That's it for March! I have so far this year managed to not touch most of my savings accounts apart from my ISA and I used that to pay off my netbook and the Neil Diamond tickets I bought! :eek:
I have increased my fuel to £100 as I was close to that last month :eek: I will also be filling the car right up as it is easier for me to do it that way. Bizzarely I filled my car up yesterday and it took only £35 to do so!

My car has its 1st service on the 8th March so will no doubt have to take some money from other accounts then pay back at a later date!

March events
5th - Meeting a friend for dinner and drinks
6th - Visiting a friend from work and taking her out for lunch as she is off after having a major operation.
10th - Speedway Talk in
18th - Friend visiting for a couple of days (cinema trip and a night out planned)
25th - Speedway starts! :j:j
26th - Farewell meeting for a speedway rider in Berwick
27th - 1st Local speedway derby of the season! :eek:

As you can see I have a quiet month ahead!! :rotfl:

Oh and 1st NSD of March today!! Off to early Years Conference tomorrow instead of being at work, Will be nice to get out of the Nursery for a change!

No Beanie it's in Edinburgh, it's run by Edinburgh Council each year. I went 4/5 years ago and really enjoyed it so hoping its going to be as good.

My friend is a childminder & I remember her getting an invitation.

Don't run and hide DBG - there are alot of people who do not know what speedway is.
The best I can offer as to an explanation is HERE HERE and HERE These 3 races are 3 of the best I have had the privillage of witnessing live. The 1st was in Poland in 2007, the 2nd Cardiff 2007 and 3rd was in Poland in 2010.
The bikes are 500cc with no brakes and go from a clutch start from 0 to60mph in about 3 seconds!!:eek: Or as I like to put it mad men on bikes without brakes!!
EH will hopefully back me up
I love my speedway and only 21 sleeps until the start of the season :j:j

Why do they have 'things' on there back wheel? Is it to funnal the dirt from the track away from thier wheel? Or something else? Also has thier been any really bad crashes? I am guessing there have been crashes...

The "thing" on the back wheel is a dirt deflector, its to help the dirt from spraying the other riders and from going into the crowd - It helps a bit!!

Pap you want crashes!!
HERE or the biggie from British speedway last year HERE Believe it or not the guy who crashed in that 1 got up and won the remainder of his races that night.
