    Oh no, not somebody else with a cold. There's definitely something very infectious going round.

    You are very wise to have a nice relaxing time, that's the best thing to do

    What a ghastly day weather wise!
    I managed to step on several wonky paving stones on the way home tonigh ... the kind that send a mini wave over your foot getting it wetter somehow than if you had submerged it in a bath :(
    I was very glad to get home tonight and get changed into something warm and dry.

    No money news to report. Too many days til payday for my liking.....

    On a brighter note, I'm feeling a bit better. Still have the pesky cough but it's definitely improved :)

    Another wet and wild day here. Autumn is definitely making itself felt!

    No money news to report though I am hoping a cashback payment will appear in the next few days.
    I did complete a VO survey for £20 as well so fingers crossed that arrives ok too

    Hope everyone's week is going ok

    BW :)

    Whoops! Not been in for a few days :o

    Thanks for stopping by Wish :)

    Weather has finally cleared up. Managed to get some garden jobs done. Suspect it will be the last time the lawn gets cuts this year too.

    I've had a long weekend break which has been great. I had some family visiting Thurs/Friday. Was lovely to see them.

    I'm feeling much better than last week - although that cough is still lingering!

    In money news:

    £22.31 OP - which came from £co cashback :)
    £10 survey payment received :)
    Awaiting £3 from PC ;)
    Credit card paid :( - was a large bill as paid for the new cooker. I had the money but it still pained me to see the a/c balance go down by so much

    Quiet day today as I'm currently counting the [STRIKE]hours[/STRIKE] days til payday....

    Although I have ordered some presents for that dreaded C-word event coming up. I used some gift vouchers and money off so that doesn't count right? :p

    My new oven has a fault :(

    I went to switch on the fan oven tonight to get tea ready and nothing :eek: No light, noise or power. Weirdly though, the top oven and hobs still work ok. So not a total disaster but pretty annoying all the same :mad:

    Oh no! Your kitchen appliance killing powers continue....

    So it seems :(
    There is a kind of irony in that one of drivers for replacing the cooker was because I couldn't use the bottom oven...so therefore somewhat weird in that I am now in the same position with the new one! :o
  • Grrrr how annoying. Hope you get it sorted without any hassle.
