    Sorry, I won't tell you about ice cream :rolleyes:

    Orville is well and truly stuck, if I remove him, the IM goes.....suppose I could go on the techie board, not sure how well received my problem will be!

    Now, what's this about you not actually being a hamster? It's not on you know, I've always visualised you as a star from Tales of the Riverbank. I thought I was talking to a celebrity....

    How is Ratty these days?

    Daily update

    Financially, with any luck, it's the quiet time of the month. I get paid next Friday and the direct debits have long left my account. It means I have an idea of what is left at the end of the month.

    I have to pay the building insurance premium back to my credit card. I paid by card as I was nervous about what would be left at the end of the years longest month:eek: Turns out it won't be a problem as I budgeted correctly :j so I'll send it across next week from my current account.

    I had changed landline supplier late last year, but I can't access the details of my online bill, the breakdown functions don't work and neither does their helpline!

    Other than that not a lot to report on. I'm doing some research on slightly more exciting packed lunches - not too exciting don't need something jumping out at me....Found a few ideas and will incorporate them into my meal plan tomorrow

    L

    Hoss now fine, back to normal opinionated self and the long flowing forelock and mane are just that! Scrunchie removed! He is being a trifle silly with a lot of bouncing round, so need to take him out for a gallop, just hope my nerves can take it! It's going to be windy this weekend :eek:

    I see your hoss is also sound, so you'll be out and about too!
