Yorkie Lad you have done so well with the debt busting....

*goes to write her crimbo card list*

thank you very much:D:money:.

i recently have just got a new job which is bringing in an extra £120 a month and im also saving about £50 a month which usually went on parking, and my hsbc loan will be paid off in november (£80 a month), so im hoping to chuck this extra 200 at my credit card.

over the past few months, things have really picked up, getting new job etc so im actually starting to enjoy my life again:D.

nope:rotfl:

I didnt go to download, we tried sonisphere festival at knebworth.
i actually preferred it to download tbh, the stages were set out much better,its not as big as download but it was only its second year, so still in its infancy.

rammstein and iron maiden were fantastic.
i have never been a fan of gary numan or alice cooper but after seeing them live, they have pulled me in:T:D.

how about you?

oh and i got burnt to a crisp:(, i was sooo sore for days.

good luck for the run!! hope youve been training hard.

Well I had 3 weeks off because I had food poisoning but did 14k on Wednesday and doing a 16k tomorrow morning :T

Download was excellent, AC DC were fab, RATM were my favourite, wasn't impressed with Them Crooked Vultures (apart from Dave Grohl :drool:) too many look at me solos and not enough songs.

oo food poisoning is one of the worst things ever:(.

wow, you are doing well:T.
i dont think i could do one, nevermind two within the same week.
i am looking forward to my lay-in in the morning tho:j.

i have been a long time fan of ac/dc, but i couldnt afford to go to both, would have love to have seen em:(.

i have heard a few songs by Them crooked vultures, and it just seems abit boring tbh, though i have never been a fan of Dave Grohl or Josh Homme. But JPJ, and led zep:D.

Which restaurants did you book then? I'm all excited for you :j

We have booked Hucks, Forresters Inn and an Indian. We are having a takeaway the other night!

My daughter doesn't like Italian so she didn't book at Bella Italia and Elveden doesn't have the Lakeside Inn, so I am hoping that the Forresters is similar to it.

The other big surprise for me was Billy Idol, I expected a bit of a cheesefest but when he came on it was torrential rain and he refused to stay on stage, instead he was in front of the first row of fans p!ss wet through, he went through about half a dozen microphones because they kept shorting out in the rain. His set was fantastic, he put everything into it and was basically showing everyone that yeah it's p!ssing it down but we're going to have a great time anyway, he had the whole crowd with him!

thats what the fans love, even if people werent a fan of him, the fact that he still stuck the rain out to perform his set shows his dedication! ive known bands in the past to leave the stage at the slightest hint of rain.

one of my family members went to download for the weekend and they said they got absolutely pi$$ wet through on the sunday lol.
we had the exact opposite at sonisphere, we couldnt get out of the sun!:rotfl:

It was gorgeous hot weather all Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday until Motorhead and Billy Idol came on when it was torrential. then it came nice again for Aerosmith.
The entire site became an utter quagmire in about an hour, I was up on the disabled viewing platform watching everyone slipping and sliding about. Getting out of the site up the hill back to the camp sites was interesting!
