    Excellent post :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: though sorry you *still* didn't sleep well :(

    In lieu of the ISS (or as well as, really) touchy-feely Universe tourism is a good thing :j

    :beer:Mini adventure completed :j, but Mr GG's mega adventure will last another 10 days :(, still, will be worth it in the end :T.

    Off to that London place tomorrow but need to take laptop which I hate carrying :(. I won't take power lead so when it runs out I'll come home :rotfl:.

    A week to payday but bank account thinks it's due Friday :eek:. Will be dipping into the 20k savings for a few days :o.

    Tenant paying rent money tomorrow as long as I drop off bank details in the morning as she's lost them. Can't call her a dozy mare as I've managed to mix up her new phone number with Mr GG's new number :rotfl:. That could have been fun :D. The house account is a bit depleted as I had to top up Spanish account so will only break into teens if I don't put money away for tax & repairs etc. this month. Desperate to see balance begin with a '1' so will catch up in December - seems I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul all round at the moment :o.

    Going to open a Clydesdale Bank account tomorrow - they're paying £150 if you transfer another account over and I have one about to run out of promo period :T.

    Welcome back from your mini adventure

    This vicarious living lark has a lot to recommend it. Whenever I feel the need for a shopping spree, I just watch my friend shop.

    Then, 2 years later, she gives me the stuff, unworn, to sell on eBsy

    It's a win win situation for me:)

    Clydesdale will have to wait till tomorrow. Not feeling good which actually produced an unrequested visit from DS :eek: :D. For 2 weeks I've felt I'm coming down with something - today 2 people told me I looked rough - which was nice :rotfl:.

    Rent in.

    Mr GG, DD and 2 of my friends are all off adventuring (not together :o) (I hope :eek:) and I am Billy No Mates this weekend so will tackle the c word :o. Also got a lot of edig surveys to do, including a £10 I forgot about :eek: but the nice lady reallocated to me :).

    £25 PC claimed, into paypal in a few days :T.

    And so to bed with a dose of Night Nurse :beer:.
