    ROFL @ Captan going to the pub and trying to get himself drunk...I didn't really see him as the alco-pops type mind you.....! We too have had marvellous weather all through the weekend and have got a bit of rain now - actually feels like we're going to have a storm any time now.

    Well done on the cheque - it's a nice feeling isn't it - playing them at their own game!!

    It's the bottle, not the contents! He can get a bottle between his teeth and throw the contents down his neck before I can dismount!

    The cheque feels good, all I need is for it to clear and it's off the card - hurrah!!

    I haven't been around as much as I'd like, work is manic and I'm working on the project from Hell, luckily idiot boss is not involved.

    Just wanted to say I paid the excess minimum payments total of £115 to the card. Hopefully the cheque I paid in the other day will clear tomorrow and I can pay the wretched thing off this month!
