  • It is weird but a good thing when all mates in same situation. I have a few friends who are the same and everyone deals with it differently, one couple seem to constantly buy themselves hols another loves Jacob joins or quiet nights in. I personally prefer a quiet night with friends and love freebie nights at theatre and pictures.

    Eh Z~Whats this plant a tree thingy:confused:
    Enjoy your hols?

    Well you know - plant a small sapling and keep watching it grow everytime you look at it - bit like savings.

    I did enjoy my holidays - spent not doing all that much. And now talking of holidays spent not doing much...Easter..!

    ever set yourself stupid MS rules? since the clocks changed I have been determined not to turn the lights on until 8pm - makes reading between 7 and 8pm rather difficult at the minute but it's probably saving me oooo 0.1p per day! nuts!
