    Next week we have Puss in Boots on Monday morning (for free - Free Films for Schools week - yey!), then shopping, then a friend coming over on Tuesday who I've not seen for months, then the rest of the week will be dedicated to reregistering as self employed, seeing if I can find a half decent remortgage deal, and a major money catch up as I've not done anything these past 2 weeks while I've been melting my brain with cog psych.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: it does look like a cheese grater doesn't it?! It's a block if wood - the black bits are just painted on :)

    Not bad for £25 :) 4 figure with it too - they're £20 on their own brand new!
