    No time! Have to multi-task! Quickie for you LA!

    Recipe/exercise combo
    1. Extract ice-cube maker from back of freezer compartment. Give a cursory wipe over with cloth.
    2. Fill ice-cube maker with water (tap will do for DFW-stylee cheapness).
    3. C-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y place now full ice-cube maker in freezer compartment and shut door.
    4. Allow to cook for eight hours.
    5. Apply ice-cubes to glass.
    6. Apply gin to ice-cubes in glass.
    7. Apply tonic to gin to ice-cubes in glass.
    8. Apply slice of lemon to tonic to gin to ice-cubes in glass.
    9. Add dash of gin.
    10. Apply straw to combination.
    11. Take glass to rebounder sipping delicately.
    12. Get on rebounder and bounce (while wearing wheelies for extra speed) delicately trying not to spill contents of glass.
    13. Repeat stops 11. and 12. untill a) glass empty or b) LA falls off rebounder.
    Feeling better?

    Gooooooooood.

    Minnie returns with her words of wisdom once more - how we've missed them! :D

    pania - yep could be up for some sort of challenge...not sure what though. Anything in mind? Do tell - I am all ears!

    lunar - very glad you liked the curry! It's a favourite in our house too.

    Wok Boy - you been fed yet? :D

    LJ - sorry sorry sorry - were you disappointed when you saw it was a trampoline!?

    And as for you Zed.....I'm not talking to you - you twist my words too much! Heaven knows what trouble I will be in next.

    taxi - sounds like a good idea getting the trampoline out...but be careful cos of your tummy won't you?

    When I get mine, if you have yours unpacked, we'll have to compare notes!
    :D

    Overdraft: Currently £6.01cr! ~ Egg BT Card [strike]£875.50[/strike] £775.50
    now does this mean you have £775.50 on your egg card but still have an o/d... have you reduced your avalible o/d at all :confused:

    Hi PAP! You're right - I should change the wording (and willd o shortly) as it's a bit misleading.

    My overdraft used to around £800 - £900 all the time and I couldn't seem to make headway. So I BT'd it to an Egg card and that's the balance you can see coming down.

    The 'Overdraft' figure should actually say something like Bank Balance and then I can state whether it is in credit or overdrawn.

    So I did clear my overdraft - with a balance transfer.

    The balance transfer is now coming down.

    Bank Balance is in credit (just!) but will be overdrawn *again* (tut!) by the end of the month but I had a big cheque clear today that was a one off so after October pay day it should hopefully be more healthy.

    OK hpe that all makes sense!
