    We fixed our prices back in 2006 until 2010, but when we come off that, it'll kill us :o

    Thanks so much Sammy. I'll let you know if I like it or not ;)

    Where do your out laws live then?

    Ouch at the 5.30 start tomorrow :eek:

    They live in Liverpool.

    Been on the Wii! I am a casual athelete apparently.. Wet my pants doing the jogging and chloe (DD3) was trying to do the step at the same time as me.

    I have a BMI of 27.3 and I need to try and get it down to 23.7. Also need to lose 1 stone 8 lbs at a rate of 2lb per week which will take me 6 months!

    Was going to get up early tomorrow and have a go then I remembered I have go be up and out by 5.30:eek:

    BB - I agree the price has made me gulp but she loves gaming and I think the whole family might get fun out of this....

    Same here Spud! Whilst I'm very grateful at the moment that I don't have to worry about any price changes, but come April 2010 the leap might be too high to bare! Might have to get used to being wrapped in jumpers and blankets rather than have the heating on!

    not sure really Len, my old friend. To top it I'm starting teaching in September and whilst it's only 2 hours a week, there will be preparation etc.

    oooh, for the days of a humongous salary again :rolleyes: ........but, I took the decision to walk away from my career and start again from the bottom and being broke is part of it.

    Maybe I'll sell my body........

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    ok, maybe I won't.................:rotfl:

    The extra pain is that Norwich Union have withdrawn my pay as you drive insurance and I've got about 3 weeks to find a new policy with someone. Pay as you drive was fantastic - I was only paying £12 a month!

    I was on that as well, really fed up when they pulled it..not up for renewal until October though.:o
