    Well, I've shaved and got a nice dress on, taxi's booked for 7, and hopefully the toothpaste taste will have gone by the time I get there, champagne and toothpaste wont be nice I imagine!

    LMC, the car is fab, it's got all kinds of electric gizmo's to make driving it easier, even the seat adjustment is electric. I'm really shocked that it was available at no cost, it's retail price is about two and a half times that of the small cars whichch is all you usually get. I'll just have to put post it notes all over it telling me to put diesel in instead of petrol!

    That's not too bad SRM, they're usually about £50 a month for that kind of deal aren't they?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    That happened to us this morning. DH's card expired end of June. Luckily he had his new one in his wallet :cool:

    Hello everyone, mum and dad have sat down and talked, the upshot is they are going to remain civil to each other and they are in agreement that they are going to continue to finish off the mortgage together and then sign the house over to me and my brother. My dad is going to stay at the house and he is going to help her get on her feet at another place. He isn't bothered that she has had an affair and they both decided that they were too old and tired to fight each other and they both a fell like they have drifted apart. In all I'm both shocked and gob smacked.
