    glad to hear he seems ok ...nice one on the hair cut ....and ijust knew you would go for the fuller challenge ...


    i have figured us out i think ...were both very very busy people that go for the goals we want in life we take them to the line and get there through sheer bl00dy determination ...and we dont like house work ...hmmmm i can see a pattern develop lol ...

    Have been very busy - changed house Insurance and saved £70. Applied for new credit card with 0% balance tf - and am now sat down in shock as they have granted it with - wait for it - a £13500 limit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don;t want that much - good job I'm sensible !

    It will of course be cut up as soon as the balance is transferred.

    Rest of Christmas presents ordered and some have already tracked through quidco - just got to wrap them when they come !!!!

    Going to watch Mamma Mia tonight - DS ordered it and it came here not Swansea !!!!!!!!!!

    Hope you have a nice quiet evening Hypno.

    blimey surfbabe, that is an amazing amount.....quick, book a holiday in the caribbean :rotfl:

    Seaxwyn - wrap up warm.....it is mighty nippy out there! My mind was made up for me re my run today when the student asked me to collect her from football training at a time when I would normally be running.......rather than add another job to my evening, I am going to switch one for the other, so that I don't make myself even more tired than I am already! (good excuse.....)

    I haven't done any of the jobs on my list yet........gaaaaaa!!!!!!!

    I go to one of those turn up and see who you get haircut places - the cut's always really nice, but its always slightly different each time nowadays, I managed to have it vaguely similar for about a year, which was nice.

    Glad you're looking after yourself tonight, Hypno, its *so* cold. As for the jobs ... pah!

    The mystery shop site keeps logging me out, and when I go back in it says "unfortunately your answers submitted have not been saved"......so I have given up for now and will give them a call tomorrow.
