Bless you Natty. If it makes you feel any better I have completely blown virtually all of my meagre savings on Florida large deposit and still need to pay for remainder / park tickets / parking / insurance / car hire as well as spending money so like you will be winging the next few months. I may have slightly overstretched our future wages however I am not changing my OPs even if I have to cancel Christmas. Just hoping when they take my over paid wages we can still afford to eat!

At least you used your savings HDK - had it been me it would have gone onto the Amexmasteramericanexpressvisa Card

Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.

Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?

Yes it is.

Hmm... that's cunning

To the tune of Blackadder....

"Natty, she is in a financial mess, oh yes she is in quite a pickle. Nattypants, she really should not digress, by ignoring her CC she owes more than a few nickel"
"Nattypants, nattypants, she really needs to learn her lesson quick
"nattypants, nattypants, she is heading for some deep !!!!"

Here, found you a joke to cheer you up.

A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.

A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergymans sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others.

By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."

I am considering which DVD (from my extensive DVD library of 10), should I select for my Saturday night bedtime viewing.... I'm thinking I may go with my fail safe - Friends Boxset.

I mean, can I be any more money saving? (in the voice of Chandler - geddit)

I have received emails about that, but as I only really academic material, I don't watch live TV anymore:p

Okay, that's crap about only reading academic material, but I really don't watch live TV....
