    Many years ago, Mr SA's dad accidentally burnt an envelope with £150 in it that we'd been saving towards a deposit on a house :( In the end we got the house by the way so all was well that ends well :)

    Hope the vouchers have turned up xx

    Humph - I really dislike people like that (I'm on crutches and have been physically shoved because I wasn't walking fast enough!)

    What a 'plonker' - feel free to substitute that word with whatever expletive you choose. There are so many more good and decent folk than bad but sometimes it's hard to remember that. what makes these folk tick - not a nice experience for you Beanie - hope you're ok.
