    We finish the challenge on a Thursday (1/4/2010) so maybe we'll have to settle for a DFW style party on the Friday night? (Although they can get pretty rowdy hehe!) At the rate I'm going mine'll be a bottle of lambrini though or maybe value beer and value lemonade to make shandy!

    It's the picture by someone's name - you can put one in if you go to the 'User CP' section in the bluey greeny line at the top of the page (CP = control panel, I think).

    Suoerfast Gran I am SO not sitting beside you at the picnic if you look like your avatar! :D

    I am just so absolutely gorgeous and soooo superfast that no earthly camera can take my photo normally unless the shutter clicks at "warp" speed :p :rotfl:

    Arghh First Active are driving me up the wall. The last two months I've had to queue for over half an hour to get through to someone (I've been ringing them every month to get an updated figure for years without any issue). Today their normal number is giving an engaged tone. I rang on the sales line and asked to be put through to the right dept and now I'm in an insane queue again. When I get through I'm going to ask for a person's name to complain to and I'm going to write and do it (last time I just asked for my comments to be passed onto the supervisor).

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    :D - thanks for making me laugh. I'm loving your avatar, DD!

    Hmm..now I need to get one for FreedomGirl

    (I think you guys can work out why I picked my name, seeing as it is the MFiT3 thread - FreedomFromMyBl**dyMortgageGirl i.e. FFMBMGirl was just too much of a mouthful!)

    Poppy would be offended (if she was alive still)
