    Looks like you have to pay £1.99 for postage, but that kind of makes me feel a little secure in thinking it'll actually work! :rotfl: I think it'll just be like an employee discount card with how it works. Do you get money straight off your bill or is is cashback?

    I've tweeted it, text it to people who'll care and emailed it around work. People best be signing up!!

    Pain about the car though, Ruby :( Like your plans on re-using the time though! Ahhh, Christmas! :santa2:

    Just to note on the whole spider thing, I'm not overly bothered by them normally, but that might have something to do with the curly haired tarantula I worked with on the farm, that thing freaked me the hell out. I had no problem with the snakes, the skunk or even the giant centepides, but the spider. Urgh.

    Also new record on the bike, 47 seconds off of it.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Thanks for signing, cinny! Have sent the link to those who PM'd or asked for a PM - massive thank you for that :D

    Found out today that we need 8000 (!) signatures to put the Council in a difficult situation. Don't think we'll get that many by any shot by everything helps. Had a productive meeting with the PR company used by one of the patrons and they're going all out to get press coverage to raise awareness so fingers crossed. Still in the office at the mo so only had chance for a quick skim so far... will catch up on today's posts later!

    I heard on the radio this morning how to rid the house of spiders, thought of you lot. Apparently they hate the smell of conkers, so go round some up this weekend, and hide them around the house (under sofas, beds, behind the telly and sink etc).

    There are now piles of conkers all over my office floor :D fingers crossed! I saw two more spiders since this morning's beast so went foraging at lunchtime. The last one only had 7 legs _pale_
