I got flu last winter, first day back after new year. I then knew that I'd never had proper flu before & now know I never want it again!!!!! Knocked me back for at least two weeks. Now I'm fit & able but can't get out because of the sub-zero temperature!!

Think I'm just gonna start my official xmas holiday now to be honest as forcast shows no improvement.

Get well soon dude & have a good xmas. ;)

dazmond sounds like i'm where you were 3 years ago  :'(

was you a w/c then?

you right i've learned the hard way this year, got to learn from it need a grand spare behind me probably more, but that's something to aim for 2010, don't want to set the bar to high.

i remember when i worked in the print and was self-employed, there was a cock up with my accounts, short story instead of the usual £1500 a yr i had to pay £5000, i felt physicaly sick when i came out of my new accountants office, but managed to save up in under a year (can't exactly remember time span)

but it's amazing what you can do when you have to :o

good for you dazmond.  (my bum's twitching here, hope no more snow :'()

Parkers guide online says ford connect and transit are the most reliable van in uk.
Got my eye on them also would be the cherry on the cake if they made one with a temp bench seat like the new berlingo/partner.



Carl, i always say merry xmas ;) just to see custy squirm if nothing else, will also wish the tight gits happy new year when i see them.

everyone deserves a 2nd chance, ay :D

I got a bottle of wine today as well.  I can just imagine the look of horror on their faces if they realised what they were doing LOL.  I just give them to my friends (the ones who know how to drink without ending up in mental institutions).
