    Good evening Moozie - Hope you haven't put too much T in the G ! :beer:
    See you're packing the PC - hope you'll still be keeping tabs on us over the next few days, though. :rolleyes:
    Very best of luck with the cleaning - and the move, but I expect we'll see you before that. :j :j
    Cheers mozie,

    Hello :wave: sorry to be updating this thread so late, I didn't get a chance yesterday. Yay I came in under target. It will be a different story this week though as we have our work Christmas party so I will have to get a taxi home (OH won't let me use public transport after dark). So for this week I will set my target for £20 instead of my usual £5 :eek:
