    My neighbours gardens are looking lovely, although some little scrotes keep coming round and pulling up the flowers, my neighbour's gutted, she confronted them and they just said it was fun and they weren't going to stop.

    My garden's not growing yet cos birds pecked up the bulbs and seeds, grr.

    I've just read that Peter Steele's died, rip. (I know none of you will have a clue who he is, he's a metal singer).

    Are you sure thats allowed under the Rules? After the conditions that were put on last nights audience, you could be facing a Prison Term:eek::rotfl:

    I could face a prison term if I get it wrong at the polling station :(

    My MP :mad: has decided that at 74 AND having been deselected by his party, he will go up against the candidate chosen by the party. !!!!!!. Wasn't it enough that he fiddled his gardening expenses and tried to claim for a £5 church donation? Hope he loses his deposit - infact hope nobody votes for him at all, apart from himself!

    Hello all :D

    well I've had a huge surprise!

    REmember the other day I said I have decided to treat myself to the Desire after years on PAYG on t-mobile? I was beating myself up over treating myself?

    Ordered online and paid £164 for the phone by CC and onto the £10 p/m contract (100 minutes, unlimited internet/texts).

    Phone comes tomorrow (been out of stock as really popular because it's new) but had a text to say my bill this month would be -£157 (ie a stonking great credit!!) Called as this looked weird and she said that after paying for my phone by CC, they had (for some unknown reason) decided to give me the phone for free and have refunded the price of it so I have a huge credit on my account to carry forward each month! I logged onto my online a/c and there it is!

    Aaah, he sounds old and confused. Perhaps they should stick him in the House of Lords or make him a Director of a Bank.
