    Fingers crossed, touching MDF ...

    Felt strange - all I had to do was quote figures from my SOA. I hope my credit score has recovered enough from the credit card two months ago.

    One piece of bad news: got hit with a parking ticket, my first in about 17 years. £50 to Croydon Council; I hope they use it to improve the bottlenecked cut-through where I was parked for five minutes while picking up my daughter from the childminder.

    Say 'goodbye' to my highest interest source - now to plan how best to knock down the interest on my student loan and to bring it to the UK if possible.

    I like being proactive.:cool:
