    £1650, so a lot less than he was asking for, about 60%. So we're pleased enough to be honest as while its no small chunk of change, it's not the end of the world and could have been a lot worse.

    Happy new thread Dinah and Nim! Will be cheering you on all the way :T

    Hey everyone else :D

    No time to catch up yet - excited to have started new placement in London, but less enamoured of the 4-hour travelling time. I'll get used to it - or not. Either way it will all be fine :cool:

    Will post once I've found out what you've all been up to! Hope you're all well x

    Good to hear that you don't have to pay the full amount, at least its all over now and you can put the idiot and his pathetic lawyer bimbo behind you.

    Feeling quite frustrated at the minute, really want to crack on with making my Christmas presents so I'm actually organised this year and can spend December being all smug and relaxed but I can't afford to buy anything until next Thursday, which is annoying as it would have been nice to have some projects to keep me entertained all weekend since we're skint!

    Oooh Tete, you're a clever sewing lady. I've got a cashmere jumper that OH kindly threw in the regular wash so it shrunk but I can't get rid of it because it's so nice and soft. I want to make 3 or 4 wheat bags out of the body and arms, but how do I sew it since it's like sewing wool?
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    We're out tonight at mum and dads so a slightly shortened list. Not that I ever quite get through it, but I'll make a good stab at it today (i.e. nag NIM harder to call up about the life insurance and to make us a graph and chart!).

    Also, amazingly, my maid of honour I haven't seen since my wedding has asked if I'm free Saturday. I think she's after some wedding planning advice given she's barely even replied to emails and cancelled when we're due to meet up for the last 12 months. So that's possibly part of my Saturday taken up, but it would be nice to see her again.
