    Weights finshed on ebay... £223 and they are being picked up tomorrow:j

    Kills 2 birds with one stone, can turn the garage back into an office/storage and get some cash in the process.

    Got a letter today from Mackenzie Hall:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: OMG they are soooooooo funny. I went down the statute barred road with crapquest months ago and they are trying to recover the "alleged" stst barred debt on their behalf now.

    I have anothe rone on the go with crapquest too but tbh havent kept up with the amount of times they have fell in to default with not suppliying true copies ectc.

    More important things going on at the moment so for at least a week they can.......:whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

    So many letters to write, DCA's, tax credits, mobile phone contracts etc always putting them off. Im not going to BS and say I will do them tomorrow cos i know I wont but I WILL do them when I get back off hols.

    Prob wont be on over weekend, need to get ripped off buying euros:rolleyes: and get my packing done.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend and Ill catch up with you all when I get back.

    Anyone want any duty free:cool: (just kiddin btw)

    Best place to be a taxi driver seems to be Cornwall - do other places charge double time after midnight and 40p per 8th of a mile? :rolleyes:

    Enjoy your hols :)

    It's my life long collection of weights, there's well over 300kilos of solid metal weights there so tbh they're getting a bargain. Gutted to see them go but I will join a gym instead to kill the deadtime when I'm on the road.

    Glad you're feeling better now.:D

    Just caught up with this thread and it's brilliant. Good for you!

    BTW...why are your hands hairy? I always thought that was an urban myth :D
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    In London, you're never more than 20 feet away from someone telling you you're never more than 20 feet from a rat .
