    Morning everyone, I won £5 on my second scratch and a few £1's, but I never got over £10. Amongst my presents I've got £20 in cash for my birthday which I'm going to take off of the overdraft (boring as that is). Biology exam later, then I think my friend is going to try and drag me to a metal night at a local chav club, have never been there and am a bit sceptical.

    Hi everyone

    Happy Birthday Nicky!

    Jen - sounds like you have a lot going on, hope it all works out.

    I had a phonecall today saying my tickets are now being sent to me for holiday, was meant to be picking them up at airport. My sister is staying in tomorrow for them , just hope they get here. Hate these sort of stresses.
