Hope its nothing much but at least its under warranty and I have breakdown cover.

    • Go to work for 10 hour shift
    • checked online banking - energy supplier have given refund for electric that I wasnt expecting.
    • Made extra payment to credit card with above money before I get excited - I love watching that bill come down !
    • DD doing food shop with list I prepared
    • meals from plan
    • prepare for interview - havent had chance yet and ony ten days to go :eek:
    • heating off
    • comps if i get time - seriously neglected these lately
    • surveys if any.
    So pleased to see the sun shining even if it is cold. Hooray for spring :j
    When it rains look for Rainbows
    When its Dark look for Stars
