    I think I'd be tempted to go for the car, as long as it seems fairly sound when Mr F's stepdad looks at it. As someone said, even if it only lasts a little while you can get a refund on tax and insurance and you can always get a few quid for scrapping it (or go to webuyanycar.com - do you have that annoying ad up north??)

    You know you can't resist bobbing along to it... how do you think I feel, all the bloody teenagers at my school are obsessed with the bloody song, I have to hear it all day long. Still I guess it makes a change from 'simples'...

    My 6 year old said he hates the song but loves the dancing. He tries to copy the moves bless him! The downside is, it means i can't turn the tv over when it comes on, if he's about :D

    Money stuff

    PAD = £89.75
    Groceries = £164.08 (And it's been 10 days since payday! I've only picked up essentials so far!)
    Entertainment = £20.46 (We're out tomorrow night but Mr Fresian is paying!)

    I have just over 70,000 points in Toluna, so I am close to a voucher! If anyone wants to join just PM me your email address as I get 500 points for each referral :A

    I have vague plans of going to Aldi this weekend for more fresh fruit and veg, as te quality is pretty ok for what you pay for it. I need a couple of other bits too but hate the supermarket at the weekend :(

    Not a lot else to report really - long working week and I'm tired. Hurrah for weekends though :j

    Hurrah indeed - has been the week from hell here and, dull though it is, I'm going for a much needed early night in just a moment. :eek:
