    Thanks!

    Just managed to redeem for a amazon voucher on toluna, they usually take ages though.

    Hope you had a good night Wendz! I've heard Take That put on a great show :T

    Good luck with working out the housing situation - echoing Dinah, how was the flat?

    Wendz - did you see me.....:confused: I was the one in the black strappy top and cropped trousers :confused:

    You must have seen me - I was sitting near a girl in a white top and jeans, with her hair in a pony tail :confused:

    I waved :rotfl:

    The flat was OK. It was actually an OK size for me and OH. Not big but would be fine for us. The bedroom was really dark though as was hidden in the corner of the building and not much light got in. We might have a look at a couple of other flats in the same block. Also have seen a nice maisonette that has its own garden, might have a look at that too.

    Haha Hypno, i must have seen you then! Was really fun, loved all the old songs being mixed with the new stuff.

    Not much to report money wise. Had a look at my bank this morning and not actually doing too bad this month. Going to try and spend as little as possible this week and next as haven't got much planned.

    I am also copying Yukkis idea of rounding down my money in bank to nearest tenner and then I am sticking it in my OD fund. Today was 9.15 so a good start! I won't really miss the money and will help pay off OD quicker.

    It is a good idea the rounding up one, I am really tight for money this month though, might try it next month.

    Yeah, I like the 'rounding money' idea too. It sounds similar to Lloyds' Save the Change thing.

    Tis good that the flat is a good size, but I think the dark bedroom would get annoying. I wouldn't like it anyway! :p Good idea to have a look at the other flats in the block though :)
