It's a right dreich day as we say up here...It's been dark most of the day with either drizzle or pouring rain...Seems that now it is actually dec it's become less seasonal weather LOL...Went to DSS and the place was empty which was a pleasant surprise :o) ...Also had another pleasant surprise in that i won't be paying them back money they have overpaid me as it was their mistake not mine...I didn't even know they had been overpaying me as i hadn't realised they hadn't stopped paying for K...I had informed them she was leaving and that is on record...Bets someone somewhere blames a computer as is the norm...Wonder who always got blamed before computers were commonplace...As i was going to leave i saw one of my friends come in so waited for her then we went for a coffee...Helped K's friend move some of her stuff to her new place...She does need some furniture moved though so we came back to mine and went to see bloke out the back...He's a furniture restorer/french polisher but does a man & van service too...So am footing the bill as her birthday pressie.
Am glad i haven't bought any of the boys christmas pressies yet as most of the game shops now have offers on...I have seen a mobile for K that is a camera phone and just under £60...I also found out today why the reason the shop just down the road that sells lots of dragons is closed just now...Apparently the owner is in jail <eeeks> ...There is another shop sells some but he's very expensive and can be a right pain when you ask prices...Be better if he put the prices on display grrr...M didn't want to go to school again this morning as it's friday...So he stormed off to his taxi when it arrived...Surprisingly he came home in a good mood...So again i tried to ask what was wrong with fridays...He actually told me and it is music at the high school local to his sen school...He doesn't like the music teacher there...At least i know now so i can inform his teacher and see if anything can be done to make the visit less stressful for him...G had the exam situation properly explained to him and he's happy with what will be put in place, so he signed the permission letter :o) ...Am presuming this is the permission that needs to be given not just for his prelims but for the actual standard grades in may...The arrangements have to be approved by the SQA before the exams take place...G is off to a friends after tea and i think i will check the cards i still have from last year to write out ready to post...Better look for something for the <cossable> in the states to send off on monday...Just watched countdown and although am happy it's back i really don't like Des Lynam at all...He's so bland <yawn> ...Trying to do the free web entry for Deal No Deal viewer competition but it must be busy as it's taking ages to send...So offski to concentrate on that...Don't think i will have jeanette's luck though...Oh and yes the millionaires are up in arms as some of the houses will be compulsory purchased to knock down...They didn't object when it was going to go through the special needs community pah!!!

Love your Christmas music. When I try to load anything like that, it will not take it, do not know why. Glad that they are letting you keep the money. Yes, I think if you wait nearer to Christmas there will be lots of bargains around but I wanted to get it all done and dusted.
Caff so glad you don't have to pay any money back, after all it was not your mistake...It was the Computers.lol...Dreich describes the day we have here in Norfolk.....They have started reducing the prices of Gifts here and I expect they will go down even further just before Christmas...I hope you get some Bargains...I wonder why that chappie is in prison...poor man at Christmas time...But at least he will get a good Christmas dinner....Why am I not surprised that the Millionaires are up in arms....HaHaHa....Special Needs - come first.....Take care...and have a good weekend.....Ally

Glad you won with the social and don't have to pay any money back, i wasn't so lucky with the working families tax credits and appealed and didn't win even though it was not our fault and we had over 3 grand to pay them back in overpayments PAHHHHH!
