    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    My son has little balance and I was worried that this would be the last bike he could have as it is the largest stabilisers fit. I will now check if a local bike shop can order some when he outgrows it. Thanks:T

    This is the first bike shop that is willing to help, the rest have told me to go to the disability shop. :mad: He told me tho that the stabilisers are about £90 but it's alot cheaper than the disability shop. :D

    Dw just finished so i'll reload and then sort some washing.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Instead of writing my spring cleaning list I have started it.
    My back door (on the outside ) looked liked something from the "Shameless" set!! :o not now- Mrs Bucket would be proud of it.

    Have taken down the curtains in the kitchen and put them through 2 washes - they didn't look clean after one. They are dry clean only, but I only paid £3 a pair from Dunelm so it would cost me more than that to have them dry cleaned.If they do get wrecked I can turn them into seat covers for the dining room chairs. Fingers crossed they'll be OK.

    I've had a really enjoyable morning flying, after a week away and the knowledge all you folks are working away too has helped.

    Ohh a tip for all your spending diaries, your mobile should have a notes function on it - If not write it in a text and save it. Add to it throughout the day when you spend and then you won't have lost any receipts/amounts. I also use the diary/ calendar function on MSN to keep mine on instead of a notebook , but I appreciate some people might like to use actual hard copies of things. Good luck, but I warn you it becomes addictive and you may all start to squeak as you walk as you become so tight :rotfl:(reluctant to spend money as it will ruin your no spend day)

    Love 'n' Rainbows

    I've managed to put my old-style driving license through a 60o wash and all I'm left with is 3 pieces of greenish sellotape.

    I've phoned DVLA who say I can't have a OS license, I must have a photo card license... Why, they last ten years and you have to pay to renew. My old one didn't run out until I'm 70, a while off as I'm only 52.
