    Finally got a Valued Opinions survey that I wasn't screened out of! That's £10 worth of Amazon vouchers that I can find a use for in the run up to Christmas and the end to my surveying career.

    Good morning all :waves: Nice short day at work for me today!

    I have transferred a few quid into my ISA, won 65p on my scratchies, chucked another couple pounds of shrapnel (£s, not lbs) into my sealed jars and am starting the day in an optimistic frame of mind.

    Have updated my sig - not long 'til Christmas now...

    Another £2 for my ISA fund (cash), another couple of quid for my ISA (electronic) and some shrapnel for the 'sealed jar o' riotous Christmas living' :D This is starting to read like a PAD challenge!

    Sitting catching up on some internet time before my GF gets home - will we go straight to hell for a dinner consisting of four cheese pizza, beer battered onion rings, salad and Hagen Daaz?

    Re-sult! Good stuff - pleased for you (if the car's not wrecked?) You must update your own diary - don't keep us all on tenterhooks now :T

    So soggy! :(

    Popped out to town, where I:
    1. Opened a new bank account
    2. Got Christmas presents for my Dad and Gran
    3. Picked up some travel toiletries
    4. Got soaked!

    Currently drying off and waiting for lunch - exhausted. Have to say I was relatively impressed with Natwest. The staff were friendly (if a little harried) and it was good to get away from my local A&L branch (which seems to specialise in making me feel inadequate for having a basic bank account!)

    Grand, thanks - although she's less than amused that I'll be in Scotchland Monday/Tuesday :D
