    Hi Emz,

    Good to hear you're back and still pushing forward. That's quite a to do list there! I hope you get it all done. I should do a few lists for the week too!

    Well done to your OH too. He sounds like he's making great strides forward. Your great influence I assume? :D

    Thanks MT :). I should get it all done as OH is away tomorrow night with work.

    Not sure it's my influence. I think he's just fed up of having no money.

    Also forgot to mention that I won 66p on JPJ this morning (woohoo!!) and I've just redeemed for £5 on Cheeky Bingo from BP. Let's hope I get a win with that.

    Hello

    Sorry I've been absent again. OH has been off work which hasn't helped (he is doing shifts due to the Olympics). Fortunately he's working most of the weekend :). He disrupts my day when he's at home.

    We went to see his parents yesterday. Took us ages to get there and when we finally got there, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. Fortunately they had a chat about everything (with me sat there casually looking around the room like I wasn't listening!!) and they seem to be okay - for now anyway.

    Very exciting day for me today - I can pick up my new iPhone :j. Finally got to order it on Wednesday. I've been waiting so long for one :D.

    Be back later.

    I know :j. OH has had one for ages and he was originally going to give it to me for my birthday, but he liked it so much I told him to keep it and he gave me £100 for clothes instead. Now I've upgraded my mum's contract (which I am going to take over now and put her on Giffgaff as she just doesn't use the minutes), I've got a better model than OH's and he's jealous :rotfl:. Good things come to those who wait!! :cool:
