    Claire~Why dont you use 1/2 of money in your tin to pay off something from your CC or catalogue?
    Better than sitting in tin doing nothing.

    Good advice - you could always use the card again in an emergency

    Snags, thats EXACTLY what I think of Ridley Scott. Fave scenes by him include the opening sequence to Blade Runner with music by Vangelis, and the first fight in Rome. He just propels the narrative with his work.... And Finnish is based on the Finno-Ugric base (i think) whereas the common base for most others is the Germanic, which is why you can get along in most languages.
    ZTD - you want ot see other words, they knock letters of and join them together, so uuskymmentekuusi is something like 12.
    claire - i agree, you could move some money from the tin to pay off a bit of a CC or catalogue. It's what I've done, I'm not spending as much so I made a second payment on my CC today.
    Shopping bill today was £64, but that's including £10 for beer, £4 for a tee and a couple of quid for earrings, not always bought so thats £15-16 extras. Usually the food bill for two of us is £40-45.
