    Now I have snow white feeding the animals in the classic disney scene stuck in my mind. FVD was trying to work out what everyone looks like from their posts, now I have you as snow white:rotfl:

    Have sold some shoes on ebay, need to take them to the PO later.

    Well done:j:j

    Hi everyone :)
    Had a mixed day / past couple of days.
    I have been incredibly tired and the doc has given me tablets and ibuprofen for my sore joints.

    Sorry to hear that :o

    Tax Credits have sorted out the main problem, but I've still not got new paperwork through to set up a new claim, so still without money after 4 weeks now, and it will be at least another 1-2 months after I send back the paperwork, so must continue with the basic living.
    :)

    Really hope the tax credits are sorted out very soon.

    Good news Ally.

    Well I decided to post the shoes when I am at work tomorrow, there are horrendous roadworks near us and it would have been wasted petrol.

    The courier came to pick up some sandals that I bought online on impulse and decided to return. Quite pleased with myself for not keeping them.

    Turkey thigh casserole for tea, £2.20 well spent. I bought some bread rolls reduced in the supermarket for 19p on my way home from work so they have gone in the freezer.

    Got paid for some tax work today. I dont particularly like doing it but it brings in a bit extra. My eldest is growing like mad so it will buy him some clothes. If there is anything left it will be paid off the card.

    We are getting a bit short on supplies so it may be a trip to L*dl tomorrow. I will make a list while I am watching telly tonight.

    Not a bad day really!

    Dunno. I was thinking the same though. Maybe if we start up a football fan style chant 'FVD FVD' she'll hear us and swing by :)

    *waves*

    I'm here, on the virtual bean bag in the corner!

    Thank you both for thinking of me, I've been popping in occasionally but not posting much due to a combination of things:

    Work has been manic, I have tried to be Switzerland in the war of egos between my two managers but it got to a point where I had to take over or nothing would get done which has made me incredibly popular with one side but not so much so with the other :eek:

    I think my son has had a falling out with some of his friends as he's been home most nights this week and has taken over the downstairs computer which is now littered with empty glasses and food bowls and there are bits of tobacco in the keyboard :cool:

    He keeps moaning I don't buy healthy food so I let him start my online shop tonight intending to edit it but the site has gone all weird (it looks like when you get a 404 message?) so I have £40 worth of not very useful shopping coming which includes a bottle of vodka apparently :mad: and my delivery saver has expired...

    but... I have gotten to the bottom of my non working Mr T CC, it has expired :rotfl:

    Foxgloves, that swathe of rain made it to London by lunch time today... and I was wearing flip flops... Luckily I had left my brolly at work a couple of weeks ago but it's not a look I expect to catch on any time soon :rotfl: I love my brolly though, somebody left it in the back of DHs cab and I looked it up online and they cost £160 :eek: I am terrified of losing it though.

    Twiggy, many years ago when my DS was small my car blew up on the way to Gatwick zoo and we had to be towed home (we sat in the truck) instead which was altogether far more exciting to a small boy than going to the zoo :rotfl:

    It's officially Friday now, happy Friday everyone! :)
    Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
