    Hi all,

    Have a bit of a sore head this morning! My Quidco has been paid so have another £37 to put into my credit card. I wish the 0% was on it for longer but there is nothing I can do as I applied for a card before Xmas and was turned down. I am off to update my signature!

    Morning. Oh, I'd like to be snowed in as well, but live in the city and walk to work so no chance. It's snowing, but not sticking as much as on Monday. Some fantastic sig peeps. :)

    Not snowed in sadly so working away - unfortunately even if I was snowed in I could work from home as have a laptop. We only have about an inch of snow.... I must admit I was hoping for more!
