    I love eurovision.... thought graham norton did a good job of filling the wogan shaped hole! The OH and I always do our own scorecards.... we both didn't like Norway :)

    Makes a change for us to come so high. Doubt we will ever win it again if Jade and ALW couldn't do it for us this year.... mind you prob not a bad thing seeing as I don't think the UK could afford to host it next year anyway!

    We had our first appraisal today and it went really, really well :D. The end part was to discuss our level of pay. There's three levels and we're level one so no worries about being moved down :rolleyes:. I went in all prepared for my argument to be raised to level 2..... and they raised us to 3 :T

    I am soooooo HAPPY!!!!!!!!!:j:j:j:j

    It means around £450 a month extra to pay off the debts.... off to see what a difference it could make to our debt free date.
