Gaffers, I've taken the liberty of resizing your avatar and sticking it on photobucket here:

Would you mind using this one, as your avatar is too big and I can't read your posts.

Ta - John.  ;)

Just one other thing. I love Christmas and normally go OTT, but this year is going to be a bad one  :'(


Not really affected yet -- apart from general belt tightening due to inflation racing ahead of pay rises.

Thank goodness for the missus .... she has been saving loyalty points and does paid surfing for pennies. Been squirelling it away all year and it has literally paid for Christmas ( with some left over) --- food, pressies, xcards .. the lots !!!!!!!

I've got about £150 in shrapnel which will pay for the food. I always empty my pockets into a big jar when I come in. The bloke at the Post Office gets a bit annoyed when he see's me walking through the door with bags of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50p's ;D
