    The mad thing is, I called them about their kind offer and he said, oh, just a minute, what does it say on the letter? I told him £1300 and he said - it says £1750 on my screen - the underwriters must have changed it since the letter went out!!! £1750!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They *know* you can pay off debt, and they get their money back, so I guess they think "nothing ventured, nothing gained..."

    What they don't know, is that you've learned lessons...

    I wish I was off to Birmingham today. Instead it'll be a day of homework and housework. Don't you just hate using the 'H' word?:rotfl:

    It's only an hour and a bit away for me. Of course for those people that live there, it's *really* convienient.

    Hey Toto... :wave:

    Thought you were birmingham bound...

    Hi sweets,

    I decided not to go, mostly because my head hasn't been in a great place lately so I wasn't sure that it was the right time for meeting a bunch of new people. I'm pretty shy to be honest.

    Anyway, I'm sure they'll have a great time.

    So am I - and I did it...

    Hope you're going to go to the next one then. I know I speak for everyone when I say: We'd all like to see you.

    But not as good as if you'd been there. But on the bright side, it means us here will have a better time. Their loss: Our gain... :D
