    Don't know what we'd do without hamster and his thudding... have to admit couldn't read the last few entries without snorting with laughter, somewhat embarrassing at work really :rolleyes:

    Not a lot to report financially, another £10 to the natwest card, accidental buying of belt :o hmmm, not sure how that happened.....

    I've had a major financial crisis. The car has been ill and my physio bills have hit the mat. In short, I've added another £1000 to my debt :eek: All costs are unavoidable, but, nevertheless, somewhat depressing....

    I might change my priority of debt busting and hit my Egg loan before clearing the natwest card. It would free up an extra £300 a month and clear down the other debts much faster. There's not a huge difference in the interest rates. I'll call Egg at lunchtime to check how to pay the extra.

    Oh well, onwards.....

    Think you pressed the italic key!

    No, I didn't get any money, just a yet more b*ggered shoulder! I'll just have to write it off to one of life's experiences, I suppose.

    How are you and the boys?

    The little fella, Einstein, is being very careful not to overdo things and get his recommended 16 hours sleep a day :rolleyes: He only seems to awake to the sound of the fridge door....

    The Captain, on the other hand, is full of the joys of spring. He has managed to lose his expensive sun/fly mask, I am planning a search of his field tonight. I really don't want to have to buy another one at £35!

    Hey Piq

    Have just read your thread but I'm only up to page 46!!! It is sooo long! I hope you don't mind me jumping on board, your tales of hairy horse friend antics have had me in stitches!! Along with much talk of naked hamptsers!!!

    Anyway I will keep reading and pop in again soon, thank you for making me smile.
