  • Jen if you're still around, what are you getting done at the dentist? You seem to be there a lot (I'm sure you said why but it's on the old thread and I've forgot :S)

    Just checked ebay and I sold some stuff when I was at college. This has been one weird day!

    Just posted another dooyoo and need to start going through the responses and returning the ratings again :) Next big things to do is a major car review - I asked them to add a car that wasn't on there and they have so now I need to write the review for it! Yikes! :) Might take me a couple of days as I want it to be a good one!

    Morning all. Wow well done CL on all those wins, thats a great start to the year. And you'll be fine at college next week and pass that exam, think positively.

    I have to do some serious catch up of reading on Dooyoo today, and maybe a bit of writing too.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Good luck at dentist Jen

    Morning everyone, I need to clear all of the cr*p out of my car soon. I'm pretty sure I have 4 pairs of shoes in there amongst other things, my car is actually quite an embarassment.

    Well done on your wins CL, sounds like you had pretty good day! I'm thinking about trying to do a bit of comping this year, do you know roughly how many comps you enter a day or week?

    well done CL-glad you did go to college, perhaps the wins were good karma for going!!
    Done 2 dooyoo reviews, just finished one and had an email saying my suggestion had been processed so did that as well whilst i could be bothered!!
    Having done some investigation into wii prices i dont think i will be getting one-i wanted the balance board wiifit thing but by the time you buy the console, that,and extra controllers its a bleedin fortune! Might get myself one when i'm debtfree. Will carry on collecting Amamzon vouchers i think to buy birthday/next years xmas presents with. its not eating into my debt payments then.

    Waters still frozen and fed up with washing in the sink with water from kettle so going out mums later for use of her power shower :-)

    Thanks Yukki. I was running about like crazy beforehand, the water for my wipers had frozen up and I was convinced it wouldn't defrost before the test, but after a run down the M23 it did, and it passed! I was so surprised. Oh, and there was a lady with a StBernard in the test centre, the dog was so lovely :) (and that kept my dad happy lol).

    My dad said I needed some new oil which I've had to spent £18 on, but it's still less that I thought I would be spending, and I don't think I've ever bought oil for my car... We're waiting for the engine to cool down so he can top that up. I think I'm going to put a celebratory £25 in my ISA lol, I was keeping a bit of money back for repairs but won't need it now.
