    If you look at the green strip towards the top of the screen there is a bit that says "User CP", click on that then click on "Edit Signature" and it will allow you to add in a signature that you can change whenever you want. Just be aware that it cannot be more than 5 lines long - and MSE's version of 5 lines long is not always the same as mine......I can only generally get 4!!!

    El - look on the bright side....the longer it is til the results are out the longer it is before you have to commit to parting with your cash!! (fingers crossed for him though!)



    i was thinking this funnily enough ...how sad is it that you actually want to be owing your son £200 sad sad sad lol

    Hi, yes my Legal & general money arrived today but I am going to try and continue my ISA - I don't have any emergency savings so if I can work the £50 into the budget for a while I will do so, to give us something to fall back on if we need it.

    it will be straightforward to cash it in though - you may well be able to give instructions over the phone.

    I am still waiting for £120 for my car insurance though - put in a claim and they have agreed it but no sign of the money yet :mad:

    Cabin much tidier than before and I started sorting out some more papers and found £9 clubcard vouchers!!!!!!

    So I am well chuffed! That is an extra £36 in clubcard deals on top of what I have already got saved :T No idea what I am saving for yet, but hey, I have just added to it so all good!

    client about to arrive so hopefully another £30 richer in an hour or so :D

    My business started in the dining room......it was a little while before I progressed to the cabin!

    I have to say it was lovely working in there this evening - with the rain outside, it was lovely and cosy inside. And of course I got £30 for the privilege, which always helps the "cause" :D

    Are you enjoying the work more now that it's not your main source of income? I wondered if there was maybe a bit less worry attatched to it now?
