    Well more money into my account today and rather than put £100 into bills account I've OPed it, so I'm in the 30Ks:j:j:j

    (don't worry there's plenty money in bills account and I'll pay the money back over the next couple of weeks:cool:)

    So am I!

    In the 30s! That's great. You're doing so well. 30s are still a long way off for me, I'm afraid. Enjoy the feeling for a little while - you'll be hankering for the 20s all too soon! ;)

    Soooo where was I? Busy weekend, work yesterday and out with friend last night followed by a bottle of wine with LM (what was I thinking?) and nice walk with LM today where we covered about 6 miles and realised it was a lot windier than it looked outside:eek: bright and sunny though:D Went to parents and supermarket tonight, ironing now done and I've done a bit of research for a group presentation. Bloomin jiggered now:o

    Bar I had planned to go to with friend was way too busy so we missed out on cocktails but spent a lot less in the wee pub we ended up in, main point of evening was to catch up so managed that just fine;)

    Thanks, only just (£6 under:D) and if I was rounding as normal it would be 40K but a big help psychologically:j:j was showing LM my balance on screen yesterday - he's about the only RL person I know who gets it.

    If there's only going to be one person in you RL who gets it, then he's the best person for it to be. :)
