I had similar issues trying to retrieve my monies from Plum … just hopeless. I know they pay good rates but is the stress and hassle worth it? 🤷♀️

Yep I wasn't impressed at all. But I didn't know what else to do. They gave no other option. Hopefully it won't delay getting money out for too long.KajiKita said:I had similar issues trying to retrieve my monies from Plum … just hopeless.

I must admit that thought went through my head too … It’s not like he’d know how to contact the school to check, is it?! 😂😉daisy_1571 said:If he always pays under you know what he's forcing you to do....need £240 tell him £300

i thought the same earlier today but did not want to be the first to put that out here!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -
Same here

That was my first thought too. Sadly I'd sent him the ski payment letter though so he knows how much is due and when he's just being deliberately awkward and controlling and irritating as usual.
First day of work is done. Training all day and it was pretty boring to be honest. Nothing new learned and I felt perhaps it was a day planned last minute and tasks in just wasting time for the most part to say we've done enough training days. I guess when you work with students day in day out there isn't much you've not seen or heard. The ones in the office that don't have Daily contact with students probably took more from it than us.
Tomorrow is off and I've got docs in morning to get something else for these hot flashes which have started once again....🙄☹️.
Also need to do shopping in the morning and see my friend at lunch. So a busy enough day really.
I tried to make nori wraps yesterday for lunch today. Omg what a disaster. There must be a way of getting them to stick and not fall apart. Perhaps less fillings? Hmm I want to keep trying as I like the idea of veggie wraps. The broken one tasted good so I need to try again. Also thinking of getting a lunch box with compartments in as I'm using take away tubs at the mo which are rubbish really and I end up with two or three if I have lots of different things to eat that need to stay separate.
Got lots of compliments on my hair today and I have a new best friend after she seemed shocked I was 40. When I told her I was actually 46 she was even more shocked and so I said she would be my friend forever more now 🤣😉. She thought I looked 35 which made me feel better about my bloated face and overweight hips lol.
Dinner is another leftover. Dunno what yet. I'll find something then I need to do a meal plan for next week too.
It rained all day here yesterday so I'm having a day or two off the watering in the garden.
Kids both still not back from school so hopefully it went okay, both went to bed at a decent time thankfully so were up early.
Not much else to report really. Not a NSD but I have had a few since the last time I reported I think so will go back and see when I last reported one on here and check bank to see how many more I've had ...1 -
6 NSD since Iast updated them! Will add to sig now.1

Good luck with the GP tomorrow. Take a list of symptoms and questions with you?In terms of lunches those divided boxes do look good. The other thing I have been doing for a while is using baby meal Tupperware type boxes for little portions of this and that - they work really well.
Yaay for the compliment on your hair 😊❤️

Bento boxes! Lots of different ones available, I also bought some silicone cup cake cases, there were pink heart shaped ones! 😜 but they work really well to keep small things seperate, like apricots, grapes, humus, nuts etc
and they are squishy so you can fit them in different pots!
Glad your first day back is over and no kids! Only 2 more days this week!!
Good luck with the gp tomorrow♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025
