    Hi Benben...

    Hope you and little one are well. I'm off to Cornwall at lunchtime for four days with the boys on a cheapie Sun Holiday.....:j:D

    Regarding your radio code, a lot of cars have it written on the top of the radio (the bit you can't see when it's fitted). I've swapped cars around a lot and always take my CD player with me. The code was written on the top by someone who had it before me....:T

    If this doesn't work, try "1234" or "9998", they often work too.

    Postie has been and had no parcel ... he said it will be on a separate van and could come anytime between 7am-6pm :mad: Not impressed at all :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I have also completed a form for the mortgage and phoned my old mortgage company, I will have to pay a £99 admin fee (what admin costs that much ??? :rolleyes:) when I leave, but I will quickly save more than that so isn't really a major problem.

    Have taken a few photos to get bits on ebay, but its all 99p stuff so have no motivation whatsoever to do it :o Might go and look for some new matched betting sites first ...

    Ds and I went to the harbour after lunch and got a bag of chips and watched the boats come in and out, then went to the bus depot to see buses which wasn't anywhere near as scenic :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I spent more than I should have again :o:o (£3 on car park :eek:, 89p on a drink, 1.30 on chips, 99p on bfg book in oxfam for ds, 3.49 on choccy for easter and a scrapbook for ds holidays, 2.80 on sweeties for easter :o and £25 in tesco on shopping which at least was less than I was expecting).

    I also popped back to the car shop and the different guy said he wasn't sure either, bring it in on wednesday and someone else can have a look :rolleyes:, but he thinks it could be the on'off switch which costs about £50 to replace :eek::eek:

    Hey BB...

    When I had my Astra, if I had to re-enter the code,there was a combination of keys to do it, can't remember tho!!! doh! :o

    Have you got the books that came with your car?It will tell you how to do it in the stereo book. As for the code, mine was on a little card from Vauxhall that had the car VIN number on it too.

    Hello all :D This morning I promised ds we'd go on a bus, so we went to the next town and spent £36 on new school shoes for him :eek::eek:, and £7 on lunch, and £4.50 on the bus :o:o

    I really need to get focused on the money stuff again as I am spending loads and not making any extra at the moment :o My tooth is really painful again today too, its been fine for a few days but is really playing up again today, almost looking forward to the dentists now on thursday :rolleyes::D
