I laughed today as my teachings must have sunk in. At the supermarket DS was telling me that his beloved frozen raspberries are cheaper per gram frozen than fresh. He knows the gram value for a bag vs a punnet which is brilliant MS in my opinion.

Oh no! I hope that you have a fit household soon.

Great tip about sausages! I never thought of it. You'll have to let us have more tips.

BTW I got paid within a week for that order, then they ordered £100 worth of stuff a month later and they took forever to pay!

Thank you Cheeseface! I will try and remember some others How annoying about the non payers though. Shaking a fist on your behalf!

Glad the energy issue was external rather than internal and was sorted so quickly.

Boo to teething, yay to teething gel, and ice poles. I think my kids must have crunched their way through their own body weight in ice poles, and carrot sticks. One actually went orange. He was helping himself from the veg rack.

Great news DS is so MSE already. Mine can only work out the most amount of packets of crisps for their money.

Hooray for coffee! Keeping parents awake since, like, forever!

Thank you Foxy. For real with the orange?:eek:

Morning All

Just one week left to get through now. It's not going to be plain sailing though. I haven't been paid yet by the second of the big bookings from last week. It is so hard to enforce anything right at the end of a booking I find. Unless I adopt a hotel style of check out. I decided to put my sons gift on the credit card because if I hadnt I would have missed the delivery date. It's a big item and credit card gives more protection anyway. Both sets of grandparents have been very generous in their contributions and once cheques clear we only have to find about £13 to cover the item. So for once I feel it's a no brainier.

I am feeling disheartened this morning because it's the same old same old. At the moment on top of the big one thats due for payment I have someone who span me a sob story about having to wait on money herself who owes me for a deposit but isn't answering emails, and I had people booking yesterday who are happy to leave it a few days to pay because its coming up to Christmas.

Meantime I am trying to do my Christmas shopping, which I haven't been able to afford yet because of waiting on people to pay me all the time!

You all must be sick to death of hearing me say the same things. I know I am. Anyway one way or another the week will end in Christmas.....

Have a good day all.

Bob
