    I was with a 29 year old when I was 17 so the age gap seems small to me!

    I'll have a look at that website thanks poodle. I have to wear daily disposables as I'm allergic to the cleaning solution of monthlys. As far as I'm aware that's the only reason they're expensive, as I refused to pay more for the ones that were slightly clearer as they went with the unusual curvature of my eye!

    If I ordered my new laptop today it would be £20 cheaper than in the 'sale' - I'm adding 'call Dell' to my to do list!

    I don't mind about the age, I'm abit too grown up for my age and he's immature for his so we meet in the middle. I have told him that when he turns 30 he'll be married (at least I blummin' hope married if we're still together then) to a 26 year old and he can feel like a bit of a stud. I cringed when I said that word then and I cringe when I write it now!

    That's really weird that they put the price down again! My mother would have me on the phone to them pronto if that was me. They should be able to refund you it, right?

    Hope so! Otherwise I'm cancelling the order and rebuilding it!

    Have did he react to the 'M' word? I've started shuddering when its said - not good!

    Got 50p on both my scratchies today - so happy not to have the yellow fish for once!

    He's completely calm about it! I do say 'when we get married' jokingly alot but the actual thought of it scares me completely! But then I am 17 and don't want to be married until my mid twenties. My mum says the only thing she regrets in her life is moving straight from living with her gran to living with my dad so I want to live on my own for abit before I even think of moving in with OH, nevermind about marrying the lad.

    Just looked on dell and the laptop I wanted to get him has gone up by £30.

    Oh I forgot to say, yesterday I had to spend over an hour on the phone to paypal, as they have refused my bank account for being invalid, and my other 2 are registered to an old paypal account I had hacked months ago so I can't use them. So now I'm trying to get those two accounts unregistered from the paypal account, so I can withdraw the £162 sat in there teasing me!

    Aye I think its important for people to live on their own and have responsibility, it used to concern me that OH lived at home, but he lived away for 2 years at uni, and his dad might as well be a flatmate as he doesnt do any running around after him and they live almost completely seperate lives, so doesn't worry me now!

    Free scratch cards, there is a long thread on them on up your income board, but basically butlins bingo and take a break bingo offer a free scratchcard each day to in credit accounts, guaranteed win. So open an account, transfer over £10, play one free scratchcard (minimum balance now £10.10) withdraw your £10. Now just log on daily and play the free card, I have about £8 in Butlins and £3.25 in TAB, but only been doing that one for 5 days. Butlins often give you a second card in a day, so always check again!

    Hm, I might have a look into that! I'd have to either wait until I'm 18 or pretend I am. Mum said she wouldn't mind me using her details as long as I switched them over as soon as.

    OH still lives at home, but I think he's after moving out on his own before we move in together too. What i'd hate is to move straight in with him and become his mother!
