    I couldn't speak, but I was pointing at the screen with OH wondering why. Then he realised that it was Watchdog and I only get overly excited when a certain Mr M Lewis is on. :D Good plug for the website though!

    I liked the teasing bit of chest hair that poked through the fashionably open top buttons on the shirt.......

    As regards the actual content of the programme, I watched the film with the family and found it really interesting as only last night I went onto USwitch to see about switching my electricity and found it as easy as the clip with Martin showed.

    Hi guys

    Just got back. Im going to write a blog on it - but basically I'm so pleased none of you noticed my mistake. I said silly bug-gers on air .................. aaaah! Can't belive it

    We were very short of time (the package i did was cut in half) i was VERY annoyed with myself!

    Phew - no one seems to have noticed!

    Yeah I noticed it but I didn't mind - you could have said much worse :) Thanks for the great advice though - I was unusre what to do whether to switch from powergen or not (not only because of prices but because of the appalling customer service) but I think I'm gonna hold tight for now.
