    Nice thread. lol @ hypno and her 'carrier bag full a day' though! :D

    This week I have had the June mortgage payment refunded from Abbey as they didn't take it into consideration when we remortgaged so they had to refund it to us when it 'cleared'. Woo hoo - I am off to adjust my signature in a minute!

    Found 2 fantastic Planet bargains in John Lewis yesterday.

    Evening all

    Well my news is that my 17 yr old foster placement child has arrived and moved in. We have had a few tears, mostly mine but all is well... and she seems happy!

    Have had a bad back all week and the pain has mostly gone, so thank goodness for that!

    And tomorrow is Saturday and I'm not working again until Tuesday, possibly Wednesday!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Sounds pretty good to me. Good luck with the foster placement.

    Despite a rocky start the week has ended positively.
    Got abbey and citi to agree not to increase rate.
    got edf to keep elec payments the same.
    Got lots and lots of extra hours.
    Me and OH have had hugs and kisses and NO arguments.

    What a great idea for a thread.
