    Blur was great, but crowd was crap, no one was dancing!! My bf was bit !!!!ed off with that.We were on the front, but behind the stupid barriers and a girl behind and a guy to the next of him complained cos he trod on their toes couple of times,go figure.

    Yes, Lisa does have an amazing voice,I'd go and see her again.

    Bruce was absolutely brilliant (not a fan) and he really put on a good show, my friend who was not with us and is a fan, was very jealous. Bit full of himself though.:rolleyes:

    Tom Jones was good but not as good as I expected (again not a fan, but just expected a bit more).

    Oh, also saw THe Specials and Madness, both very good.

    I only went to Glasto first time last year and was bit disappointed about the line up then, this year, much better and really enjoyed it. My bf has been going since '94 only missing couple of times. I think I would've like to have been there for '07 as well.

    Oh The Specials and Madness, used to love them too. Still do! Have never seen Madness live but saw The Specials years ago. Terry Hall wasn't with them so would love to see them again now that they are all back together. Am so so jealous of you. All my favourite bands!

    Someone I worked with in my day job worked at Pet Plan doing data entry so she got me an interview and I worked there for a year or so, then I left but 6 months or so later I went back again. It was good as when it was really busy they let us do overtime on the weekends. I left again after meeting OH and they all got made redundant a year or so later.

    Hi TooMuch,

    If I have a direct debit and it doesn't go out on one day it usually goes out the next day.

    It's cute that the kids wanted to see you. They obviously love their Mum!

    11p more to student loan pot from interest. Also £21.69 to come through from amazon next week. Could use the money elsewhere, but I've decided all amazon money is extra and will go towards student loan. That's my debt busting till next pay day I think. :o

    Thanks CMD - I hope it comes out tomorrow, I've never had it not come out on the 1st before in 13 years, just Sod's Law, I like things to come out when the should so I know where I am with what I have in my bank.

    My eldest said that she cried a bit when I left (she's 5) which I thought was sweet, Daddy seemed to cope OK with getting their dinner and feeding the baby.

    Got a few Ebay parcels to post later plus DD1 wants to buy OH a football for his birthday so I'll have to go to the Sports shop up the road and get one.

    Another month knocked off from DFD! :j
    Went to play with snowball calculator and another 2months will be knocked off when I've paid my virgin cc and all money can go towards student loan. Also checked what would happen if I had no holiday or entertainment budget. That would reduce it with further 4months, but don't think my life would be worth living if I couldn't do anything untill December 2011 :confused:?

    Hmmm, my entertainment budget is only £20 and I only really do cinema, hardly ever go out, but meals (cheap, once every two/three months) with friends comes out of that as well and anything else I want to do,rare gigs, theatre etc. Only saving £30 towards holidays as well. I don't think that's much,is it? That's why I was saying about the second job...

    hello y'all

    I am looking for exercise classes in my area, I have found an african aerobics one which sounds fun (from what i can tell it is a cross between african dancing and aerobics)

    I have got to do something about the size of my bum :(
