Twiglet how can you let cds go
I cant let any of my music go and I have loads of vinyl that I cant let go either
I never even listen to the vinyl but its not all on cd yet either

and as you can let them go use every penny of that where its best used but dont forget to have a bit of fun along the way

Thanks Aaleigha. I very rarely put CDs on, if I listen to music it tends to be on the radio. Plus most of it is on my parents computer anyway - really must get round to putting it on my phone!

Good news - I found the actual CDs!!!

Had a lovely catch up with my friend last night, although did spend a bit more than I'd have liked but never mind. None of it went on card and that's the main thing! Looks like I'm seeing my other friend tomorrow night now rather than tonight.

Excited for Saturday as we're trying on bridesmaids dresses! And then looks like we're going to the cinema to see Cinderella!

I often just shove my ipod into the radio to listen too - its a classic so have a huge amount of space - but as yet even though all my cds are on itunes and the ipod I cant actually let the cds go - time will come - and as for the vinyl I know a few of the albums are selling for silly amounts but not temped yet

what a great thing to go and watch after trying on bridesmaid dresses - and of course you will be going to the ball

I can make an extra £1.88 by sending some to webuybooks - so thanks AleMrsT!

Aaleigha - I have asked the bride if I can wear my dress to the cinema! :rotfl:

Ok so I've just spoken to my bank as there was debit of £3.99 come out of my bank for itunes which wasn't me! Wow they made it difficult! As I've previously purchased 1 thing about 4 years ago from them they had to treat it as a direct debit dispute event though I didn't have that account at that time! So whilst the guy was trying to tell me they'd look into the itunes matter, I was trying to explain that whilst that's great I need to cancel my card as it was fraudulently used. He just kept saying that itunes wouldn't be able to take any further payments!!! However, I'm getting the £3.99 refunded and I've ordered a new card so hopefully that's the matter closed!

Shows how important it is to check your accounts regularly! I know that was only a small amount but that's normally the way crooks do it, small amount first then bigger amounts!

I'm just praying now it wasn't my OH but he swears it wasn't but he does play a free game which you can make in app purchases but said he hadn't intentionally bought anything and I would have thought you would have to click to confirm if you want to buy something! However I still don't think his phone would be set up to that card as it didn't exist when he set up his itunes account!

Morning diaryland!

My friend cancelled on me last night - potentially both her and OH are going to lose their jobs/be made redundant. So rubbish for them and bad timing to both receive the news on the same day.

So instead I went round my parents for my crochet lesson! I'm so rubbish but should get their with my mum's careful supervision! Took me an hour and a half to do my foundation row! At least I've given myself plenty of time! Approx 30 weeks until baby is due - or should I say babies as friend has it in her head that it's twins as there are quite a few in her family! We will find out on 24 of this month! The blanket won't be perfect but if I wanted a perfect one I'd have bought one from the shop!

Our old lodger is coming to stay with us for a few weeks so that will be handy to bring in some extra pennies. Hopefully he doesn't grate on OH as much this time as they won't be living and working together! Plus it's only for a little while. Fingers crossed he does the cooking whilst he's here as he's a great cook which OH is not (well actually it's more of a case of won't cook with OH!)

Aaleigha

such a shame your friends cancelled it must be so worrying for them - bad enough to face if its just one of you

hope the lodgers money helps a bit you are doing well already with parents paid off very soon you will be throwing everything at the cc before my birthday at the rate you are going

Afternoon diaryland! Very tired twiggy checking in! Had a rubbish weekend of sleeping - not through partying or anything exciting like that, just I'm really bad at sleeping some times! Was up at 5 this morning as I couldn't sleep, which is new for me as normally I cant get to sleep to start with, but I think it was the fact I got up for the loo, stumped my toe and then OH was snoring!

Weekend was good! Had a good day on Saturday with my friends trying on a bridesmaid dress, watching Cinderella and then out for thai food. Managed to pay some money in the bank as well so paid £77.94 off the CC taking the interest incurring CC to under £500!!!

Parents came round yesterday with a suitcase full of clothes which I'd left there when I moved and forgot about! I was short on space before so no way I can store everything so need to have a good sort out!

Don't think I have anything else riveting to report! :rotfl:
