No problems, good luck and enjoy! As long as you check regularly they come quite frequently and add up slowly over time. It's just at the beginning that you want it to come faster and it doesn't, but hang in there, every little helps.
Oh, and I love the corset idea, although I have one that still has the tag on it, never seem to have the right occassion to wear it. Good luck on getting some money back on ebayMoved back to Australia March 2010

Thanks Aussie. Much appreciated.
I am a stay at home mum so I should be able to find the time to do a few of these. even if it's only a fiver, it helps
I also have some tightlacing corsets that are too small for me (sob) that are brand new and cost me hundreds. Going to list those on Ebay, this weekend. I'll be sad to see them go, but not sad to see the money pay off the visa
The hubby will probably be more upset to see them go!0 -

Aussie, your fella still sounds better than mine, the passing out drunk is one my fella does. I would rather he passes out then do what he did the other day when he came into the bedroom on a weeknight at 1am and proceeded to moan and groan all night because he was so drunk. He didn't have to get up for work the next day but i did:mad:
However he does have his nice moments, like helping out at the school fete and he bought me an icecream:D
:eek:I have just got home though and received a letter from the local college to say i have been invited for an interview for the diploma in counselling. This involves doing a ten minute presentation on myself and why i want to train to become a counsellor:eek: They seem to like to make this more difficult than it needs to be! Already panicking!
Eternal optimist, yes its D218, i did the one day revision day the other week and feel i have a fairly good idea of what to write. As long as i write on about social constructions i shouldn't do too badly. I have to admit i'm one of those people who likes working under pressure though! I promise i will revise though!
Good luck with the bike ride tomorrow Aussie:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Hehe, had that one too! He felt guilty last time (2am on a schoolnight) so promised not to drink during the week (lasted 2 days but better than nothing). Somehow the little things make you forget how mad you get at them!!!
enjoy your revision!
Off to pack for tomorrow, hope i don't forget anything (must take helmet, gloves, shorts, water, spares and the rest can be found or scavenged along the way!)
