    Lenny - I would treat you to as many pints as you could handle in return for a bit of weeding!!!!

    Still lovely and warm, have found a bottle of pink Cava in the fridge. We are now going to look at the garden from a horizontal position to see if anything is growing at the moment.
    May just watch the ants though. Its good to have purpose in life:D

    I got my incremental pay rise this month :j:T

    A whole 30p per hour more :rolleyes: - before tax :eek:

    OK, I have £680 salary this month to play with. Well, not so much play, rather wring my hands with despair, but it will be fine.

    I really need to buy some contact lenses, I only have 2 or 3 old prescription ones left. I think I'll use my new CC for some, that will be around £30 which I can then pay off next month and it will trigger the free flights voucher.

    One of my shares is showing an £80-£100 profit today. I am tempted to pull the profit again, I think I'll wait until tomorrow to see if it goes up a bit more. I know very little about shares so not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I think if they are going to dip, they do it in the afternoon so I'll wait until tomorrow and see.

    make sure you check out the forums for the cheapest deal though. I know probably a lot of your cost is because of your prescription though:p

    tbh jinks, lenses are the same price whatever the strength, I buy the fortnightly ones and usually pay around £28 for 6 pairs and wear them for 3 weeks or so rather than the fortnight. The only problem I have is because they are a high prescription they sometimes aren't readily available and I've had them arrive from all over the world - Canada, Sweden, the USA! I'll definitely do a quick scan of the boards. I think I used Lensway last time.
