    Not half as manic as i expected (i work for a fleet management company looking after people with company cars, booking services, mots etc for them) and we had been shut for 8 days so was expecting a lot of calls to go back to from our out of hours cover but we only had 3 calls the whole 8 days!

    Last year i had 30 odd calls to deal with so was dreading going back! :o

    I have put another £3ish in pot today, first time it has been fed for a few days!

  • Hi All

    I did'nt realise I had her pointed the wrong way :-). I will sort that out tonight and repost her ready for a parade xxxxxx

    Stressedsteph, not to sure on the techie name for it, but i think you can rotate your pic of porky pig, if you know teenager ask them they tend to know about that kind of stuff.

    lilmissmup, that is the kiss of death, you will prob get loads of calls tomorrow.

    Got my Mum sorted today - she's cheating though as she is using an old pringles tub and it is already half full with 1 & 2 pences!

    I also made her do one of Martins spread sheets and she spends 400 pound a month more than she earns...so can't imagine she'll have much to go in her pot!

    it's in the bread maker as i speak (write) Shelley, can't wait to try it!
    Spent a busy day, went to where the ice rink is, sorted out 2 tickets for Sunday with my mate who owes me... lol, sat in a local square in the city centre (yes i know its cold but i was drinking a nice hot chocolate and scoffing a pasty) and watching the hoardes of people swarming into one of those Brighthouse style stores. Amazing how they dont look at the APR eh?
