    Becci that is good on the refund, glad you got it that way, so much easier than sending it off and reordering.

    Housework done, just waiting on some bits on the bay that I have finishing, hoping that some of the parcels arrive today as well that have been dispatched. Might do some more gift wrapping.

    That's silly Emma, never heard that you can't put a partner as next of kin before because you aren't married! If he is successful with the job when would he be likely to start? At least there's not too long to wait until you are married - he can change it over then!

    Just checked my advantage points and now have just over £60 on there. That will come in handy this christmas.

    Was checking the bay last night for iphones, currently highest bidder on one which seems an excellent buy but I know I will get out bidded on it but if not it will save me instead of getting a contract.

    He has to wait a week to hear then he has to do a fitness test so wouldn't be until after Christmas that he would start, could be the end of Jan/ Feb so it would only be a few months until he could change it over.

    Yeah my OH is my next of kin in work, he said even the guy that interviewed him said it was stupid but it's just the rules.

    If I don't get this one I shall phone my service provider and see what deals they can do on a second phone for me. Will tell them I ahve researched and how much I could get it for and see what they say.

    Spuds peeled ready for dinner tonight. Laundry load on, thought I had best check to see if any needed doing, there was a smallish load so decided best to do it rather than wait until Thursday when it will be more.

    OH gone to his mum and dads to cut them some wood for their log burner.

    Hi, Cant wait for today to be over :(
    I am slowly learning to hate Tuesdays. They are such a long day leave at 7 and don't get home till 10:30.

    I wish I could go straight home from work tonight and get excited about the house with OH but just wont happen.

    Its sad because I wont see him now until the weekend because he's on lates getting home at 11..

    Hey ho, will have to get excited about it on my own tomorrow night x

    Great news on the mortgage Emily.
    I forced hubby to view our new build even though we could only just afford the stamp duty. When we said to the sales lady we love it but stamp duty will cripple us, she said if we could act quick (which we could as we were first time buyers in rented), we could negotiate a deal where the developer would pay the stamp duty. Win!
    Really was a case of right place, right time :)

    Im not sure what they're going to do Emily. I think the reason they've not gone to the police yet is because he is the full time carer for the kids now SIL moved out. if it wasn't for the kids I think he would be locked up by now
