    Ouch - hope hubby is feeling better soon. Something might need checking again...
    (which reminds me - how's your ankle.....??)

    Go for it on the MB front - that may be the way to make the extra money you need you know.... (or at least a good bit of it)

    the knee is good miz thanks for asking ...i still get some numb feeling etc and it gets sore if i do to much but it is so much better than it was ...put it this way it isnt going to stop me going rambling this weekend lol ...

    well sat down with hubby and the plan is as follows

    forget about pensions and saving till we are back on an even keel forget about leaving job no2 till we can realistically afford to
    do more mbing
    attempt (and i do mean attempt) ebay this i doubt very much will happen infact when i brought it up it started a shouting match
    wages from job no2 will be used to clear any overdrafts etc till they are cleared then visa then savings so that i can start back with it all ...hopefully by the end of the year we should see a difference


    hmmm i dont feel as if that is really going to get us any further forward though but we will see

    i think to be honest it is cause he is lazy ...he says he doesnt know what to do but it aint rocket science and he knows more about the p.c than me he just chooses not to know about ebay ...and i am stamping my foot on this one as i do basically everything else financially in our house

    well today has been busy i went to class in class today we all went swimming nice to have it paid for you occasionally ...hubby joined me a short while later and we had a good swim although my knee is a bit sore (i think it was cause i did quite a bit of swimming though and nothing to worry about)so im gonna take some pain killers just now ...then with it being vegetarian wednesday hubby was asking what i am having for dinner i said not decided yet so he's making me a tofu stir fry thing it smells nice hope it tastes nice as well ...son has been over arrrggggghhhhhh less said about that the better i think lol ....
  • Glad you had a good time. sounds like it has been a bit stressful lately. My knee aches after swimming, because of the different muscle groups being used,
    sound like hubby is a good chef, never tried tofu stir fry..and i wont mentio your son. Take care and i will try and get an msn account. BOB X
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    the stir fry was nice a bit too sweet for me but hubby said he would change that for next time

    Ooooh - how exciting - home made strawberries! Well done you. I planted out pots with some tomato plants and salad potatoes that a neighbour gave us - so hopeful for a crop later in the summer - if I can avoid killing them! :p
