I will do KW, but I know its going to be a complete battle to get the money out of them. OH doesn't want them in the house anymore. If I thought I could get away with it (without it causing all out war) I'd phone them on holiday and say either come and get your dogs now or get someone else today. We've still got two weeks to go till they're back. OH said (to me) shall we take them through the night they get back? I've said no as if thats what they've done to my house i'm not having them in my car besides I want SIL and BIL to see what their dogs have done. The back lawn is wrecked. OH is snapping at me and I'm snapping at him. Totally fed up, I know when they get back from their holiday they'll claim they're totally skint. Same with SS he owes me £240, decided if he doesn't pay it I'm claiming all the DVDs in his room to sell (its a threat I wouldn't actually do it). Angry OH said yes in the first place to us looking after the dogs but I don't think he realised just how badly behaved they are.
OH is starting work this afternoon, he had sounded so pleased about it (in a text) then when I picked him up all he did was moan about how he'd get there. Er, bus? No, he might not like it but he's been saying for a year now about learning to drive and done nothing about it. No excuses now he's stopped smoking.
Sorry I'm ranting, still full of this cold, my head is splitting (went to bed when I got home from work last night, OH woke me up with a cuppa and a slice of leftover pizza.....his attempt at making me feel better). My only little solace this morning was a really nice blueberry muffin I'd bought yesterday which I had for breakfast with a cuppa.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -
:eek: :mad:
Guess that'll be added on to list for SILs bill for when they get back....! And if they can afford dogs and a holiday in the first place then being too 'skint' to pay you back is an unacceptable answer!
I'd be tempted to shift them elsewhere too! I would not be happy with that. A few days is manageable - when they're well behaved and at the best of times. What you've got to deal with?! No thank you! Hope OH realises his 'mistake' and doesn't agree to something like that again!!
Yup. Claim the DVDs too. And the DVD player. And Xbox/OS or whatever he has
Confiscate and hide at least, let on you've sold them til he coughs up 
I looooooooooove blueberry muffins!!! Tesco and Asda both do a 4 pack for £1 and they're both yum! Would prefer A's though for whatever reason...
Hope your Friday improves

Thanks HAW, feeling a bit better. Just had large baked potato with tuna and cheese for lunch. Feeling stuffed.
Pay has come in on time but I'll sort out bills later. As I get paid weekly I put aside an amount each that by the end of the month will cover all bills but I try and pay cc's as they appear and pay extra when I can.
HAW, off to have a nosey at your diary then over to OS.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

I had a very healthy salad for a change. Getting a bit fed up with ham sarnies but they're just too handy!

Meeting mum for a coffee in about 5 mins too which I'm looking forward to!
Yay for pay. Lets hope it lasts!!
Ok :cool: (don't think there's much excitement in my life at the min though!! lol)
EDIT:
Just did my 30 'cupboard' squats

I'm noticing a difference doing my squats. Went into town today and all OH did was moan. Ok he has a cold so do I, he's tired, yeah so am I he could at least sleep ALL day whilst I was at work where as by time I took him to his night shift came home slept then got up and went and got him I'd be lucky if I got 6 hours sleep. He's now sleeping on the sofa and snoring. I've made myself dinner and I'm enjoying a glass of wine. ....just need to turn the tv up so I can hear it above his snoring!!!!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

:rotfl: Give him a poke to get him to shift position. Works with my OH!!

Didn't manage my squats today - have company in the office so too embarrassed!!
Also didn't do any over the weekend, but considering I was up and down a ladder multiple times (cleaning gutters/washing windows/painting fascias) I figured I could bow out!
Hope rest of weekend went well

Thanks HAW, unfortunately OH got told last night the company where he's working don't need him after Thursday. Neither of us are particularly chuffed! He still owes me a lot of money (£700) and I know it wouldn't be too long before he gets another job but its the gap inbetween and the effect it has on both of us. Fed up seeing the bad people (and the ones that definitely don't deserve it) getting ahead in life.
Trying to stay positive, got 2 more cards to make. Made one for my Dad's birthday so thats been posted.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

OH had the hospital today, we get there and the surgeon had phoned in sick! So a complete wasted journey. They suggested 2 days later but in the afternoon (we've paid for this) and they didn't like it when I said no we wanted a morning appointment or I'd start charging them. Er, what part of we've paid for this do they not understand?
OH finishes up at his job tomorrow, he's been asked if he wants a shift somewhere else on monday but the pay is chronic but I've told him to go for it.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

:j for the payment.
to OH and the work. He may as well take the chronic pay - it's better than no job and no money at all! 
Did you manage to get another appointment sorted ok?Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0
