    Thanks guys.
    Janey I nicked the idea from the oldstyle board.x

    Now I've nicked 'em from you :)
    It is great when you get a nice chunk of money on top of pay. Only downside is having to do the chuffing marking.

    I know that feeling! Since agreeing to that temporary role in the Autumn term I keep thinking of the money :j (approx and extra £2.5k over the 4 months) then I remember I'll actually have extra work to do :eek: :(


    Are you on holiday yet Al? Can't remember who's said what! I've got one more day :T

    Thanks MCI. God bless.

    I want to murder at least two colleagues today. I feel like Bilbo wearing the ring, stretched so much I am ready to snap.

    Need to look out for Dave Ramsey on radio
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
