Oh and accidentally send that to the niece as well
:rotfl:KW, I seriously would love to do that (I've no guts when it comes to things like that), I'm sure if I mentioned it to OH he would do it!!!!

Well, one card made and I come home tonight and it looks like we've had a power cut and its fried our landline. So that's my car, laptop and now my landline.
. Fingers crossed I get renewed at my job.

I'm having a bit of a 'bleurgh' day. I feel quite snappy. That said I've not had a good morning at work and still no answer about my renewal (well thats not quite true, some people say one thing and others nothing at all which isn't helpful). My boss here is finishing up as they have a new job elsewhere so they're in a shrug shoulders mood which doesn't help me. Top that with a blinding headache, a cold that just won't go away and I'm not a happy bunny.
On the money front I got my extra pay this week which is nice, I've been sensible as put £200 to savings and £50 to cc. I'm hoping someone up there gives me a break and I get extended as I'm fed up when I start to get myself sorted I end up looking for more work. Its depressing. Gave OH an ultimatum last night, learn to drive after he moaned at me for the time I picked him up. Told him it was not physically possible to drive the distance I need to to pick him up this week at the time he wants by time I finish. I'm glad (and this sounds horrible I'm sorry) that he's going onto night shift next week and SS will take him to work and pick him up.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.

What a day! Got a few bit and pieces for Christmas. OH has decided he's not talking to his sister again so he wants me to bin the Christmas presents I've bought them (including her OH and . Erm, I'm doing that as it 'me' that paid for them and no they weren't expensive (about £7 each) but as he sees it they've not apologised (or paid for the damage their dogs did) and his niece hasn't bothered replying to out message about her engagement and his nephew after making a song and dance about wanting pictures done of him and his partner before their baby is born ....well his partner suddenly can't be bothered.
So can you see why I'm feeling so down?
Got my NI bill through, £140 but at least I have money put aside. We were at the Asian supermarket today and OH wanted to get kimchee (having tried it when he was younger). Well my whole house smells 'spicy', I'd made myself some value noodles instead (I can't eat spicy stuff). I had to stop eating them as the 'spice' was making it difficult to breathe!!!!
Tomorrow is proper food shopping and visit my Gran's.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.

Believe me KW I've not even put half of what they've done. I'm hoping they apologise, but it's not looking likely.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.

Thanks KW, it is appreciated.
Well, saw my Gran today and did the food shopping. Picked up a few jumpers for my Dad for Christmas (he's a nightmare to buy for but jumpers/socks etc are practical and he'll use them.
Food shopping done. Has anyone else noticed Aldi has become really popular recently? We struggled to get parked and their car park is huge and we didn't shop till around 5ish!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.
