    Afternoon all, been busy here in the garden getting all done before the rain comes. So gardens cut, polytunnel watered and weeded, rubbish and broken toys lifted. Then came in and had a snooze.

    Good news today is that i'm starting sign language classes....:D So DD will be dragged with me to keep me right and to help her with some signs she doesn't know. I'm very excited about it...

    *question non-flying related*
    OH has missed 6 payments to paypal and for every payment missed (5 are for under a fiver and 1 for £22) the bank is going to charge him £28. I spoke to the bank and she told me they couldn't change it because the computer puts the charges on. I explained that OH doesn't be well at time and suffers from mental health problem (should have kept my mouth shut) so she said they would only charge him 3 sets out of the 6. Then she went on to say that she would have to discuss his account with their legal team and then she would get back to me. Can the bank do anything because he has mental health problems, such as try to close his account? Any help would be great...

    LW big hugs sweetie. xx
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Huge hugs for you Vanilla, it must be so stressful. I don't know the answer but there is an MSE guide here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cards/mental-health-guide

    I suppose I dont have any more excuses not to rejoin you guys now that my degree is finished:j:j:j

    Sat my last ever exam on friday, can't believe i'm done! The time has flown by, find out my results 2 weeks tomorrow:eek: Very scared, though I know the 'worst' degree I can get is a 2:1 so I guess that's not too shabby, would like a 1st though:) Will need to wait and see, messed up my last exam though:( Hope it doesnt ruin my chances of a 1st.

    Hope everyone is ok, hi to all the regulars and new faces:wave:

    My house looks like a bomb has hit it! Need to get back on track.

    Evening

    Just having my HH me time x 3 while watching BGT then I will go and do something in the bedroom but probably not whats on the list ;). I accidentally (on purpose) clicked the wrong button on my Next order and had to sneak it into the house so now DH has gone to work I can unpack and see what fits/looks ok. It was all half price apart from a jumper for DS to replace the lambswool one I shrunk :eek: so not so bad. Hopefully will do something from the list as well.

    vanilla - I really hope you have some luck re the charges, it must be really hard having to deal with Dh's mishaps. Good luck with the sign language too.

    Anyone 'seen'embb, I didnt see her posting much since the party/bunny incident. Hope all ok.

    Love and huggles to all the poorlies, with special thoughts for LadyLiberty, Toots and LW
