You can change pins at the cashpoint Birdie - just request it again, take the bit of paper with you and change it straight away

I keep meaning to do that but I think they're getting suspicious every time I go in there because I've asked for so many pin numbers now as we've got 3 accounts and a CC at the same bank and I'm totally useless at remembering them! I actually have no idea what the CC pin is so I couldn't spend on it if I wanted to! i think I need one universal pin number tattooed onto my wrist!

I tried the 'One for all!' saver but it just confused me! 1 saver per thing is good for me, although I do try and club things together so I don't go mental and have an account for EVERYTHING. As tempting as it is..

Birdie - I can remember post codes, order numbers and client addresses at the drop of a hat but ask me a PIN number and my mind goes blank! I remember when I went about 3 weeks just spending cash and not using my electron. When I came to use it again I had to ask my OH what the PIN was I still struggle at cash points, really have to think before I punch the numbers in!

Still no parcel *sniffs* I even pretended to go to the bathroom as that's when they normally show up. But noooo!

I always have a panic before typing in the number and I convince myself that I've forgotten it! If I don't think about it I don't have a problem though... I'm a bit odd!

You can't just pretend to go to the bathroom, they know that you're faking it! Make something hot for lunch that'll be ruined if left to go cold, then it'll turn up!

I'm fine at remembering pin numbers, bank account numbers, online logins etc etc, but if you ask me my mobile number I'm stumped!

I agree, you can't just pretend - go out for a walk or something

That's me (hopefully) makeup happy for a while now *rolly eyes*

Tete - I don't even know my mobile number! OH says I'm useless

I did a post on my blog too if you're interested! Although I look a bit gormy

Went to Asda with my Mum last night so today my packup is basically fruit. Apple, Banana, Grapes and Strawberries (90p!) Also got my hands on a box of Special K Oats and Honey. My Mum paid for it all too, as everyone's going to eat it anyways! But I offered, and that's what counts.

Got my wage slip today. I get a wage slip every 4 weeks, and have to take my last 3 payday wages off that. If that makes sense. I'm left with £190 this week, which is about £10 more than what I thought I'd get from working it out myself. But I won't complain!

My second to last day of full time I really enjoy working full time I don't wanna go back to half days *wails*

Have my practical books with me today. I have a mental wall up atm for my driving test, need to get it into my head it's in a month and start (trying to) look forward to it.

I'll swap you Cinny, you can come and do my full days I'm sick of them, only another 37 years til I can retire

Good luck with 'looking forward' to your test!! I'm sure you'll do fine though, you've been on the roads a while on your Vespa haven't you, so you probably won't be as nervous as I was. Bet you can't wait to take Greg all over the place! Poor Bluey's been making so much noise, I had to turn the radio up and sing really loudly along to Whitney this morning, but then I didn't hear a police car behind me and they almost took my wing mirror off squeezing past!

I'm sure once I'm properly on full time I'll be singing a different tune!

I'm okay on most stuff with the driving, my Driver-man wants me to pull my test forward as he thinks I'm ready now but I'm the one putting it off. I suck at parking in carparks! When he first made me reverse into a bay I tried to argue how I'd only be parking in car parks if I can find 2 spaces back to back and drive through it, so I didn't really need to learn reverse parking. I think he thought I was joking. That's the only thing I'm stuggling with, I'm such a short-bum I can't actually see out the windows properly. Even with the seat budged right up Mastered turn in the road and parallel parking last week though!

Woops about the Police man! I feel sorry for Bluey, he seems to be getting slowly worse by your diary!! Any possible new cars yet?
