    Fingers crossed for you Capricornlass! Please let us know.

    Well ive not had great news today, my hospital appointment has been cancelled as the consultant is ill. None of the others will cover the appointments. So been told that nothing will be rescheduled until she is back potentially next week and it may be 2-3 weeks on top of that! Going back to see my gp and going to spend Thursday seeing if I can arrange to go private (I have medical insurance) . I cannot wait any less ne!!!8217;er, yes it will cost me something ( not sure how much) but waiting is driving me nuts.

    Tomorrow is world book day so I have spent the evening sewing LO!!!8217;s outfit. Part is shop bought but the rest I have seen myself. Feeling quite proud but very tired.

    Well LO nursery was closed due to the weather as were all the schools. I didnt attempt the drive into work (and no point as no one to watch LO). OH sent home from work due to the weather and has gone to bed as apparently he is tired (anooyed as not sure he knows the meaning of the word, try being up half the night doing a costume then trying to entertain a grouchy toddler and work from home). Every time I sit down LO (and now OH as he is awake) wants something

    Got the job!!!!

    Start on Monday, provided all the paperwork and the references come through on time. That will be a shock to the system - I haven't worked since September as I'm supposed to be retired!

    I'm assuming that you are still stuck at home with LO with this weather. All the schools round here are closed, which means my OH is home today. Normally he would disappear into his workshop, but he's decided its too cold and now he's playing a computer game. The noise is driving me mad!

    Keep safe and warm!

    Well done on getting the job and good luck for your first day! Yes I'm still off with LO, who is bored and doesn't understand we have to stay inside as it's so cold outside. OH is also at home and driving me nuts reminding me everything thing he's done (dishes, tidy kitchen etc and moaning about every little thing), yet keeps leaving bathroom light on, doors open (including the front door and just managed to catch LO before she disappeared out the door!!).

    I've updated my signature for my cc. I transferred £900 to my other cc (6.9% for 4 years). I also made a payment of 79p which was cashback I got. The up side of not being at work is no parking charges.
