Cheers Granny :A.

This morning the assistant Beaver Leader came round for a couple of hours and we did a bit of a handover. I helped her decide what badge to do next and gave her all my resources. It feels official that I've left now.

After lunch DH and I went to the Metro Centre to pay in the boys' Christmas cheques/money. I had also counted up £8 in change from my penny jar so I banked that into my account and I will pay it off Bcard. We wandered round for a bit and I got 10 birthday cards for £1 in the cheapy card shop and bought 2 bottles of pop for £1 in p0undl@nd. Furthermore I will be £4 for Clubbercise later and had to send £2 to DS2's school as a contribution to watching a pantomime in school next week.

Think I forgot to mention yesterday that I got a letter from utility company saying they were going to try to claim the direct debit again, despite the girl on the phone when I rang last week telling me they wouldn't. Rang them and was told by a second girl that they wouldn't be trying again but she would put me through to 'the department that deals with that' to discuss it further. 20 minutes in a queue later, it transpired that she had put me through to someone else in her own department who advised me to 'just wait and see if it comes out again or not' because he didn't know if it would or wouldn't debit :mad: :mad:. Good blinking job I didn't use the money to pay off Bcard after the first girl told me that they wouldn't be retrying the direct debit and that I was in credit so I didn't need to make an online payment either!! Truth is though, I only just have enough money to meet the direct debit if it does come out, so back to feeling very skint again.

How useless is the utility company? On a more positive note glad the Beavers job has been officially handed over.

Clubbercise was awesome! Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back next week. Will be doing Monday next week because my Cousin can't make Thursday, but that means gym Monday morning then clubbercise in the evening. I may not be able to even get out of bed on Tuesday.

Been shopping tonight because MiL had offered to buy DS1 a new coat. He wanted a certain label but I said no because it was too expensive. MiL said she'd buy it so is now £75 poorer. I mean £75 :eek:, madness!!

I'm tired and have had my head bitten off tonight by DH so I'm feeling a bit huffed/withdrawn. Looking forward to bedtime Xx

Hello!! Thanks for the tip on chickpea dahl from Mr A. I will give it a whirl and the soup sounds lush!

Wahey to a free week and Clubbercise. So excited you went out and did things for you. Loving Granny's abbreviation.. suits them to a tee. Have had one of those this week. Glad to get rid of him last night! He can go and be miserable at his muvvers.

£75?!?! My mum bought a £90 coat for Jelly when she was 1. She got it half price but even still :eek: - grannys seem far less inclined to be thrifty when it comes to the grandkids...

Sorry about DH. I would clip him round the earhole in my current state of temper so he is lucky he has you! xx
