    Just been sorting out which stuff I'm sending back to Next, and having added it all up I have so far kept £125 worth :o There is still more that hasn't arrived yet, and f that I reckon I'll keep about £35 worth. So, in total £160 approx which is more than I reckoned on (approx £100), but I am sending back 3 pairs of jeans, 2 dresses and a pair of trousers. I have decided to keep all the boots :o:o , well one pair are for work, one are a long pair and are lovely, and the third are only a tenner so you can't go wrong there can you really, and I could always sell them on ebay if I dont wear them :D

    Morning everyone, today is a stay-indoors day as my new bedroom drawers and cupboard are being delivered today, sometime between 8am - 6pm :eek: so I have to wait in till they turn up. I don't mind too much as I've got tonnes to do like normal but it would be nice to know a bit more of an exact time :D :rolleyes:

    Liking my hair today, it looked tidy even when I got out of bed which is something my hair never does normally :rotfl:

    I'm hoping I can fix my camera somehow today to get some more stuff on ebay, otherwise its a dull housewoek kinda day ...
    • ironing
    • name labels on school uniform for ds (all seem to have fallen off)

    Hi benben

    Its a getting organised kind of day, isn't it. But don't you hate it when you get that kind of delivery schedule? Really, they should be ashamed of themselves. Still, if you can use it to your advantage, it all helps.

    Even better that you like your hair today!

    That sounds a bit weird Benben (the mbna card thing), I'd call asap just in case there's something odd going on, did they tell you the balance and it only showed the £30?

    Good luck with bob!

    Well, enjoy Bob the Builder anyway. Hope you get the mbna thing sorted out, and I'm glad they showed up so early.
