    Rising - ooh another lefty!!! Well, I suppose I'm rather ambidextrous. I taught myself my own method of crocheting when I was a teenager, and when I tried to take it up again last year, I couldn't remember how I did it!! So I am trying to learn the righty's way now...struggling a bit, but managing to get a few small things made. Perhaps I'll eventually remember how I did it before...:o


    *waves* another lefty here too!
    Rant warning Have just been trying to switch to a better broadband deal and have discovered I'm one of the unfortunate 16.4% of households stuck in Market 1 ie B*T is the only supplier :(. Have just written a stinking letter to Of*com as they're doing nothing to open this area up to more competition - just 'cos you're in a rural area, why should you be penalised & have to pay more!:mad: rant over

    I sympathise Rising, we were in the same situation when we moved here, have waited 2yrs for exchange to be upgraded so we could get Sky bb. Up until then we used BE but router kept dropping out and after inital offer it was still £14 a month.

    Well today wasn't a NSD - picked up a few bits in Tacto, pre-coupon total £7.11....post coupon total £1.38 :beer: Did order the silver earth for my niece though, along with a gift box (for £5 :eek:) it was nearly £55 :eek: but she'll only be 1 once and I wanted the box so she'd have something nice to keep it in - well at the end of the day if I was spending £50 the extra £5 for the box wasn't really worth worrying over :o

    Better have lots more NSD now - going to be lean until pay day.

    NSD 2 please!

    And is definitely is a NSD as I had a letter through from the bank saying my rent had bounced as there was no money in my account, so I didn't even manage to spend on my rent today!!

    Ooops!
