    Good to see everyone else being so productive :o

    Not much DFW stuff that I can do today as I get paid on Friday, but I am having a NSD, have checked the online banking and am giving blood this afternoon. Ok, that's not strictly DFW, but it is worthwhile :rotfl:

    Afternoon all!
    Later today due to flipping work!

    Had a good surprise yesterday - phoned Student Finance people to nag about my application and they've done it and I've got the tuition and maintainence loans but also a non-paybackable grant for almost £3000! Yeah:j:j:j

    So last night I went through all of my finances for the next year whilst I retrain and its doable - not overly comfortably but should be ok. Its a bit of a relief really.

    I also pick up my new car today after work - exciting! Downsizing isn't such a bad thing!

    The rest of my list...
    • Brekkie at home
    • Free lunch with clients at work
    • Leftover HM curry for tea
    • Walk dog for free exercise
    • Phoned BMW to terminate the contract on the car I currently have - can do this as I've paid much more than half of the agreement - they didn't like it but its my legal right - so there!
    • Called car insurance people for a quote on transferring the insurance to the new car - was almost as much as a new year long policy with someone else! The cheek! Am now going to pay £25 cancellation fee instead.
    • Hoover upstairs
    • Have a NSD - apart from the £800 I have to give to the car dealer!
    • Check banks
    • Have a general tidy round

    I hadn't even thought of that! A free cup of instant coffee and a bag o' ready salted crisps were my 'reward' ;)
