    Now look, just because I waited up till 2.30am to buy the S&G hatbox online, and got a MSE person to buy me one in case the online order failed, then went out in a blizzard to collect them both and shipped the spare one to mumof4, doesn't mean I'm obsessed. :D

    Also, got my body butter at 1/3 off already - paid with points though :j

    Oh no, not at all *rolls eyes* :rotfl::rotfl:

    Re Excel. Library is one option, youtube is another and possibly an ILA funded course if you're in Scotland and not using, or intending to use, ILA for something else. There might be free courses depending on your circumstances too.

    EDIT if you don't have excel there is free software called count (open source software) that does pretty much the same thing.

    when I was in Boots last week The sanctuary stuff had an offer on (spend £10 get get a 'free' gift!) and I ended up doing a bit of a Mr Bean style dance because I didn't know what to choose! :rotfl:

    Now...why didn't I think of reading about it to learn how to use it? I must be really lazy!

    Well, my flights home are now booked for the last weekend in March (sorry CC!).

    OH did stay at home today, but said he's feeling a lot better. The pain has almost gone, he's just very groggy from the muscle relaxant. Am so glad he's improved. :)

    Angelic - I know how you feel. I only make minimum payments (sometimes a few quid more) to my Halifax CC (lower interest) so the balance barely changes! Soooo frustrating! But....at the end of May, I get my 'vacation' allowance so I'll use that to clear the balance of the Virgin card and then my usual, bigger, PAD's can go to the Halifax.

    It feels ages away. But, at the same time I am very aware of how quickly time is passing by. It's March already? How the hell did that happen?? lol

    Same reason I haven't started gardening yet maybe.
