    Fantastic news that the boys are home and enjoying there new setting. Sounds like it will do wonders for you too.

    Auntie Vera sounds lovely although an image of Colin stuck in the catflap is rather funny and would require the sharing of pictures :rotfl:.

    Thank you :D. I was going to be debt free but have decided that the overpayments I was going to be making are better off going into savings so that we're not using credit to buy baby stuff. Will still be paying 4 times the minimum payment but will still finish within the 0% deal which I'm happy with.

    Alipoops :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:this had me laughing so hard that husbandpet wondered what I was reading about.
    Fab news Alioops. Hope you hve an easy pregnancy.

    What great news!

    How to follow alioops news? Not possible. But I can supply a boring ramble if you like :D

    I met a friend for coffee this morning which was lovely. Coffee and good company in the sunshine. On a whim I decided to pop into M&S on the way back to the car as I'd like another couple of white teeshirts. Not to be. Not because I was mse but because I thought 'I don't like the red pattern on this teeshirt' then realised that somehow I had cut myself and was bleeding all over the produce :o:eek: I was bleeding quite profusely from a cut on my thumb. I have no idea how I did it, but decided I'd better 'fess up and ask for a plaster. Gosh, it was like an episode of Casualty :rotfl:Four members of staff running around to look after me. Me, who was perfectly fine, just needing a plaster! Half an hour later, form filled in and plaster in place I managed to leave without a teeshirt and without any success in persuading my M&S nurses that red wine and chocolate all round would be beneficial.

    So a nsd :T (went to Pr£t) and didn't have to pay for coffee:T

    I've also earned interest on my new bank account, £8.89 in the first month. Not much but better than nothing. You can see why you should pay off debts before saving. Interest rates on savings are negligible against interest rates on credit cards.

    Off to work in a while :( but still better than the job centre!
