Bye for a week, HHOD, am always off the grid on holiday. I expect to find 5 million posts when I come back (exaggeration), and 700 emails (regrettably NOT exaggerated!).
Loved the story about your daughter and the cat cafe:T. Looks like most cats get jealous if they think their owners are taking an interest in other cats:rotfl:
Have a lovely holiday. I hope the sun shines on you and you have a relaxing and fun time making lots of priceless memories:beer:0 -
Have you seen Martin's "thing" about hayfever tablets? I am fairly certain that Home Bargains sell Corsodyl for £2.99 & a product with exactly the same ingredients for £1.99. If you have a HB it has got to be at least worth a look. There was an ad on TV the other day for Boots about a hayfever tablet 2 pks for ONLY £6. Non-branded in HB (& other places) 79p/pk.0

The stress level caused by cashflow when you've a family to feed and care for must be immense, especially as things are not in your own power to remedy. I hope some of the tardy payers will do the decent thing and send some money your way today
Thanks Carboot.Positive money vibes your way.

beanielou - I also tried Corsodyl for a while, but it is horrendously expensive. You can never be sure whether it's worth it because, as with all health-related things, you can't run the experiment both ways.

No invoices were paid today unfortunately . We have four outstanding and customers expressing interest in new work but no money in yet . I know it will come in eventually and they'll probably all pay on the same day :mad:.
I didn't go to my volunteering as I don't feel right, but I felt fed up for not going because I enjoy it.
We got a fair amount of work done until DH's sister rang. When you work from home people are very willing to interrupt you :mad:.
I got a YG survey for 150 points :T so I'm on 3500 points now, creeping up. I also got two small PA surveys. I also got a £1 bonus from PA today :beer:.
My mum popped in with with some ready meals from M&S which means I won't have to cook (much) tonight .
It's been lovely and sunny but I only left the house to hang washing in the garden.
Hope every's had a good Thursday .Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Hoping you feel slightly better than you did .
PA has been busy this week . Yay to You Gov , you will get there eventually, it took me about 8 months to get the £50.

Sorry to hear the invoices haven't been paid yet It's annoying because if it was you that owed money you'd have to pay straight away. Fingers crossed the money comes in soon.
Good news on the DS front though, they sound like good ladsChristmas Savings 2024 £252.38/£600 April NSD:2 April Surveys £0
