    It is shocking but I'm not surprised, NF told me last week that her 17 year old who has just joined Marines was quoted £7000 by their current insurer to be added on to NFs policy, on an 1100 Fiesta :eek:. Did get an online quote for £2000, but even so....

    *shuffles wearily in and flops on sofa*
    hi everyone :hello:

    nothing to report here, except that my car broke down earlier :( I thought at first it was the alternator :eek: but turned out to be the main fuse thingy in the boot was unplugged - can only assume that DH knocked it when he transported the wardrobe a couple of weeks back, and it just worked loose. Luckily R*C man was really good, and kept looking for the problem, even when the car seemed to start up ok again. Ugh.. got thoroughly cold though, and only just warming up. So that's a couple of hours lost from my day, but v luckily no new alternator required!!

    On the plus side, my veggie seeds & pototoes have arrived :T:T

    Am wondering how shysarah's day went..

    Flying.. um.. WM x 1, TD x 1, and the dailies and that's it :o:o

    hope everyone is ok? Am planning a very early night tonight. If my light is still green after 9.30pm tell me to go to bed!! :p

    oooo and I keep meaning to say hello :wave: to all the newbies!!

    Hey Ladies..

    Am here, sorry got in from work and collapsed was so tired after a night of no sleep I have only just woken up!!

    I am annoyed at myself for sleeping so long but anyway.

    Work went fine, everyone was really nice and although I only did a few hours it was fine and all the technical knowledge came flooding back.

    Anyway must eat something now as I am really hungry.

    Big Hugs, Love and Spoons

    Sorry valli and AnWMum~~ 4 bids and 27 watchers!! 15 items sold since last Saturday listing!! :j:j:j

    20 bids, 37 watchers, 14 will sell out of 21 items; a Very Very Strange thing happened as people made bids after one hour on 3 of the items. Which is not something I'm used to at all.

    Will be away for weekend near to Norfolk:will have netbook with me but it has a slightly deaf dongle i.e. it can't find mobile networks very easily (roll eyes smiley here) so it's a pain in the bum to use. I fancy a trip to the seaside out of season:D
