    What you all going to do without the rambling for two weeks?!

    Die inside a little.
    and when you come back we'll knatter up 20 pages, that's what!

    Sounds like all your plans are coming together, Dinah!

    It is silly the charges for insurance sometimes, my brother has been driving for years with no claims and it's still in the thousands for him.

    Who else has had stupid constant snow since 10am? Now at about 3inches although apparently up at mums school in Durham it's about 6inches.

    Me me me! Just had an email from the VC to say that they're closing the uni at 4 - exactly the time I was going for my birthday massage at the wellbeing centre :mad: :mad: :mad: I was really looking forward to it as well :(

    OH got sent home from work in Durham at lunchtime, said the roads were gridlocked all the way back to Shotton, but he said he'll come and take me for tea come hell or high water, which was very sweet. He might have to throw in a massage as well :p

    Grats Cinny, might be a good day for holidays all round, NIM is hinting he might say yes to Egypt! (You watch, I'll get home and it'll be £200 more expensive or I won't have noticed in the ts and cs you have to take responsibility for brining back an illegal immegrant or something). What you all going to do without the rambling for two weeks?!

    Aren't you going to take us on holiday with you?! :confused:
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Think how much you've saved in such a short time Cinny. Just put a little aside and often, it's like the payment a day thing. You don't notice it then.

    It's £8 because it's two buses, and return on one, it's only about 20p for a return but he had to get a taxi out the other night as I was stuck at work and he had no way to get home!

    Aww sorry, you can be my outbound illegall immegrant if you want?! Apparently the hotel has free net access and wifi.... I will NOT take my laptop, this is time to relax, but I might well pop on the net to say hi. Will not be so much moneysaving news as 'beach still hot, NIM was drooled on by camel' news.

    Lol yeah you do all really deserve it, but I think I'd be back to where I was last August if I took you all, and then you'd have another year of my rambling. Not that I'm going anywhere of course, I'm still going to twitter on about dooyoo, stp, surveys, scratchies and MS even once I'm DF. Oooooh uber challenge, think I could go mad on the ebay/amazon front and clear all the remaning debt in 6 weeks before I go?!

    Christ, that'd be = to £70.07 a day. Maybe that's aiming a little high. Would be an amazing DF celebration though!
