    Hi Hypno - had a great day at work (my boss was away!) STILL waiting for the DVLA refund though - think I'm going to end up going to the ombudsman which is really annoying as they have admitted its their mistake.

    OH is flying back tonight - I wouldn't let him spend all his food allowance so we should be about $200 in profit - made him eat McDonalds the whole time he was away! Tee Hee.

    Any property !!!!!!?

    Sorry - sorry - didn;t get back on Compooter yesterday (had a rehearsal for concert).

    JV show was talking about Mac v PC and I'd emailed in and they rang me and asked me if I would go on air !!:eek: so I did !!! :rotfl::rotfl: twas about 50 minutes in to the programme :rotfl:. Didn;t think anyone would recognise me but bizarrely when i then got home my sisters sister-in-law had left a message on facebook that she'd heard me (she lives in Bath - sister lives in USA) and also my nephew who is 17 had as well !!!

    Anyway nothing to report today - hope you all have a good day - last day of term today so am off next week

    Those instructions are in Chinese, aren't they, not Gaelic? And a *dead* pirate, good grief Shaun! Mind you, its Halloween next week :D

    I watched Phil and Kirsty too - both the blokes were complete nutters, weren't they? I liked the camels tho. And I love the banter........

    Banking is all done, money moved around, bills paid, and we seem to be nicely positioned for my new method of "housekeeping" with weekly pay.....

    £15 has been paid to the 0% card - not a lot, but my problem in October was that I was a bit too keen to pay money to the 0% card, which then left the current account dangerously short towards the end of the month, which was stupid really because it could have been avoided.

    So the £15 is a token payment to say I'm still on it's case! Any "extra" MSE money will go there too, because I am determined not to rely on the extras to survive any more.....but I should not be in such a hurry to transfer what I think is surplus from the every day money :o It is highlighting what a difference having the student money made to us, but I have no regrets whatsoever in cutting that out this year, so it is a trade off I just have to incorporate properly!

    Anyway - it all looks ok for now, so I am pleased with that and, again, it is a far cry from paydays gone by!

    That sounds good - your quality of life must have improved dramatically without having the student, I'm glad you don't regret waving that goodbye.
