    Hi Crazy, I like how you have your debt laid out in $. It means I suppose it comes down by more each month. What exchange rate do you use?

    Actually all our debt is in US $, that's why I've left it like that (although it does look like we're paying more off that way too!). It's all student debt (govt loans, private loans and credit lines...!) But the best exchange website we've found is www.xe.com
    Debt at highest 01/01/2008- $79,385.32 :eek:
    Debt now 01/03/2009 - $63,194.72

  • morning all. Got a message last night that my sixth form class have gone ski-ing, so no teaching this morning!!

    Last night - quick precis:

    6pm lock up to go to work. Pishing it down. Key gets jammed in door half way round. Get very wet trying to get key out as it won't go either way. Key eventually comes out. Wet all down my back - yuck.

    9.20pm Get home. Knackered. Key in lock, won't turn - either way :eek: . Pull door, push door, won't turn. Get wet. Text OH who is still at his house. He'll be 5 minutes. I sit in car, cold and aching from class

    9.45pm 5 minutes have turned into 20. OH turns up. Key won't turn. OH gets screwdriver and removes handle/casing. No joy. OH gets pliers. Key snaps in lock :eek: I find the keys for the other door in my bag(yale and a 'long' style key for a door not used in about 4 years). Yale - fine. Long key? There's one in the lock on the other side and it won't push out as it's half turned :eek: . Getting even wetter.

    10.30pm OH goes to back of house and luckily I haven't locked the top window of the bedroom (I have a bungalow). He climbs up ladders reaches in and undoes latch. He moves all the stuff away from the door I don't use that had the key on the other side and I get in, wet and knackered (long time since I've felt that :rotfl: )


    Lock then fine when door given a good push from the other side..........:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    11pm - eat dinner looking like a sticky haired poodle......:rotfl:

    Seems all the rain/snow had swelled the door and it wasn't quite shut and so the lock had somehow 'caught' half locked.

    Apparently the next stage was to take the beading off the door and remove the glass of the door with the key on the inside!

    Job for the day? Go to key cutter.............
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
