Time to be completely honest

Right - am a little calmer now - had a slight freak out I think!

NO school tomorrow!! Yippee!! Because there is no water it's been decided not to open school - I'm doing a little jig as I type. Works out perfectly for me as it means OH doesn't loose any time off work and also it doesn't count then as a day off for me (although I woul dhave been going in anyway but you see my point).

I've contacted RC about cancelling, a very strongly worded email!

I think that this DFW journey is just a series of LBMs!! I know now that I just am not good - I think I have spent the money of lots of little bits. My mobile bill being so high didn't help and I think a little money hasn't transferred across, but mainly silly spending on presents for the kids, sales 'bargains', magazines, going on weekends we can't afford!!!!

I will learn from it, and like you say Seaxwyn - it's annoying but not the end of the world!!

Just found out my friend is pg, which is lovely. I look forward to doing another nappy cake for her when the time comes

Nope. And the more you learn from it, the quicker you'll stop it the next time.

Made with real nappies? :shocked:

Sea78

Yep - real nappies!!

I'll find a pic of the last one I did - but it looked MUCH better irl.

Sea78

Here's a little pic of my spotty monkey - she's got more though! That was taken this morning and she doesn't look *that* bad!

The other 2 are of the nappy cake. Basically rolled up nappies with presents up the middle and attached around. The smaller one I did the other day for work worked a little better as it was done around a bottle of wine but I forgot to take photo!

She's so gorgeous! Even with her beauty spots!

Seaxwyn

Glad to see she's smiling!

Oh arghhhhhhhh

Still no water - OH got up and had a shower so I was thinking yippee!! But then when I went for mine a little later, nothing. All the websites saying water back on etc but NO.

I want to continue tidying today and sorting out stuff - hopefully will find out what some of my money has been spent on!!

I must get onto those Bingo sites as well - not with my money of course Any little extra I'm going to transfer and then withdraw and put in the terramundi towards barclaycard savings - I have realised I can't have online savings as I just transfer the money and spend it. If I put it in the terramundi then I will not be able to spend it and it will just grow nicely.

oooh - just been rung by OH and apparently we get a £50 refund from the water board because of the problems -I doubt this very much, but will go investigate.

Not heard from RC yet, but all the bumpf arrived this morning (finally!), but I'm going to push for a part refund anyway as the website is so rubbish!

Feeling more positive today - thanks for all the kick up the bums yesterday - has helped me put things into perspective!

Hi Sea, glad ur feeling a bit more positive today.....
Re the water refund, I know our Water companies round here give refund if ur water has been out for a certain amount of time - might be worth checking their website, or stick a quick post on the Utilities thread

Afternoon Sea...gosh shes grown so much since I saw her!!!!...can't believe how tall she's got.It may be worth phoning the water board if you're still having problems esp sice you said their site says it's back on!!...hope you're having a good day..take care xx
