    Sorry you're having bad mornings :( I could murder a drink myself, so anyone is welcome to my share if that perks things up a bit? I'm fed up of being pregnant :(

    Could you not acquire a few butties, and rearrange the plate so no-one notices?! I have known that done, but haven't done it myself :whistle:

    I loved the buffet lunches at one of my old jobs especially when meetings were cancelled and the caterer was never told, loads of free sandwiches for lunch, no wonder I piled on the weight :D

    I would love to steal some. However, my diet doesn't not allow it and our catering staff will take it straight to the meeting room.... hopefully they will bring some out with them if they don't eat it.

    No your not, take a deep breath and make a cup of tea. It could be something really simple that he hasn't spotted. Try to keep positive.

    IA dont panic yet. I know you are desperate to be debt free, but maybe you just need to be a bit more realistic. just imagine if you were in the financial situation you were in last year.
    it might still be something simple. they will just want to plug it in to one of those diagnostic machines.

    its at times like this though you are glad you have the AA, or green flag or whatever.
    I always grudge the money, but if you had had to call out a garage you would have been talking mega bucks already.

  • you know you're right dog.. I was so close to cancelling the AA cos I though 'it's only 3 years old.. what could go wrong?' but it was when I read the weekly email about the cashback through quidco for AA cover I decided to get it!!! So glad I did now...
