They're not stars, you silly stripey hobbit!

They're asteriskisksiks for people who aren't quite doing 72hrs but it would be mean to kick them off the list

I'm sure your SRC willow clones are fascinating () but I'm little far away to be much use

Don't worry, I never look at the sigs! Just make a post clearly marked to me in huge red font or something (I'm getting on a bit and losing the old vision) and I'll make the update!

Oh good lord, what have I started! Have to say I'm loving it - but apologies to all the normal sighted folks / folks who know they have sight issues and have addressed it though specs/contacts/laser surgery out there.

I have been sorting out my finances and this month is going to be tiiiiiggghhhht. I was working as temp and this month first month as permanent so moving from weekly payments to monthly. I have only budgeted £67 for whole month for food, household, petrol etc...(oh and my fridge, freezer and pantry are empty apart from lots and lots of beans )

Better go and put breadmaker on with a timer so that I can at least take some fresh bread in the morning for lunch with me.

ETA: sorry almost forgot to say:

3 for me please GG
