    Hi Angie! Hope your back is a bit better this morning? Does the NHS not cover the osteo? If not - HSA is a good way to go. My mum has been a member for ages, and although you usually have to pay the full invoice, you send it off and they send you a cheque for the part they cover!
    You have me lost with your budgets (but then again, I usually lose everyone with my ramblings!)
    Have a good Friday! I am in work tomorrow (overtime!!) so will try and catch up again then!

    Not to bad today Nats, had a few painkillers already. But bearable. Looking forword to 2 days off.

    Re Food budget, i was going to try and do it for £35 quid this month, i have already spent £30 of it. But i need loads in, cat food, washing stuff etc so ive have gone back to the original one of £100 :o but i wont go over, plus i can treat myself to a bottle of wine too this way for the weekend. But need to get the energy together to go, we had cheese omelette and beans lat night, need something warming over the weekend, like a roast beef dinner :o

    Anyway, have a good Friday Nats!

    Ah-ha! Now I get it!!!
    Mmmm - a nice bottle of wine! red or white?
    I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can start living off salad again - this time of year you definitely need hot food to keep you warm on the inside! Glad you feeling a bit better today :O)

    Hi angie,
    Have you looked into Healthsure? I've been a member for ages and they're really good about paying claims. My work pays for my membership but I think it is about £15 a month...might be worth looking into?

    Just a quick one,

    Half day today as DS has denist, one of his teeth isnt growing and needs to be checked. Means i get to pick him up :j

    On the birthday note i cant find a spongebob squarepants cake in any of the supermarkets and to get one made would cost a fortune. I can make cakes but decorating isnt my thing, not very artisic at all. So am a bit stuck on that one and running out of time.

    Still on budgets kinda, still need to update sigs. Money is going to be very tight for a while. Doesnt help that i didnt budget for the meal on thursday.

    Will be back on later for a proper update after my visit to osteo :j am so looking forward to hopefuly feeling a bit better. Will probily ache tomorrow but longterm worth it. Oh and its another £40 not budgeted for :eek: Thank god for the British Gas balls up :rotfl:
