    They're bringing the 250k limit in soon, which has scared some drivers, as one in particular is heavily in debt, with a 10 plate Galaxy that has 186k on it. He's in the middle of a messy divorce :(

    It's really difficult looking for somewhere to live for one person ... because most sites etc don't break it down into shared house or self-contained, it's all lumped in. So you search for 0-1 bedrooms and get reams and reams of shared student lets and similar. Bl00dy annoying.

    Then - when you finally get past those .... you're out of budget :)

    Just started comping, however will be here still!

    Put 2 hours in, have the chance to win loadsa goodies and even won a £2 Skype voucher last night :cool:

    Let's see how it goes!

    Edit: if I win a house, I'll donate it to Pastures as Martin didn't
    pay her :(

    I think facebook is full of comps and freebies, if you looked at yuour newsfeed and click on everything everyone one of your friends have liked, they can only have liked it because there was a freebie involved or a comp.

    Advice please, youngest is going interrailing, we've decided that the iphone is too precious and the danger of accidentally getting a high data roaming bill means that he is taking an old unlocked phone with.

    Now we've just realised that his SIM card is a micro one, so it won't fit in the phone. So its time for a PAYG SIM. He's going to be in Europe and Croatia (which is not the EU in mobile terms), travelling means it is not cost effective to buy a SIM for each country, so which network do peeps recommend?

    I think i like to imagine it was a woman, who was struggling to feed her kid, and as she watched a wilderbeast or prezwalski's horse or whatever, feeding its young thought......hmmm....that might just work.


    Maybe so, and perhaps we should spare a moments silence for those who laid down their lives to establish that bears can't be milked.:naughty::eek:

    My cats very rarely catch birds, so when i saw pink whistley run past ten mins ago with a bird in her mouth i ran upstairs to cath her and tell her off....

    But... She brought me a live duckling. Un injured.

    Had she intentionally kept it safe, or just not got round to killing it yet? How is it now?

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.
