Astro is the same every week, he hasn't got a long range other than rapping. Love Melanie, I want her to win. I think Rachel is really cute and can see her being a big star. There is something about Chris Rene, I do like him thou. Josh is brilliant too. Stacy has a really lovely voice, I'm happy she has stopped all the crying malarky, was getting a bit bored of it to be honest.

I worked as an Office Manager back home, I worked through lunch most day, and it was common I worked on Saturdays for stock taking, my hours were 8am - 4pm, I was lucky to leave work at 5.30. No over time for me. I know of people losing their jobs, just be thankful you have one. Hubby works silly hours, case of having to, what with the recession, and with so many lay off's these days, just grin and bear it!!!!!!!!! I so remember working most of the year and saved all my annual holiday for the December, was told on 27th November the company has gone under, I lost all my holiday and didnt get paid the money owed to me. My boss was a friend by the way!!!!!!!!! Some friend Ayyyyyy!!!!!!!. <em>edited by salsB on 11/11/2011</em>

Very important and yes I have done Hubby's Iban. We got an email the other day from payroll informing us the Iban number I sent was incorrect, I just forgot a "0", why are there so many????? All sorted now, so salary should be ok. Is it a common thing for all banks here to want the Iban or just HSBC????? <em>edited by salsB on 11/11/2011</em>

Hubby surprised me with a flying lesson, I loved it, even thou I was hungover. The lesson was in Coventry, the instructor was very informative, I would have loved to take it up and learn more, just never got round to it, and obviously the expense.

I was at the beach at the weekend and a plain clothed police officer removed people from the beach. One guy wasnt wearing trunks or the like, god knows what he had on but it was very see thru, disgusting actually. There was another guy shouting out things like, umm nice and shouting hello all the time, I wont repeat what I said but he got the message. Just perverts.

Over the last 6 weeks I have had one problem after another, getting really fed up with it all now. The lastest problem is that I have a bad infection in my gum ( brought on after a deep clean) on 2 types of antibiotics and pain killers and they are making me feel even worse. Worse thing no vino or Voddie, tut tut!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best friends should be able to discuss this issue without being offended, It's a child's safety that's at risk. If the Mother was driving her car and the child wasn't restrained, then she needs to be reminded of the dangers.

Making a long term commitment to your mortgage is necessary, are jobs that safe here, you do not have the rights to abode, even thou you may own property. Alot of properties are basically thrown up, structures can be very poor, and high fees, Is this all worth it, just to save paying rent?????

I do find some people just don't think what they are saying and are utterly rude. At the ID recently I had the lady look at my passport and she looked me up and down and then to the passport again, and straight as you like said, " You are fat now maam".
