I thought we were going to have a NE meet

Best to wait until the snow goes away. To Southerners this would be the deepest darkest reaches of the Yukon...

Well, 2 church services have finished Christmas for me which seems ironic. Al full of new beginnings, new starts, hope, optimism etc. No wonder loads of suicides happen tomorrow - it's all the folks like me wondering what planet the others are on. :rotfl:

You can take optimism and pessimism two ways.

For example "This is the best of all possible worlds":

• The optimist hopes it's true...
• The pessimist fears it's true...

Was about to suggest a NE meet then thought I'd check your location on FB but... we're no longer friends I put on my stalker hat and couldn't find you

Good luck Katsu!

Pap, it's not just me having this problem, it seems to depend who your bank is. Paypal are saying it's the banks fault, banks are saying it's paypal's fault. Apparantly, it's because paypal process mastercard payments in Luxembourg, so some banks see it as a foreign transaction and charge for it. I think I'll end up just transferring lump sums to my paypal account every now and then, £1.50 each time when nearly all of my purchases are less than a fiver means it's just too expensive.

Although at least I found out about the charge now - I was going to pay for meals and things in Venice with my card, thinking it'd be cheaper than withdrawing cash from machines there, but now I know better.

Just realised Liverpool's a lot closer than I thought, it's only 74 miles, so the petrol wont be too bad. and I can set off a lot later than if I was going by bus.
