    I will come in covered in mud and wrestle you both for him - not that I particularily like Johnny depp - but happy to fight anyway.

    (THUD THUD THUD goes hammy the hamster)

    I can run between your ankles!

    Anyway can't we just WATCH him cleaning.?

    update - payday!!!

    First the good news

    I have temporarily won the work battle, my team is safe for now. The paper I did on cost effectiveness worked! Maybe I can sit out a little more of the recession and pay off more of the debt - fingers crossed

    I've paid £100 to the A&L card, this is the difference in minimum payments, as per snowballing. The card will be sub £1K next month :T

    The bad news

    The insurance says it won't pay out for the house repairs. I am allowed to appeal, so I'll be doing that. I don't know what else to do otherwise, may have to add to the mortgage :mad:

    And I still haven't heard back about my PPI claim, despite chasing it a couple of weeks ago

    We need to be clear about this: are we watching hamster or Johnny Depp do the cleaning?

    HOW ABOUT JACK SPARROW AND CAPTAIN JACK (Torchwood)
    (almost keeps in theme with the diary too)

    THUD TASTIC

    Great news about the cards Piq and the job - hope you manage to fight your corner with the housing insurance - its a house - its insured - these people make me so mad.

    But - if hamster wears his sequinned thong - its a hard call.
