  • Morning all.

    Just tried Martin's recommendation to call up for the refund of a mortgage exit fee, but it seems I was charged the lower amount , worth a try though. I was surprised - I was with GMAC and they are the biggest load of money grabbing fee charging so and so's you could ever find.

    Odd thing happening here - we had awful rain last night but it is really sunny today and there is steam rising off the fence panels where the sun is drying them. It's very bizarre!

  • I could do that job - I could shout at men all day telling them where to kick a ball and then turn round and say 'yes, I was rubbish, I understand why you're sacking me, cheers for the 2 million..........'

    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
