    Hockeyduo - yup that's what I keep telling myself - its not a real loan - and I am only on a phd stipend so I don't have to pay it back yet.

    My MSc fees were on a graduate loan from Lloyds at 3.4% I think - very very cheap.

    Excellent sock action

    Molly - will put the kettle on for you - 559 is about the same as to grannie-annies :)

    Its 267 to my OH house :)

    Hmmm, being squished in jeans is very motivating.....I am always motivated to put them in the bottom drawer, with the promise that I will fit in them soon:rolleyes:

    As I am not a size 8 they are generous and thankfully stretchy. Long jumper on too

    Hope you are starting to mend - taking arnica?? It would help!!

    Visions of HP with silly flying hat on (dunno why) and using binoculars in a bunker type arrangement - flask, tilly lamp and sandwiches at the ready for a ..........................................................snail stake out:rotfl:

    Mabye they have a snail emergency system with little roller skates that pop out for a speedy escape, other rescue snails on ropes by the walls shouting for them to move move move ...................no snail left behind :)

    Unfortunately, the shoulder came right out, so the muscles etc are very bruised. Arnica is good, so is wine.... I'm not supposed to ride for four to six weeks :eek::eek:
