    Yeah I hope so. I think just recently men have been a source of problems! am far too singular in many ways and don't have any positive contact with men my own age. Aside from dating websites and bigger bunch of total knobs you couldn't hope to find.


    One of my other friends said something about how awful people are these days and on the whole I don't really think that is true. I think about silly things like letting people out at junctions and pedestrians who say thank you when you stop at traffic lights or people who hold open doors and students who offer to help with stuff. The lovely man who gave up his cab for my Mum to get to home sooner. So there are good people out there. And do think generally you if you look for the good you find it.


    Just at the moment I am rather off men ;)

    I think I saw the same comment you did Buffy, and it bothered me a bit, because there was a bit of truth in it, but I think those that fought did it partly so future generations would not have to experience the horror of war, and that inevitably leads to some taking-for-granted of the relative peace-time we are lucky enough to have been born into.

    As Pooky also says though, if the situation today was the same as it was then, I think there would be brave, selfless men and women who would put their lives on the line, just as there were back then.

    People are amazing, and rubbish, and have always been so. :)

    Definitely do the PPI thing. I've got 100% success rate in getting it back for my clients.


    Ok, that's 3 out of 3, but it sounded better the other way! :o


    BOI credit card could be Post Office?

    Do not ignore PPI.
    Break to into wee chunks.
    Think about who you had PPI with & gather relevant account numbers.
