i got through to a real person who told me i couldn't pay the full balance off just the minimum payment !!!!!! is that all about. She told me i'm going to have to phone in 48 hours to pay the rest off. :rolleyes: . It makes no sense to me at all.

Hollyh - they probably hope that you will forget to pay off rest so they can get more cash out of you!!

D*** - my friend isn't answering phone - will have to eat lunch to put off ironing instead of phoning .

Drat - have forgotten that I cleaned out garage yesterday so car is full of carp - will have to go to the tip before I have a shower and go shopping....
well at least it's not raining.

Had lunch so time to go upto school. I am staying well away from any children who look sick!

I have filled in all my calander now so feel quite organised just need to look at school website for sporting fixtures of which 75% change but it is a starting point.

See you all much later - will pop in for a cuppa after tea. Dinner all defrosting. Spag bol for 1, bbq ribs for 1 and meatballs for one.

I always wanted dance lessons etc when I was little but dont think M & D had the spare cash plus I was a "latch key kid" and so had no way of getting to the class from the village we lived in, but who knows I could have been a major star.

Prep veggies for tea
Do cheque for Swimming pool membership (and paperwork)
