    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    SW- good luck with finishing the corset wish I could make things I can hardly sew on a button :rotfl:

    I'm very happy- phoned RBS after seeing a leaflet about them beating your home insurance renewal quote by at least £25. I've checked everywhere and my existing provider was still cheapest.

    So I phoned RBS and asked them about it, they have beaten the price by £26 because I bank with them I'm delighted :T

    Hi all

    Hope you've had a good day! Well - I'm now trying to teach myself to knit, I didn't realise it was so complicated! That's the night ruined now - will spend the whole time learning how to cast on I think! At least itmeans I can't spend...!

    Have a great evening everyone!
