    Good luck Boris!! :)

    And good luck to you too Maz! It looks like a nice car, not that I would know really :o as I have so far in my life owned a 10 year old fiesta and a 10 year old micra, and am currently car-free. :o

    I have another question if I may.......Is anyone aware of a booksdirect scam? Reason I ask is that Ive paid the £1.99 for 2 books and have to buy another 2 in the next 12 months, but I registered for it through the AVG website and part of the deal was Full AVG for 12 months. I havent received the books yet and they are denying all knowledge about AVG?? Doh

    no idea... i think i preferred the poo question!

    okay maybe preferred isn't the word!!

    In this case, apparently not so little!:eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    (sorry to be giggling at your discomfort Len - you'll never ask us for help again! Seriously babes. Get yourself along to the doctors. (They'll probably request a sample.) It'll give you peace of mind.)

    You had better take a bucket with you then:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Not heard about it Len, have you had a search on here?

    I really should log off and get dressed, then do some work. I'm so unmotivated.

    my sig is my best point of reference as to how i'm getting on...

    if you have room, it's nice to put on the totally cleared ones too.. i wish i'd left mine on there, as already i forget about the ones i've paid off.....

    I have over different 10 cards in total so don't think there'll be room for them all! I did pay off two store cards last month though AND I accidentally made an overpayment on my Topshop card so I'm £30 in credit......might go and buy a new dress! :D Have one store card left to pay off and then 6 (ish) credit cards I think. :eek:
