    Thanks, Taxi.

    I had a bit of a panic yesterday when doing my spreadsheet/banking - I was "out" by over £200 and not in the right way!! Spent an age adding up, re-adding and panicking that I had "lost" £200 of receipts somewhere along the way, before I realised that my 7 key on the keyboard is sticking so wherever a 7 was included on the spreadsheet, it was missing!!

    Thankfully, a few firm presses of the 7 key put everything right, but boy did I panic for a while!!

    Hi hypno - okay, tbh, I'm glad you can get your arithmetic wrong too - mind you, I'm just bad, even with a calculator....

    Anyway, hope you look at going private for the physio and claiming back, no reason you shouldn't if your doc says you need it, tho I hope your cash flow could stand it.

    Other thing - did you see on the freebies thread that there's 100 free nectar points available to people with a car? From Ford, I think. They want the reg no, so I'm trying to work out if its worth using my friend's registration number. Probably not... but you should go for it!

    Hi Hypno,

    I suppose at least cos you were £200 out the wrong way it meant you kept going through the figures until you found the mistake - imagine if you thought you had £200 extra & had in your excitement transferred it to a debt!

    Hope you're Dr can help with physio for your wrists, if you point out that it's affecting your ability to work then it might help to scoot you up the queue maybe?

    Just got back from taking DS to holiday activity for the day - mustn't forget to collect him at 3 :rolleyes:

    Went to sainsburys and sorry to say I went over my available nectar points by £5.83, but in my defence I did buy lots of fruit, masses of pasta and bread to go in the freezer. I think I got a good amount for my dosh, but I did so want to keep it to my points value!!

    Oh well........

    Bah, Costa coffee.....costa bloody fortune coffee more like! :D

    Glad you had a good night at the concert, and just wanted to say thanks very much for the stuff you pm'd me - I've tried to pm you back although I'm not sure if it worked because my computer doesn't like me very much at the moment. It's really appreciated anyway xxx

    Hi Snaggles, PM received! Hope it helps in some way.

    Just got back from the docs and she is putting me forward for urgent physio because of my work, so I just have to wait and see. I have to go back and see her in a week if things are still painful.

    I have lots of paperwork to do today, but don't feel like it!! Perhaps I will indulge on MSE until lunchtime, then get a couple of hours paperwork done before I go and get DS from his activity before I have to continue the mummy taxi job and take them both to karate!

    Glad I went to the concert last night - it reminded me that I do have a life too :rotfl:

    Hiya
    Glad you enjoyed the concert and hope you get that refund soon! I lost 20p in the car today and you'd have thought it was a £50 note the way I was trying to find it. Still don't know where it went, lol! I've a million bits of paper work to do today too but am avoiding it nicely. Need to take DD to brownie camp in 20 minutes but at least I don't need to remember to pick her up till friday! DON'T FORGET 3 O'CLOCK!!!!

    ooh, brownie camp, that takes me back a year or two!!

    Well, my admin is not getting done, and I haven't had lunch yet either!! I have sorted out a birthday present for my nephew though, so that is one small thing ticked off a very large list!!
