    Dear God! If anyone ever thought to market the adhesive qualities of bird cack, they'd make a fortune! It's shifting, slowly but surely. Might take a few days at this rate though. *rolls eyes* Plus the car's going to need washing properly all over once I'm done. It could do with T-Cutting and waxing as well. That might have to wait until Mon though as the weather's due to get worse from here on in until the weekend's over. :mad:

    You know those little bottles of hygienic hand wash you can get....that gets bird poo of your car!:T

    Elfen - are you and Pint splitting up (sorry being nosey but its out of concern) or are you just getting your own place

    We have split up...I don't love him anymore and I can't lie to him as it would hurt me as well as him. I move on Saturday.

    Now, is £68 (A YEAR) an acceptable contents insurance rate - considering I don't own much in the way of expensive things?

    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    That sounds reasonable to me Elfen, I was paying more than that as a student in a shared house, and my cheapest quote for my one bed flat came in at around £120. Just don't forget about cashback!

    I did it through Quidco! £70 for my insurance for a year (Gods thank you Endsleigh for being so damn cheap) and I get £20 cashback :)

    Yay Elfen, not bad at all.

    Right, I'm off to my drum lesson, then I'm shouting sister a meal at Toby Carvery afterwards (I'm softening her up so that I can buy some of her drum equipment cheap when she goes off to the Caribbean).
