    I went into a bank in the last 4 weeks to enquire about opening an account. I was told that I needed to be aged 18 or over to open an account. He then asked me what age I was and when I said I was 30 his face went bright red. My face was bright red too because everyone in the queue was looking at me. :o

    SS well done on getting rid of soooo much debt!!

    spud30, I just noticed your signature. How did you manage to lose that much weight in such a short period of time, you must have a magic potion?

    Well done!! :T

    Needless to say, I didn't go into labour in Halfords, (thankfully) so he didn't get a free socket set and emergency roadside triangle.....:rolleyes:

    I went into Labour in London Zoo (giraffe house to be precise). Unfortunately I forgot to ask what special gifts I was entitled to.
