    Morning All!!!!!!!!!
    Louise - HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow and Congrats on the weight loss..
    well not much to report from me today although I am really pleased with myself as I have had my TC renewal back and I have managed to save more than the extra I got last year ... I did find out that in November my payments are going down by 150.00 a month so I have decided to transfer that to my saving each month from now so that it's not a huge shock come November, it also mean a slight budget re jig but I am sure I will be able to manage that and on the plus side it means that I will save £600.00 by Nov as well!!!!!!
    Happy Positive thoughts for ALL today xxxx

    Ah but if they increased the age limit their demographic would reduce and they would make les profit so the premiums would go up. By increasing the demographic they should be able to reduce premiums as the risk of a claim is reduced.

    Good Morning All

    My 2nd day back in the fold, and I must say I feel a lot happier and calmer than I did a few days ago.

    Late start for me at work today, and to be honest I think I need it. Some horrid news at work, makes me really *not* want to be there.... dreadful attitude and I hate feeling like that, so when I get home from work today, I'll be working very hard to search out new jobs and civilisation (ode to Star Trek there!)

    Shouldnt be spending a penny either, spent FAR too much yesterday so need to reign it in today considerably!

    Morning all; nothing particular to say. Thanks to those who helped with the code for M&S; ordered £135 in clothing last night including 2 suits. As I can return the clothes to a store then I could splurge; I'd hate to pay postage.

    Have a good day all and hugs to those who need it.

    Sorry to hear you are not enjoying your job - considering it's the place where most of us spend most of our day, that's not nice.

    Hope your day goes well and good luck with the job-hunting.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
