    Sarah, have another lazy day....hey its the easter holidays! Did the girls enjoy nursery again yesterday?
    They did thanks! Apparently Ash had a few tears but she'll be fine. Something must've just upset her. They took her in to see KK and all was well again. :) They're going again tomorrow but apparently the settling in sessions are only til about 3 instead of 6 like I thought. :rolleyes: But Ste's booked tomorrow off so we're going to go and do the food shopping together while the girls are at nursery as long as my AS delivery comes in time. :)

    Ooh, some good news that I forgot to share with you all... I'd balance transferred Wayne's credit card (24% apr) to mine (6% lob) back in November (mine should have had a zero balance, but I've discovered the gits have charged the balance transfer fee at 20%.) Last month I'd applied for a Goldfish card (£50 cashback and 5% lob balance transfer). I'd forgotten all about it until I got the letter through yesterday. They've only transferred £660 to the low rate deal but when I've added it to what's the cost, it's shaved another two months of our debt free date bringing it to January 2010!!! Down side; I've just phoned to set up a direct debit but because the card hasn't arrived yet, I can't set this up. I'll just have to remember when the card comes through!

    Glad they had a good time. I found that with my DD she loved it and couldn't wait to get there for the first 3 weeks and then the novelty wore off and she cried everytime I left her..nightmare! Although as soon as I went she stopped so I knew she was ok. It lasted for about 5 weeks and then she really settled in and now can't wait to get there. They all have their off days but hey as long as they know you will come back and get them most children love it in the end!
    Oh shopping without the children...thats a novelty, I need to go today but will have to take DD with me I expect
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Yea when I went to pick her up she was quite happy colouring in with another little girl. Soon as she saw me though she was saying 'Go get KK mummy, lets go get KK..' lol. I think she was happy to come home by the end of the day!
