    I bet it does! But just think how far minus you'd be if you hadn't paid all the rest off (if you see what I mean...) :D

    Exactly. Plus that £500 on the minus very quickly became *only* £370 on the minus. So it'll be £0 on the minus before you know it ;)

    :j to TRG turning up on your birthday.

    Reducing minuses - got to be good, and if you're going to clear the £500 off when you're paid, that quickly becomes £130 to the positive again - so hurrah to that! :T

    SO pleased to see TRG turned up (*sends a virtual hug north to him*) - did he bring cheese?! :p

    Dougal is, in my opinion, an eminently sensible dog. :D

    I must invoice today too - can't do mine until this evening though - you have no such excuse... *administers virtual gentle kick up the bum to Pippi* Gerron wi' it lady! :rotfl:

    As Dougal (faithful dog of the Magic Roundabout) says ' No time for toast Florence, NOTHINGS that serious.'

    [Whilst Florence was in a panic about someone stealing all the flowers in the garden]

    And since the Magic Roundabout was originally created in France, it is highly philosophical in content - practically a 'how-to' manual for modern living ........ :D

    Hope the chaps are keeping your blanky tucked in, and the cushions plumped, your cuppa topped up and your toast ration plentiful :D

    Take care you :D
