That's excellent IA, wow your egg total is soooo low now and that's with all your xmas pressies too. WHat have you got the girls this year? It's so easy buying for little people their wants are so much cheaper, DS2 wants the ELC rocket that costs £20, he has been going on about it for weeks so he's got that.

It must feel brilliant to be starting the new year with less than £6k of debt! :T

we haven't actually got them anything yet as we wanted to get Egg back on track and vanquis cleared... we're leaving it late I know! Actually tell a lie Ashli has got a little kiddies drum kit seeing as she's so keen on Ste's.. lol There's already loads of presents under the tree though and only 3 aren't for the girls :eek:
No idea what we're going to get K but we want to get Ash one of those fisher price digital cameras.. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3482845/Trail/searchtext>FISHER+PRICE+CAMERA.htm
We were going to get her a Dora laptop but having looked at them they're not very good so back to square one not knowing what else to get her.. lol.

lol it basically sounds like I've hit a wrong note but in fact I just didn't mute the string below properly so it made the proper note sound wrong. lol

then again I am a perfectionist.lol and I'm sure Toto was spot it in an instant... She'd probably slate the whole thing! :rotfl:

Get it sent of course I won't slate it, I'm honest but kind. That said, ages ago a friend sent me a live recording from their first pub gig and it was truly awful, I mean shocking. Every instrument was out of tune, the singer couldn't hit anything other than middle c and time?? Oh lord it was pants. And they asked for an honest opinion so I gave it, for their sake... not one of them has spoken to me since.

But I'm sure your track is great!

IA, we were going to get DS2 the fisher price FP3 player (like an mp3 player) and looked on the internet for prices. I found ebay (USA) to be the cheapest and found I could get it for about £20 cheaper, you may find you can get similar savings on the camera though I've just remembered you'll get a good staff discount at argos won't you. In the end we didn't get him one but I have bought him a cheap Alba cd player (£5) and poundstretcher headphones (£1.99).

Toto, she's being waaay too hard on herself......there are a couple of places where the tempo (is that the word?) seems to increase slightly (barely noticeable to the untrained ear), a duff note allegedly (although I can't tell where), and there's a bit at the end where it all goes a bit mad (IA's words, not mine ), but honestly, they're sounding great.

Oh, and Ryan loved it btw Sar......I knew he would!

lol... well it is our first attempt at recording and we've done it ourselves at home so obviously if it was done professionally it would be a lot better... but yes ok, hod my hands up, I'm a perfectionist :rotfl:
