    A black carpet beetle I think. The beetles are around thumbnail size, jet black, and the larvae look a bit like hairy caterpillars, but they only have 6 legs all at the front end. They aren't bad really, just relentless - so hard to get rid of!

    Oh dear me, I haven't a clue what's going on at work. Looks like my job is going to completely change, don't mind too much if they give me a pay increase:rotfl: but get the impression I won't. I'm not doing more work for no extra pay :mad:

    Hi all, paid another £80 off the card, so have reached the 50% mark :) ....however there is some money to go on to it and next year some (most) of the holiday will be going on to it. Looks like there are shake ups at one of the places DH works at too....oh well...there's nothing I can do about that. Things always work out, some how or another.

    On a positive note, I had my first day at Uni today, which went really well. :)

    New balance is £2760.67/£5426.67 50.87%
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    Thanks Gunwharf. Unfortunately it will probably be short lived as I need to balance transfer some money on to it. :o Looks like it won't be long until you get there too! :T :D
