    Evening all!

    Rising - love the panda pics, glad you got to see them.

    Quiet on here tonight, is everyone ok? Well to keep the roll of car related expenses going, I got the AA renewal quote today....£200 :eek: I can safetly say i WILL NOT be paying that - they can either reduce it, or I'm off to a well known competitor. Did look at some alternatives such as Autoaid where you pay upfront and reclaim but reading the small print you are limited with call out charge time, claim limit for certain things etc. Overall I don't think I want to be worrying about that if I'm in a situation where I need to call breakdown in the first place. Any additional advise anyone? (please :D)

    Thankfully I've got until the end of April to sort it.

    Oh, nearly forgot - NSD #9 :j ended up going inline skating at lunchtime for the first time in about 17yrs :eek: thankfully I managed not to fall over and did about 5k. Actually really enjoyed it and it was lovely to be out in the sun doing something rather than just mooching round the shops.

    Also had a very frugal dinner, cooked up some veggie rice (bought prev for pennies with coupons) and stuffed some of the sweet peppers I bought yesterday from the market with that and goats cheese (which is getting a little 'ripe' atm :o) with some fish. i must say, peppers were delish! :T

    Have a good weekend everyone xx

    I had a Mr A delivery yesterday so no NSD for me but on the up side it means I should get one today as I am not going anywhere. This will be my first Saturday with no spending for months :o

    Good afternoon folks:j,

    I have been missing for a few days due to the joys of work and all the things that have to be completed by the end of March:eek:.
    Kerri, sorry to hear about the expense of the car and from previous personal experience, I feel your pain.

    Rising, well done on seeing the Pandas, as you got closer to them than I did when I was there in February and I wasn't impressed at the time:(. They look fantastic in the pictures though:).

    Muffin Man, I hope the abcess clears soon and you are pain free again.

    To everyone else, I hope you are all well and wish everyone a fantastic weekend.

    Red:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
