    I have found him !! He is safe and sound, knackered and sweaty :eek: !

    Im sure he would have loved to be int he pub, but He had stopped to help a guy with a puncture on the side of road and it delayed him by about an hour and a half. He made a new friend though they appear to have quite a chat !! The guy he stopped to help , finally gave up and rung his wife to collect him, but Mr PG persevered.

    The Lime Green Mankini has seen better days . I think it needs to be burnt, but not before a proper send off, so maybe Mr PG will give it one more outing !! I will make sure I'm not home that day ! ;) xx

    Hi PG
    I have been sick over the weekend, and so have read over your diary. All I can say is wow. Talk about meeting yourself coming the other way., It is no surprise that you are foggy and hardly thinking straight some days.

    Yeah to having some days off in the holidays. Even if you both just sleep it will be worth it. I am sure you are worried about Mr PG but his lack of sleep and driving is very worrying too. I hope it all calms down a bit. Is there anything that DD2 can do to take a little of the housekeeping load off you? I know that DD1 is so busy but even if they could just put clothes away or whatever.

    I hope that you have no more late payments like the numpties that you had in a previous post, that seems deliberately obstructionist to me. They did pay you in the end.

    Well done on continuing to pay THEM some money. It annoys me how they seem to go for the low hanging fruit - ie the people who will pay, rather than those who evade evade evade. I guess they like an easy life too.

    As for the house selling. Hmm this is such a toughy. I think staying put is the better answer for now. How would you fit the stress of moving into your already stressed life.

    Good luck

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Chev really lovely to hear from you, I see you around and about on the other diaries from time to time. I hope you are feeling much better now.

    I am inclined to agree with you wholeheartedly about THEM, I am sure that they go for what they class as the easy option first rather than the real tax evaders !

    Its funny that you should mention DD2 and helping as last night she went to the fridge and found a rather fluffy looking marrow in there ! :eek: She immediately set about clearing and cleaning out the fridge, which was a long overdue job I must confess with so much that has been goign on. She doesn put her clothes away when they are ironed and sort a bit of washing. If I ask her she will run the hoover around, but she gets a load of schoolwork as well so I hate asking too much. I admit to being a bit soft with the as far as helping out goes ! Mr PG is always telling me off. I think yesterday they could see how stressed out and exhausted I was though and between both the girls they really did step up to the plate and helped out without my asking. I was very proud and it helped loads. :D

    Oh and as far as the Numpties go, there is no sign of the money so far this morning. Looks as though the mortgage may have to wait again. :( I have though transferred 58p in my daily TT Routine a la Tilly and Mrs B ! Mine doesn't go to debt but to the College Fund. It now has a grand total of £35.67 in it ! :D

    Right must dash and jolly DD1 along for school, she is not impressed to be heading for a nice long maths session today !! xx

    I am banking on tomorrow now !!! Watch this space ! Thankfully our mortgage provider is very very accommodating, but for how much longer who knows ?!! xx
