    Thanks MWC & Goldie
    I went to bed early in the hope a good nights sleep would help. Sadly the alarm in next door's house went off at 2am :mad: Took me ages to get back to sleep. Hoping that is the trauma done with for today though!

    BW :)

    Another work day done and dusted :T

    Had a couple of PC surveys and £6 OP'd. I really like the way the little bits n bobs add up. Keeps me focused on the end goal ;)

    :T hurray for weekends. Been a busy week and I'm glad to be able to chill out now. Even slept for almost 12 hours :eek: so guess must have been tired :o

    No money news to report. I'm waiting for a £35 cashback on Q'co to become payable. So frustrating waiting for it.

    I've been watching Orange is the New Black over the last week. About half way through the first season and finding it quite entertaining. Anyone else seen it and if so what did you think?

    BW :)

    Quiet day here in BW's corner. Just house jobs and watching the bike racing in the main.

    Just had chicken fajita's for tea. I didn't have any Mexican spice mix in so used a tagine mix that I got in Morocco last year. Worked ok :p

    Frustrating that bank accounts don't update on a weekend :undecided looking forward to checking them tomorrow :o Is that what happens after spending too much time in these parts? :D

    Hello there!

    Hoorah for quiet days at the weekend, they are very restorative.

    Trouble with banks, their systems are based in a Mon-Fri 9 to 5 world, whereas we are now in a 24/7 world. If they did decide to upgrade their core systems, we, the customer, would end up paying, so sometimes I think it's safer for them to stay as they are!
