    Hows life with yall ok I hope... Long suffering dog is ok now comes to see the boys in the morning. As my dog is a wimp we have to mark out of ten... For example. This morning was Wimp Factor 2 until Gifford blew at him when he then upgraded to Wimp Factor 8.... Poor old chap :p We have booked our holidays (hooray) very MS orf to Somerset wit' van £102 for 6 nights, me, him and the Long Suffering Dog!

    Work is busy busy :cool: Am orf to Bristol next week Tues/Wed to see my Ma who started there a few weeks ago. Going on the bike so fingers crossed for dry weather.

    As for the mortgage, as of today stands at £53166 (lets see if I can tidy that up a bit in the next day or two ;)) Willie fund now £960 on track now to pay that off next April/May hopefully...

    Have had massive bills recently, Landrover all back and running hooray. Willie taxed (£200) insured (£270 although having to pay that monthly grr :eek:) Mot'd this month and the bike last month Mot (£20), Insured (£76 fully comp its me age) Taxed (£50) for the year.... Makes me wonder why I bother with four wheels....
