    Nice one! :T
    It looks like it's my connection, Facebook's running slow as well. It'll be Amy on torrent sites again. I told her they strangle the bandwidth for that but she never listens. *rolls eyes*

    Thanks :j Just seen the new amount in bank and got a bit " uh oh " but done a rough budget on my own thread up until end on next month and it shows im doing really well and if i continue *not* spending and spending like i have been il easy manage to get debt free and afford my insurance thats due in June if my van gets through its mot ok next month. The gf knows i wont be going on holiday this year, so if i get debt free by June(19 on the 29th) then pay full years insurance at once again il be able to save just about all of my holiday pay i get (3 weeks trades holiday in July - Aug)

    Then when i go back my wages go up from £6.95 an hour to £9.01 an hour, an extra £300 a month at least, for the same work im doing now! And like last summer il be doing alot more hours since the weathers alot more bearable! Sorry im ranting a bit im just so happy now :j:j
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    Blimey where's today gone? I can't believe it's nearly 4 already. I went out for a coffee with my book group at 11, couldn't believe it when I got in the car afterwards and it was 2, no wonder I got hungry and had to have a sandwich! Then I went and booked the 16 theatre tickets we'd decided on, popped to asda, and now the day's gone. Oh well, at least I've enjoyed it.

    Bookie, even if they start repossession proceedings next week nothing will happen for ages, if ever. When my dad lost his job and couldn't pay mum's mortgage anymore she refused to pay saying it was up to him, the court proceedings took about a year and she's still there now, they just came to an arrangement of what she could pay. So don't lose all hope, especially since you now have a job.

    Right, off to read the other 8 pages of chat now...

    BB, lovely fox, there's a few round here. I remember coming back from my sister's late one night and there was one in the road. It gave me the most insolent look before sauntering to the side of the road and watching me drive past, he obviously thought he owned the road and was deigning to let me pass on his property!

    I've currently got a Citroen C3, which I have to change in August and can order a new one anytime from now. I can't decide whether to go for another small car with a fairly high spec, or go for something a bit bigger. I need to get my backside into gear and start looking for the offers in case one I fancy comes up.

    Well done Suzy on the weight loss, and Pap on the running!

    I forgot to say, my DC dress came today, great service.

    And I've had a letter saying I qualify for disabled students allowance and I'll be hearing from the assessors in the next 14 days, yay!
