    I'd already got these free in A via both COS and CS and am delighted they are back. Clearly a TvA shop is on the cards. Thank you, both, for this and thanks to aau (?) who pointed out it was there – I tend not to look much beyond the free stuff.

    I'm pretty sure it was Anon

    I've done something this morning.....that I know may not prove popular with some of the people it was aimed at...basically I feel as if I have pulled the pin and thrown the grenade....and am now just waiting for the fallout!

    it's been a long time coming and has been directed at the management company who run one of the complexes we own a property on....but I feel so much better for having pressed the send button on my email.

    Flipping well done.... you knew it had to be done, and that it was not going to be easy, but you did it :T:T:T:T:T
    DD passed test at 17 but sensibly chose not to buy a car till after Uni, so she was 21 when buying her first. It was a brand new Peugeot with 2 yrs free insurance in the deal and I put my old car in with a bit of cash as the deposit, then she paid the instalments herself.

    Sounds extravagant but it actually worked out cheaper that way than buying an older car and paying hefty insurance. Not sure if similar schemes run now, but maybe worth a look?

    I think that this makes perfect sense, I think what I have paid in insurance over the years. The worst was for DS3 when he past his test at 17 yrs old when insurance was at it's height... the cheapest insurance group still cost us £3,300 for the year. Thank god the costs have come down x

    I always ask people why they want the job.

    What would you say if the reason was....'I am not sure I want to work for xxxx, I know you want me...... persuade me why I should work for you.'

    (yeap... I have said this...)

    4 trains later and I arrived just after 1, currently doing my good deed for the day :) Just caught the look north news headlines and it's about mammograms :rotfl::rotfl:



    I'll go....

    I've never washed my face with soap :eek: cold water is as good as it gets :D

    1 tattoo ( thinking about another :D) and down to 6 piercings - 2 stretched.

    Foods have to be eaten by type and in certain orders depending on the meal.


    I'd like to say I've stepped foot on every continent but I haven't just lacking Antarctica.

    If that case you need to go to the Antarctica.

    Well that's a nice sweet dream isn t it lol. I always seem to be struggling and have such a lot to do and wanting to contact someone but can t find my phone or I've dropped it and it's smashed .

    I still have that repetitive dream about my maths exam and I've done no revision.:eek:

    There's a theory that there's no such thing as a repetitive dream over time. It's argued that you have the same dream over and over again during one sleep session which fools you into thinking that you are having it regularly over time.
