    Brilliant! :j:j:j

    You can still do it!;)

    Thanks marmite :T, managed it by locking myself indoors all day :rotfl:. Can't complain as it gave me time to enjoy the sunshine :D. Thanks for taking time to do the updates too :T,

    Happy anniversary, Modesty :beer:.

    OrganisingMyLife, i thought it was just me who carried empty bank cards around. One of my cards literally has 3p on it, but will i leave it at home? Noooooo :rotfl:. Like you i feel utterly lost without my cards in my purse. Not sure what we can do about reversing that attitude though! Good luck with your NSD's for the rest of July :T.

    Found 25p in the washing machine, so that's going in the moneypot :T

    Yes we are a bit addicted too Rising, addicted enough to sit for 2 days in solid rain at the Silverstone Track and then get sunburnt on actual race day, MENTAL, MENTAL British weather currently although it seems it did the same in Germany. We had it booked before we were both made redundant so figured we might as well still go and enjoy it!

    Marmite - Luckily Mark Webber won the British GP so we are going to fit it into the name somehow, maybe first name maybe middle name. Can you imagine the poor thing going to school being called Fernando Alonso!
    Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700
    :TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

    Think I now need to log off the laptop and go to bed before I accidental purchase something online... :D

    Thanks Marmite, (today was #2 :eek:) It's not really just the food that's the issue, it's also the cooking of it that's a problem!!! I moved back into the hell hole (my parents) as my landlord decided he wanted to do something with the place I was renting mid term - I'm a teacher so not the best time to move!
    Unfortunately I have been here since, luckily in a way as last July I took voluntary redundancy and although I got a new job in January it was only temporary so I am now without a job again so I would be a little stuck if I was in my own place but at least I would eat better!

    It is going to be something that has to be dealt with over the summer, while I am still searching for a new job... *sigh*
    Finally debt free! :j :j :j

    hotspur_pam - yay to NSD no 1, we all knew you could do it :j:j:j:j

    Rising - I'm pleased Maisie is a bit more like her normal self again. I agree with you over the beeb F1 commentary now, it's dire:mad::mad: I find myself wanting to stick Eddie Jordan's mic somewhere rather painful:rotfl::rotfl:

    Red - glad you had a good evening, hope it was worth the hangover;)
