    is it me or are you becoming a little Metrosexual

    Mhhh, well I like cooking, don't like to be covered in spots and occasionally consider the feelings of others. Other than that I'm fairly traditional as a chap ;) Yup - I did have an excuse. Can't believe it was a decade ago..
  • Hi Edinburgher-
    I think your resolutions are great, really well rounded and cover different aspects of your life. I bet you'll have a great 2010 as a result.

    I also think your 'man shopping' is an excellent idea that I may have to steal for using with my OH who gets far too grumpy when made to trudge round shops for too long.

    Goodluck with it all!

    Thanks Hayley - spread the word, this new style of shopping is a great idea :D

    Just won £136.52 on Bingo Britain! They seem to be tightening up their T&Cs, however, and I'm quite pessimistic as to my chances of actually being allowed to withdraw it.... :(

    You can withdraw over £50 so you are well in there. Well done! :D :T

    Unfortunately I can't. Withdrew £10 (rejected) before I knew of the new £50 minimum withdrawal and so it will be Tuesday night before I can withdraw anything. Will need to stop playing until then, as it seems any new tickets come off my winnings, not the bonus, meaning the bonus is effectively useless until then.

    Seems ludicrous that you're only allowed one withdrawal every 72 hours even if the request is rejected, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

    Back to work tomorrow - it has been a good holiday and I'm vaguely looking forward to the challenges of the new year ;)

    I am keen to return to the office with my eager beaver face on, as I felt a little depressed towards the end of 2009 and am worried that I did very little to hide it :o Luckily the first couple of days will consist of updating websites and e-mail and I should be able to have a meeting with my boss when I get back to see what's next.

    Today will consist of lazing around, going for a vigorous walk this afternoon and enjoying my GF's delicious Irish stew with Guinness for dinner.

    Hope everyone out there in MSE land has a good one :beer:

    Yup - just waiting for dinner and the Simpsons movie now :)

    Re. referral - by all means - although they don't specify whether I'll get anything. Worth a shot!
