    No, no I'm an 'eastie' and know/use the gubbed phrase. I didn't even consider it Scottish - although I am more used to people describing their depth of knackerdness in more sweary terms;)

    Thanks for that natty. I thought they were going to talk and talk and talk for pages about gubbed;
    'Is it an eastern phrase?'
    'Is it a western phrase?'
    'Yes I know what it is'

    without anyone explaining it!!!:rotfl:

    You know how I thought I only had £15 to pay to get into the £45Ks? Well looked at balance this morning and DD hadn't come balance but interest had been added so was back in £46Ks - as you would expect - but just looked again and it's showing as sub £46K and saying I went into £45Ks when I paid the £15... can't wait to see what happens tomorrow but a little confused.

    Mortgage payment still not appearing but tis gone from my account... I don't suppose it'll update until Tuesday now - don't they know how impatient I am:mad:?

    Posting this here cos I fancy making it at some point over the weekend and won't find it again otherwise:o

    Weather is awful here, hoping it picks up at some point as there's gardening to be done!

    Did a wee run with DS yesterday and sort of hurt my neck getting out of the car (I know, I know), ran anyway and ache like crazy today - oh and back hurts too :( unfortunately I need to take DS shopping for birthday stuff so hoping it will ease off with moving about (also have a 10K in a couple of days so it's a bit of a disaster).
    So no baking done, no gardening done and today will be a bit spendy...

    Studying today, finished a project - always good. Apart from that lunch with DS and more ibuprofen, seems to be improving but not exercising or walking even is bloomin awful:(
