    Hi everyone, my day has went from bad to worse. Washing machine needs a new bearin and the man i phoned said it would cost $120 so decided to wait and buy a new one.angry-smiley-030.gif

    Now i'm only back from A&E as DS2 fell off the sofa and hit his head of the corner of a unitspeechless-smiley-040.gif . He has quite a cut but thankfully only needed it glued but he knocked at least 5 years of my life. He was so good chattin to all the nurses.

    Haven't done any flying today but hoping once i get a cuppa and chocolate and my heart return's to were it should be, then i'll get on with it.
    I'm suppose to take DS2 to look round playgroup tomorrow morning but i think i'll just wait and see how he is.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    I love online banking.. I'm just trying to figure out which account the DLA is paid into.. the CTC goes in the A&L account.. the carers in the abbey account and the paypal/quidco etc in the TSB account.. the child benefit in the A&L account and the DLA.. seems to have disappeared!!:confused:

    This week is great.. CA, DLA, CTC, paypal (£200) AND hubbys wages.. AND £15000 loan ROFL.. I wish every month was like this!.. £17500 in a week!!!!! shame I have to pay most of it back!

    OK, how do I upload all my turbo lister ebay items?

    Only have 7 so far, but I guess if I tried for any more, I would forget to post them.

    Oh, and banking is fine, was buildings and contents are separate payments, how weird!

    *hyperventilates* Turbo lister has deleted all my listings! I don't want to start again! *cries*

    *throws tantrum cos ITS NOT FAIR!!!*
