    yep still off them...this cabbing game is never easy and no two days are the same.Hope vyou can get it fixed for a reasonable amouint ..why do repairs and stuff like this happen when we've got no money..lol..
  • Quoted £360 today. It's always the worst possible times these things happen. Could seriously do without the cash that I have getting used for the fancy hut.

    You get there though. You always do.

    This week has been very, very quiet. I can't see it improving until the schools go back.

    Bet you would rather have the £30 than a Celtic win.


    Erm yes, but only since i became MSE!!! Terrible huh!!?

    I'm working tomorrow night when the game is on, I will take my dinner break and watch the first half probably but I will go back out to work when it is still going on. Fifteen years ago I would have been in Lisbon right now along with the rest of my mates who are there. I have hardly gave it a second thought today.

    I actually prefer listening to matches on the radio than watching TV, i think Radio scotland do such a good job, gotta love chick young et al!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)
  • Maz I would do a lot of things to Chick Young, love him isn't one of them.

    I think their commentry is the best as well. In fact I don't listen to anybody else.

    Taxi I had an extra 15 minutes in bed there. No point what soever rushing out. I have just had to accept that I will only be covering bills this week and paying very little to the fancy hut fund. Anyway better away and get started at least it is raining.

    Hope you have a good day then x
  • Beat the target yesterday, just. I am spot on for the target for the week. One plus point was Rangers going through last night to the semis of the Uefa Cup. I have already knocked my mate back for the trip to Italy as I just can't afford it right now:mad: The old me would have put that on the c/c first thing this morning.

    Hopefully today and tomorrow will be better. I have just accepted that I will be only treading water this week as my Barclaycard bill is due and I still haven't paid my bank money all in.

    One thing it will keep me at work all of today and tomorrow.

    Hope you have a good day yourself today and keep off the fags.

    ITBS enjoy this and the next few weekends as they will be the last normal ones you have:D

    Anyway 15 hours awaits. Empires weren't built by boys lieing in their beds.

    Have a great weekend one and all.

    Well done for not just throwing the Italy trip on the CC. Better off in the long run.

    re the normal weekends..... I will be GLAD to get back working. I have gone from having my own business and working 84 hours a week (12 hours a day 7 days) to nothing. So frustrating.

    Good luck today mate, hope you smash your target. Whats happening over the repair???
  • Going to claim the insurance. My excess is £400. I will get a courtesy car when it is in getting fixed as well. Been told it will take a day. I am expecting two but am not fussed. I can also get it done when it suits me as well. At a garage which is just down the road. I am quite happy at this. I will get a new door and mirror and both wing and back door painted to match it. I was only getting it repaired for £360 so I reckon the extra £40 is worth it. Also get a valet as well so it works out the same price.

    Having not to bad a day today just ticking away nicely and I have a decent book for when it is quiet. I will also be running my mates about a lot tonight as one is going to a do in Bearsden, the other is out every Friday. Should make a few quid tonight. I am just in for my dinner just now.
