    Hooray for getting to the bus stop 30 seconds before the bus despite not knowing what time they go and there only being 1 every 30 mins.

    Hi everyone.
    Primary Care Trust told me to take the sofa outside and get some sun on Saturday, wasn't out long but have burnt horrifically despite factor 30 suncream and have really bad sunstroke. Didn't eat anything yesterday, just kept throwing up, and have a horrid migraine.

    Have found a gorgeous place in Sevilla, found it this morning. It's buy to let, and right in the middle of Seville. Have enquired, so hopefully I'll hear back and it will be ours. I hope!

    NLID - Great news about the car, and Even, I'm reallysorry about Ebay. Can you appeal?
    Signature down for maintenance :rotfl:

    Hooray for selling a car!

    guy turned up with cash!

    took it for a spin down the local motorway (about a 3-4 mile round trip) said all is well - inspected paperwork and has driven it away!

    Think I owe my best mate a couple of pints out of the profit.

    Hooray for British Gas! (I never thought I would say that...)

    A+++ Customer Service from British Gas (I never thought I would say that...)

    Basically I have just negotiated a cheaper rate of power than I could find elsewhere, with my last quarters bill spread out over the next 12 months (just shy of £400 for both gas and electric - although some of that is business expense) meaning that my monthly direct debit (which hadnt been collected in the last 3 months for some reason unknown to me) doesnt go up at all.

    Effectively giving me 3 months gas and electric FOC due to there cockup...
