    That's great news about the charges Stacy,that must have really made your weekend.

    Thanks everyone :). I'm just waiting for my tax rebate cheque to clear Wendz, then I'll transfer all the money to my dads accoount in one lump and I'll be done, can't wait! Can I third the red bull thing? I've spent a couple of hours in bed today, everyone on my team at work has been ill and I think I might be getting it. I keep using that vicks first defence stuff so I haven't got it really badly yet...

    I've spent most of this morning clearing out my clothes, I have a full black bag for charity and another one with bits to put in the loft. I should really try putting it on ebay too as most of it has been worn no more than once and is quite decent, but to be honest I'm too lazy and I don't think the return would be worth it.

    I find I didn't get more than 99p on a lot of my clothes (to be fair not expensive brands) so save it all for carboot sale now, can get a quid for it and don't have to do all the posting etc.
