    Right guess which idiot paid off not only this month but next months credit card bill ie for the vacuum cleaner and the meal i bought for my friend?

    It left me overdrawn by £30 on my current account. I have put money in so now i am ok on my current account too. OMG. I cant believe i did that. I feel so silly. This is so hard. I need to keep more spare money around. And no more spending on any credit card this month. Cash only from now on.

    Oh dear, can the credit card company not refund you? I've double-paid before too, a couple of times actually. It's far better than not paying!!

    Hi bobobski I haven't bothered. It will teach me a lesson and stop me spending money I don't have. It is strictly cash only this month.

    Weather is gorgeous. I have put a wash on and am going to write a lesson.

    I keep wondering how long it will take before I can go back to work. I can talk quietly but it hurts. I wish I was normal.:eek:

    Sorry to hear you sounding so fed up SW. Have you seen your doc ? I hope you've been able to get out and enjoy this sunshine with your parents

    i haven't made much progress with my work this week as parents have been here. 3dogs is visiting tonight and we are supposed to go to Steve and Andy's but I might not be able to go as I haven't done my work. I might see if I can take it with me and do it there. Yikes. :o

  • Ooooh a head massage sounds lovely.


    I think from what you have posted this week you have been sleeping a lot and have not been well enough to do work ! Are you going to stay with your friends for the weekend ?
