haven't the time. Then the plan is for ds1 to look after ds2 & dd whilst I whizz over to @sda later with my chairs that i've sold to meet the lady there to sell them! Good news also we have a bid on one of our 2 items that we had left over :T so we've managed to sell everything bar one thing! :j That item will finish on Sunday so will arrange collection next week sometime. Hopefully they will manage to find their way to my house this time rather than me having to squeeze things in my car (furniture is not small!!!) and find them!

    Not a nsd today, bought some iron supplements from a lady this morning. The exact ones I was about to buy at the pharmacy, for half the price. How lucky was that :T I will start taking them every other or every 3rd day just to keep my iron levels up. Dr mentioned I should be doing this at last appointment but I kind of forgot :o Have massive headaches again and dizziness and tiredness is back majorly so hoping these supplements will rectify that. And quick!

    Need to re-pot a runner bean plant today and also a radish one (both from nursery/school) they are huge! I expected them to die so potted them in a small jar and put in kitchen window. Well the runner bean one is about a metre high :eek: so best re-pot that lol. I've found some old pots behind the shed but we need some compost so will pick some up later. DH is away tonight so I promised the kids a take-away, should be cheap-ish as only 4 of us, but we'll see as DS1 is a right pig! :eek: !

    Oh and I received my new card from the bank so that is all sorted and hopefully this one won't be cloned ;) I now need to set the new card up to all the accounts I usually use online which will take ages!

    Ok well i'm off for a sneaky 40 winks as DD was up all night coughing and i'm tired so will catch you all later :)

  • Enjoy your nana nap!
    Trying to shift that debt!
  • I didn't get my nap! Boooo! The phone rang! The cold caller at the other end got off and by that point it was too late to bother going back to bed! Fleabay item dropped off, lady loved the items :) and £57 in my pocket! I got home and was so tired we had a subway for dinner as they deliver! £20 though :eek:!!! Did not like paying for that :eek: but kids enjoyed it and no washing up and we've not had a take out in ages!

    DD & DS2 are not best of friends today. DD turned round to DS2 and told him he was not allowed in to her party and she wasn't inviting him anymore! So DS2 obviously turned round and told DD the same. Let's hope they make up before the party, otherwise, imagine their surprise/horror when they realise it's a joint party, at the same venue and at the same time :rotfl::rotfl:Oh and they have mutual friends going. That could be quite funny actually :rotfl:

    I changed gas & elec suppliers a while back and have tried to get a final bill from np0wer but they keep telling me to log on to their site and access the bill that way. So I log on, there is no bill, so I email them and then nada, zilch, nothing. Haven't heard a thing?! I've put some money aside from the month that the change over happened as I had a really cheap bill that month...but obviously I want to know how much I owe so I can go about finding money to pay it! It can't be often they get chased by a customer to pay their bill so you'd think they'd be right on the ball? But nope! :rotfl:ah well!
