ty people had a bit of a better night last night, still can't open my mouth as wide as i should.. my jaw just won't click back open :S the painkillers (codeine, ibuprofen, paracetamol) have finally all kicked in so it feels numb now but i know when they are wearing off. the joys our bodies are huh lol

Had a look in the entertainer just to see what they had and picked up a jake and neverland pirate game for the bargain explorer leapad thing i got dd4 for xmas for £6 :O though looking online it looks like it was a shop missprice cause only the ebooks are reduced that low, oops. Shall get her one other game i think as she has her nabi tablet for learning really, this is just to stop her attacking her sisters 3ds etc.

If you have a dunelm mill close by theres lots of 10p items from xmas instore and you can buy online to collect instore too, snowman apron, waitress one too, gravy boat... not easy to hunt out on their site though been trying to get them all on one page.. sorry.

Have had a lovely unexpected bill of £350 hit our doorstep this afternoon We own a flat and the last property management company were terrible, I am 99% sure we paid this last June but new management are stating that unless we can prove without a doubt that the payment was for this bill then we have to pay again

oh no Feisty!!! hope you can find some way to prove them wrong xx

Hug to you MsGigglewick, hope you are feeling better xx

BBThree I saw the Animal mug, its very cute! I got the blue one with cute Stitch on one side and 'Im very naughty' on the other ...

sorry ive not fully caught up yet, just sneaking on before I go fetch the kids, its blowing a gale here! anyone who was thinking about using yankeec'ndle.co.uk on their sale, I just got my first order from them and really impressed, everything beautifully packaged up and protected, I got en email this morning telling me what time they would deliver and they did, really impressed with their service

Technically I was right and I had paid this bill - sadly they used my money to offset DH's account DH had 3 consecutive months with the old management company where they kept refusing his standing order of £98 - being a typical man (and against my warnings) he saw it as a reason to celebrate the 'extra' money and spent it. In his defense he did speak to them several times and they kept telling him it was fine (I didn't agree). So when the new company received my large sum of money, they took it to clear DHs 'missed' payments. Of course DH is now storming about as if it's my fault - I haven't said 'I told you so', but I am really miffed that I am going to end up having to bail him out after I warned him this was going to happen.

The thing that really blows is that it is me doing all of the saving for the house - all said and done, I can see me putting in about 80% of the savings Plus as I had to pay £400 for the vet op a few weeks ago, it was agreed that he would pay the next ground rent bill - he's clearly not going to do that - thank goodness for separate bank accounts!

Oh feisty, that's not good. Cr*p management company! Hope you get it sorted and your OH will pay his share.

Oh FEISTY its always the same as soon as you are able to save a bit, bang, something unexpected happens, i love your crafty bits, especially the family tree, i definitely want one, just need to decide where it is going and what colour, MS GIGGLEWICK sending you lots of hugs sounds really painful, OMO and PINKSTEPS hope your boys are recovering well and you have both caught up on your sleep, BUNBUN thankyou yes i feel much better this week. Well i had a great start to the week have managed to trap myself in the living room :rotfl: the dog broke the door handle and we have left it so he cant get into the bedrooms when we are out, but this morning i bent down to pick one of his toys up and leant on it and now i cant open it :rotfl:have to wait for girls to come home from work, so i have had no shower, not dressed, cant do any washing, i seriously am a nightmare:T sending hugs to those who need them.

Oh no! I bet you're starving, you poor thing!

I'm refraining from calling DH on it, simply because the standing order problems happened almost two years ago :eek: New management company have only just brought it to our attention :mad: Ah well, it's not due until March and I have lots of work to pay my share

Hi all

snugglebunny- hopefully the new neighbour will be nice.

BBTHREE- how nice does your hubby sound, that's such a sweet thing for him to do. Hope you get your pain issues resolved soon.

omo -how is your son doing now?

msgigglewick-that bed sounds brilliant. I have seen pictures of those beds but don't know anyone that actually has one. Hope your jaw is giving you less trouble today.

Eljaycock-sorry to hear you were ill on your birthday, but sure the surprise holiday from hubby will make up for that.


Hope everyone else is ok. Been working today and shattered as I didn't get to sleep until 5:30am then alarm went off at 7am. So quick popped in to catch up then tea and an early night for me.

On flat front o/h rang them today and the estate agents said there is currently tenants in the property(usually it says this on website but it didn't) and they are on holiday so once they get back they will be in touch about a viewing. This helps us bit actually as we cannot give notice until 14th of whichever month anyway.
Thinking of arranging some viewing of others in the mean time just to see what's out there and keep our option open.
