  • Hi lovely,

    Was lovely to see the photo's you sent over, your cousins baby is sooo cute :D

    Really glad you enjoyed your holiday too, much needed I think :D

    GRR to the previous owners. I think your solicitors would have to fight the 'caveat emptor' that the previous owners solicitors have put across. Basically it means 'Sold as Seen' or 'Buyer Beware'. I'm not 100% clued up on this, but I think that, they will argue on those grounds.

    Fantastic that you've got a plan in place, you'll soon be rid of the £4k to your parents and that mortgage will go down in leaps and bounds :D

    Great news on the wage rise! Nice little extra :)

    Sounds like you've got a plan in place to clear the money you owe your folks, it'll be gone before you know it.

    Britney will be amazing! I'd considered tickets but couldn't justify the cost at the time. I'm with you on Pink, Abba! I've loved her since her first single but it wasn't until I was listening to her Greatest Hits the other day that I realised how many amazing tunes she really has!

    That's cheeky of BT, Monz. Glad you're getting your money back : )

    Morning. It is Friday woo!! My money has been refunded from BT phew! Bank doesnt look as scary now!

    Off to Carlisle tomorrow to see our holiday friends cannot wait! Going bowling and laser quest... Hoping if my boy likes laser quest can book this for a party I said he cant have lol its £159.99 for ten kids and will tell him can only invite set amount.

    Will see after this weekend money wise and might get something in for his birthday like a switch game... bloody fortune lol! So small but thought if I get things like that in, then will go to pound shop with £20 and bulk it up to look more? They get more expensive as older and presents get smaller looking :/

    27 days until payday and my child has skinned me alive :(! Need to go to bank today got a £41 cheque from changing from Scottish Power to SSE and TBC is £80 for that... take 22 weeks though lol. Also got £20 from TBC for home insurance, again 22 weeks lol.

    When that comes through will send to my mum and dad and hopefully get them paid off sooner rather than later!

    Have a great weekend all xx
