    Well, I've just done my bit to try to keep Leon off the number 1 spot with that awful song he was given. I've downloaded the Pogues and Kirsty McColl :D

    I've also bought I Can't Wait Til Christmas by Lovetrain ;) to help another MSE'er on their path to Christmas number 1 :cool: ;)

    Erins school play tonight! I'm going along with both grannies. Should be interesting!

    Hope big G has done some housework(to be fair to him, he always does!) as it's his mother who has the high standards. She'll be there before i even get home i guess. Hope she doesn't want anything for her tea!?

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

    bloomin inland revenue - another case of the computer says no. Wonder how they'd feel about receiving 10 cheques adding up the grand total of £27.68? Can't think of better people to pay charges to cash them.

    Also had a frustrating call to Scottish Elec. to provide DD details, didn't want to tell me what i would be paying a month. Is it irrational to want to know how much they want to take? think not!

    Anyone want to write my christmas cards? it's a job i hate and there's loads which i need to post tomorrow! please please pretty please??????

    Good news though, apparently pay rise has been agreed 2.5% back dated to Sept to be paid in Jan (car breathes sigh of relief - service can now be booked) and i've got the two days off after boxing day which is the first time since 2001. Yay!

    Happy Christmas everyone.

    That doesn't sound too bad PAP

    Lemon Tree - I hate it when companies won't give you an exact amount for a DD, very annoying.

    Speaking of DDs, one of ours didn't go out on the 3rd for the home & contents insurance, but the insurance side of it did (two separate companies) - should I be worried?
