    Update on stolen present, now not stolen but held at delivery company depot for security check, should be with me soon. Sounds like someone has some explaining to do. Not sure why I was told it was stolen and not 100% convinced but not paying for 2 so if both original and replacement turn up, one is going back, personalised or not, I'm not paying for their error.

    Can't believe coffee shop lot, hope h3llc0w gives them everything she's got, mean, ignorant horrors

    Hope Colin is ok and your rug has finally arrived

    Also hope you found suitable attire for work and tum settled down

    Oh yeah, never thought of that :o Too busy thinking about the brandy rememdy :o
    L I wondered that or some lemon and ginger.......?

    I'm not getting ready for work I'm lolling in an airport :D in my defence I worked my normal month in 3 weeks :-)

    Hope it clears soon love.

    So how's it still feeling to be debt free? Has it sunk in yet?

    The debt free bit hasn't really sunk in yet. I'm still spending on bits for the house and Christmas. It is a lovely feeling knowing the money I'm spending is mine. I still research prices fanatically and still ask the question ' do I need it? I think next month will be the telling one. I plan to live on just my wages, meal plan and save :eek:

    What a relief getting the present. I'm feeling the same about not paying again. My mat turned up by special courier delivery after yet another phone call. They definitely originally charged for two but only sent one :mad:

    Tum all settled down now. I get colic from time to time, normally when I've been sitting too long.

    Last evening of the evening shifts tonight, although I am working an overtime late afternoon shift tomorrow. I want to earn any money I use on a day to day basis rather than dip into savings. Anything left over will go to savings. The savings are for planned spends ie creating a patio area next year. I might even look into getting an ISA.

    So tomorrow will be made up of breakfast with Dad, housework then overtime. Then :heartsmilMonday :heartsmil My first true day off! No coffee shop just a day for me, that's why I'm doing the housework on Sunday. I think we all know what I'm going to do with it. I have a sack of carrots with no-one to eat them.....and two new outdoor rugs ;)
