    Hiya all,
    Just having a quiet sit down, my 2 dds gone to their delightful father's til tomorrow. I should be packing still but I'm worn out! Moving into new house next Fri, I have the keys now so have been dropping bits off gradually, we're getting there.

    Anyway, I must share my good news.....
    I had a letter this morning from Ace (mail order) - last week I wrote to them reclaiming admin charges (to the total of £515.80 over 6yrs!). Today they wrote and said they'll pay off my account (only £45) and send me a cheque for the remaining money, about £470 so I'm very excited and really pleased with myself!!! Only took 2 letters, easy peasy!!

    Anyway, must go write a list like you all seem to do and get myself in gear!
    Have a good day...
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    My list isn't going too great so far, I have done the food shopping, bought the fathers day present and cleaned out the car, but I've been sidetracked ....



    I've bought a guinea pig hutch off ebay and have been tracking down some cute guineas :o:o:o:o

    I've always wanted a guinea pig and a basset hound. Many years ago when I left uni I wanted tog et a guinea pig but my b/f at the time said no, and I have never got round to it. Anyway, I popped into Homebase to get fathers day present and Pets at Home is next door ..... I was very good and made myself not get one there and then but caome ome and think about it ;) Having checked several sites it seems its perfectly fine to keep them indoors, so having found an indoor hutch locally on ebay, as a buy-it-now, I paid €20 for it (as opposed to €55 for the same thing in pets-at-home), and am waiting for them to email me to see when I can collect it :rolleyes: I'm so excited, like a kid at Christmas :o:o
    I have phoned several pet shops and have finally found one with long haired piggies, I want one long haired and one short-haired one :o I can't wait to get them, just wish the ebay person would hurry up and email me so I can get their new home :rolleyes: Start thinking of names everyone, I can feel a competition coming up here :D:D

    Oh, and I spent 40 in tesco and 30 on petrol, all about on budget ;) In Tescos they had packs of 3 soft coloured foam balls, like tennis balls but soft, reduced to 25p :beer: I got a couple of packs for down the beach and some to split for party bags ;)

    Aaawwww they are so cute! :D I don't know if I could have walked out without one. That is a v good price for a hutch. The OH has come round to us getting two cats when we move to a bigger house next year. I want to get them from battersea/cats trust but I know I will never be able to pick, I will want to take them all home! :rolleyes: :eek:
