Thanks Lucky I have eaten well .

That's good:j. Going all day on just the cups of tea at the cafe isn't good for you, especially as you're using a lot of physical and nervous energy at the moment. Take care of yourself, we don't want you making yourself ill:A.

Has YouGov paid you yet? If not, it won't be much longer, they're very quick these days:j. Very kind of your Dad to send you the cheque. I hope you spend some of it on yourself at some point and not use it all to cover cashflow problems.

Wow, that's a lot of work:eek:. At least it's a major job to tick off the list. I bet you feel really satisfied. Well done:beer:

My Christmas cards are still in the loft along with the tree & decs - I need to pull my finger out.


Re the lorry hitting the bridge - that is because they are using ordinary satnav & not one designed for bigger vehicles - cheapskates! They deserve the fine & I believe they can be considerable, they certainly are around here. Just think how much they could have saved. One bridge near here they charged about £100K to repair when it was hit even though it was no longer used.

The vehicle belonged to a major national company:eek:, it wasn't just from a small business that maybe couldn't afford all the best kit. I can't remember which company it was though:o


I've always loved maps and using them. I remember long family trips and journeys out in the car as a young child when my Dad used to let me be 'in charge' of navigation. I think he was just being kind, he probably already knew the route;) but he encouraged my love and use of maps. He was a fan of them too. As I got older I was always the one that companions nominated as the navigator, I expect because it was a chore they disliked but I like to think it was partly because it was my 'thing' and I could get us from A to B with no major problems or getting lost. I'm not boasting, it's one of the very few things (maybe the only thing:eek:) that I had/have a talent for.

Thanks Wannabe . It's quite late I think, probably around the 20th for second class.

I'll try and remember to eat Carboot .

No money in yesterday but I'm going to check today. DH said I should spend the money from my dad on myself, but I'll see how tight things are.
