So Toots, what are your ebay stats now?!

And you and Dusty need to get your gas/electricity sorted out soon. You're wasting money :rolleyes:

That goes for any of the rest of you who haven't yet checked whether you're on the best deal recently too. You can switch regularly, so don't spend more than you have to. You neve know, you might even be able to switch the heating on occasionally :rotfl:

I'm VERY pleased that I didn't make up my mind about my mortgage the other week... as the rate has just gone down from 6.49% to 6.19%, and if I'd fixed it would have been on 6.29%. Sometimes being indecisive works:beer:

No flying done today, despite Pigpen very kindly scheduling the study for me as work has been pretty much flat out. I think I need it to be warmer if I'm going to try to do anything - I'm in hibernation mode at the moment.

I've just been reviewing my objectives as set at the beginning of the year, and have realised that I either need to get them amended, or I'm going to fail dismally... I've been doing something completely different
