    Evening Lovely Peeps:D

    I got blown out by the focus group as they had all the people they needed and closed the (virtual) door on me........I was going to get £25 for it too:mad:

    Never mind.......I had a bit of a rest on the bed instead.

    Going to watch an eposode of Desperate Housewives soon with OH I Lurve Desperate Housewives.

    Cant think of owt else to say....:confused::D

    Is anyone else fed up of reading "ten ways to beat the credit crunch" type articles and thinking "yeah, yeah, tell us something we don't know!"? :rolleyes:

    Don't knock them. They're funny. Especially when they say "pay off your debt by getting a cheaper loan".

    Well I got accepted and even had a phone call tonight to confirm that I had downloaded the software and it was working OK............I then went to log in at the time they said and the message read "Room Now Closed"

    I rang them up and they said that they oversubscribe on the members they ask and once they have the number of people in the room they close it..........the rest !!!!!! out. Something they did not mention may happen:mad:

    or look at magazine (on line) and then find the thing most closely resembling it in your wardrobe... I noticed they didn't urge you to stop buying magazines though...;)
