OMG, someone else who's heard of Hybrid! I discovered them after getting obsessed with a bit of music the BBC is very fond of using on Top Gear and Masterchef, they're fab.

The Forest is lovely, my Dad's family is from there, but be prepared for all sorts of jokes if you move - I used to work for HMV in the store-facing IT support team and every store in the chain got a visit from one of us once a year to sort out any small niggles with the kit that they'd never got round to phoning up about. I generally got Gloucester and Cheltenham because I could stay with my Mum and the company didn't have to pay for a hotel. First visit to Gloucester and every third joke in the stock room was an Essex/blonde one adapted for Forresters. Mid-afternoon someone came upstairs and said 'Are you Caroline? There's a Mrs Wynne for you downstairs.' I gave them all a big grin and said 'That's my aunt. I'm half Forrester' and left to a stunned silence! (I don't have the accent, my Dad won a full scholarship to public school aged 6 and had it bullied/teased out of him )

Thats ace. Hybrid are a great band. Dead anthemic, if thats a word!! Yeah foresters do get a bad rap. Butt of everyone's quips. Tbh I can't see us ripping kids out of schools but you never know and being mortgage free would be blissful.

EE..I have just used it for a free delivery on Monday when I realised. We will use it but not a good move on my part

So..early night for me as early start tomorrow but..
- had to pay £44 extra for house insurance as now have a lodger but worth it to be legit
- gazed over my spreadsheets again and again but debt didn't improve any:rotfl:
- several ebay sales including a BIN request which we grabbed. So about £50 worth from that. Not to be sniffed at and a pile to be listed over next week.
- out with girls tomorrow eve..will be yummy dinner and lots of wine.:D
- made dinner and pudding from allotment and freezer:T
- got a credit card which I will use just for work expenses..which will make reconciling easier. It also gives me hotel stay points so I am planning to make those stays ( I already have enough for 2) my Xmas present to OH and me. Time together is so precious that I think it's what we both would like most of all
- mileage and expenses up to date...gobsmacking and never achieved before!!
- adamant would not lose the £25 trose voucher so have pre- done an order for about 2 weeks time when I will definitely need some groceries.

Think that's it.

Laters folks, have a great eve

:hello:Hi all

Just grabbing 5 minutes before I brave the traffic.

All going well really but can't shake off a sense of unease re work..maybe need to PM Mrs T and ask her how she and Mr T coped! I am tired so may not be thinking straight but my sense on this stuff is rarely wrong..well not completely

Hoping to push down the debt some more next week..would be nice to get under £8k..:T we shall see. Planning for a frugal weekend..these days aren't they all:rotfl:

Have a good day folks...I for one can't wait for the weekend!
