Jen,

I see your light is on again. Are you not working?

 

[JLDSMD]

Non-working, rebate spending FO.

Rose,

If you put the deposit for the cruise on a Disney Visa card, you'd have 6 months of 0%. It won't be due until the check comes.

That will be perfect timing.

See, Jeff has it all figured out!

Plus, if the rebate thing falls through, you *could* cancel if you needed to before the payment is due.

You could book today!!!!

Jen,

Sigh...busted again...back to work

The light's on, but no one's home....

Here's another question....

Since we get off the boat on Halloween, does anyone want to try and organize a trick-or-treat for the kids in the group? Maybe during a sea afternoon or something?

Just a thought...

Sounds like fun!

Karen - Thanks for the suggestions!

My main is actually going to be cooked in a slow cooker, so I will not have to do to much with it. I will have a fruit salad I need to prep, but I can do that ahead. Other family members are bringing starters and desserts. I'm just worried about keeping the house clean with an almost 5 year old running around!

I have to buy food and wine tomorrow (a lot of wine!) so I'll make my list tonight...

Why dont you get Thomas to "help" you .

Get him his very own "cleaning kit". Duster, polish, dust pan and brush etc.

While you are blitzing the downstairs why dont you get him to do his room and maybe your bedroom? He'll feel very important and grown up and if he gets nothing done - who cares - just shut the door and forget those rooms

Get him to make up his own list - he can draw pictures of his jobs - like make his bed, sweep the floor etc and tick them off as he goes. Kids usually love that sort of thing at his age and it will keep him out of your hair for a while. Get a favourite dvd on standby too so he justs sits quietly and doesnt mess up the rooms you've done. He / you can make "out of bounds" post-its and stick them to each door once you've cleaned it to remind him not to mess it up- just remember to take them down before your guests arrive or they'll think you're mad

The main thing is to have fun and not worry about a bit of mess - we're all human (well most of us are....I'm not so sure about Jeff )and only have one pair of hands so dont stress over whta doesnt get done - jsut have fun and remember - the more wine you drink the less your eyes will be able to focus on the mess - thats it!... - just get your guests drunk!

Hey Jen, when first read the beginning of your post I read it as, "My man is actually going to be cooked in the slow cooker........"

Rose,

6 months of 0% interest, but payments still need to be made during those 6 months, correct?

anyone else hear that ZINGfrom across the pond?

 

[Verandah Man]

Woof!!!

 

[disgrits]

Yep, I found that out the hard way. I had a "late fee", so I called them and they took it off but he told me I had to pay the minimum....I felt like an idiot. It was only about $25, and even less this month.

C'mon Rose, do it do it do it!

Just saw this on the main cruise forum board:

Board Downtime!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From WebmasterAlex:

We need to evaluate the effect the "long threads" are having on board performance. In order to do that we will be "hiding" the long threads for 24 hours. They will come back so no need to panic
I will be shutting the boards down around 11pm to move the threads around and make some other changes.
If you are a participant in one of these threads please feel free to start another thread tomorrow.
A long thread will be over 10,000 posts for the purpose of this experiment

No, just by the end of those 6 months.

I'm paying nothing right now on the BOB deposit. If you pay your bill off in full and then have a credit, it will reduce that balance though.

C'mon Rose, do it do it do it!

I've never had ONLY the cruise payment on their, so I don't know first hand, but I'm surprised they would have a minimum for the 0%.

Did you have other items besides the cruise?

 

[JLDSMD]

0% Fo?

Wow, I bet that means the Repo thread will be gone. I think we can stay bigger then them now.

Wonder if you subscribed to them if they will still be seen (i.e. KK1)?

O.K., lets run our thread to 9,999 tonight then people. We only have about 3,600 posts to go.

WOW - that's just colder than the other side of the pillow.
