    Hi Turfy, its your diary so you post when ever you feel like it. I usually post when I think I've got something marginally interesting to post or when I'm down or annoyed. Have you got a title yet?

    Just read your diary lucielle *subscribes* (when I should be working - oh well :o)

    You are doing tremendously and it's great to see the inroads that you have made to being DF. I'm hoping to become a long hauler like you (if my creditors don't get other ideas while I sort myself out!)

    I do feel a little bit greedy drinking up all the inspiration and motivation from other diaries sometimes! :rotfl:

    Well I have dropped a huge, hairy, ballock. managed to go over agreed overdraft not once, not twice but THREE RUDDY TIMES and Barclays have kindly charged me £66 for their reserve usage fee. After a very stroppy half on the phone I got no where and then to be asked to update my details so they could offer me further credit was a bit of a slap in the face to say the least. I declined their kind offer. She asked if she could help with anything else? Apart from refund the charges, NO!. Unfortunately she was unable to do that. There's a surprise.

    Been and done a mega shop today. I have spent a lot of money as I have doubled up on the shopping so my step dad can take some food parcels upto Skye with him and leave them at friends until we arrive as everything was really expensive last time.

    I have bought the children some things ready for going back to school even though they haven't broken up yet. I have got my youngest DDS leavers service tomorrow. OH has taken the day off work and I will meet him at school.

    Had to let the horses out of tjheir starvation paddock as the farmer wanted to top the grass. They thought they were being sooo clever running off when the electric fence was down. They were quite funny shuffling past then farting their way over to the furthest corner eyeballing us occasionally. Make the most of it boys you are back in soon!
