    oh yeah also forgot to tell you all yesterday that as well as my ebay account having been hacked a few weeks ago, and not being able to get onto online banking last week, I had a phone call from Asda credit card services querying a couple of transactions on my card. They are both fraudulent so it look slike someone has got my card details off somewhere. So Asda re cancelling the card, sending a new one and will cancel those transactions.
    Im soooo annoyed at whichever gits did it but sooooo pleased with Asda cards that they spotted it.

    AAHHHH feel better now.. I have arranged my finances to spend ALL of hubbys wages on Thursday.. but it means all the bills will be paid for the month AND I'll be able to assault one of them.. ooh.. sonycard this month.. paid off, free gift claimed, card cancelled and chopped up if you don't mind!!

    Actually I have accounted for just about every penny until the end of May!!!

    Powergen (and moved to scottish power) Scottish power (I got a £19 bill lol) redoute, vertbaudet and Studio cards.. Just my BHS to pay off and I'll have cleared my christmas debt!! WOOHOO!!!! That feel so good.

    Best go locate some uniforms then I can go to my nest.. I REALLY need a shower and wash my head though.. so.. do I do that tonight and go to bed 10 minutes earlier.. or do I do it in the morning and get up 20 minutes earlier??

    Tonight I think..

    ok.. uniforms, TD's .. washhair & shower.. and bed for half past!

    Sleep well everyone..

    and bestestest birthday wishes to W.. I hope you have a lovely day big man!! One of my girls is 5.. 5 is a fantastic age!! .. He might get wobbly teeth!! :eek:.. how terribly grown up!!

    Morning all - particularly ShirleyP - seems you get up just as early as I!

    Today's list: Might leave most of it all until Saturday as I only did the bedroom last Sunday. I shall see how I get on.

    And for those of you oop north talking about snow earlier, seems us in the south here maybe in for a little bid on Friday according to the forecast I just heard.

    Hi all

    I've got to stop getting up this early it's not good for me:rolleyes: . Usually when i have to open Toddlers i get up at 8.15 and have to leave at 8.40:eek: we usually make it by the skin off our teeth. No matter what time i set my alarm for i usually sleep through it:o and wake up when Ds2 wakes up:o . But these last 2 days i've woken up before the alarm:D

    JillD Thankfully the mouse has gone to mouse heaven :j aided by the help of some mars bar and a trap. It looks like it was the only one because we haven't seen evidence of any more.

    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room/Area
    Level One
    Clean floors in these areas
    Wipe down fronts of major appliances (cooker, firdge, freezer etc) and inside the microwave

    • Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs
    • Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW
    • [STRIKE]

    PPI Party Pooper
    Morning all, good luck with the study Lil-me, my new course work arrived last week and i still havent opened it:o
    Hubby off to his new job this morning:j We'll finally be getting some money and he is out from under my feet. I love him to death, but he hasnt had a job since the start of december, so he has been driving me a little mental!!! He hates not working and has been dead grumpy lately:rolleyes:
    Cleaned my fridge last night and discovered things that really needed used, moneys a bit tight so will be having some weird concoctions:D I had 1/2 a bit of silverside in the freezer, the other bit wasnt great quality for roasting, is it ok to use it for stroganoff or something??
