    I can't be bothered sending the bra back, it was only £3, so it'll do for when I'm just in the house or popping out to the shops when I'm keeping my coat on! Although at the German Market earlier a bloke did try talking to me, although I'm sure he just wanted to sell me something.

    Sod it, I'm going to email my tutor and say that I'm not going to get the essay done and it'll have to be substituted, that's what the system's there for. Typical of my luck, getting an extension and then being ill during that week too! I'll ask her if I can maybe try and catch up with it slowly and submit it later, although I don't think that's allowed.

    And I've just had an email to say my free coat from evans (ordering glitch) has been cancelled cos they're out of stock. I'm not surprised, but I am annoyed that people on the freebies board were ordering 40 each, they've ruined it for the rest of us.

    Hello peeps!
    ...Linda xx
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Well, I'm sure you mentioned that you had been to a few showrooms looking at trading in the old banger for a new one under the Scrappage Scheme:D ( car, not OH:rotfl:)....of course, now your cars been damaged, you wont be able to....
    then theres the extra heating costs cos you hurt yourself
    and the telephone calls
    and the fact that you cannot enjoy walking Charlie cos its so uncomfortable
    and its made you a very nervous driver now:p
    then theres £50 to read each letter, fill in each form etc etc etc
    the list goes on....

    Just doing DS's claim now....which will include my loss of a day off, his housekeeping for a month, his driving lessoms as now he is soooo worried about getting back on a motorbike he will have to take his car licence!!

    ok...........so this is when the solicitors contact me? (apparently they will be) Not part of the 'normal' insurance payout for the car? Or is it all in the same claim?

    giggle.......nervous driver? Moi? Never.........:rotfl::rolleyes::p

    Hi all...
    Home from a very busy but very unproductive day! Although I did get a call from HSBC at work "not urgent", but clearly to tell me off for being over my overdraft limit. They'll say "we need to talk about your borrowng needs", I'll say "yep we do". I'll apply to extend it while we get ourselves sorted, they'll say no and the call was pointless. Except they can carry on charging me £150 a month. Oh to be a banker...

    On the plus sides though, my sister is coming over tonight to discuss my hen do - woo!!
