    Ah but it's where the hell do we find 1k to pay the bill???

    You must at some point have thought 'How the hell are we going to pay off £6105'(I checked your original diary for the figure...I'm not so much of a stalker that I remembered....:o), but you've done it, and more besides.....and the Argos job is looking pretty promising.

    Don't forget that £1k was just a figure off the top of my head as an amount that would be 'really bad' - it might not be anywhere near that. Could you pay the bill with one of the credit cards or have they been cut up?

    I was actually going to say this......dammit!!! I would have maybe been right for the first time ever!! Just didn't want to jinx you by saying 'oh it might be as simple as this....' :o

    Stu's car misfired once and burnt out a spark plug and a bit of wire - no major problem to fix, it cost a bit but not a lot (bit vague I know, but it wasn't so painful that the figure is engraved on my brain, put it that way).
