Thanks everyone. Not counting my chickens until I have a signed contract, but the weight on my shoulders has certainly lifted.
Thanks for the choccies, but I prefer twiglets

IROC-Z has her MOT! An hours labour on the handbrake, and one free retest later, and she's back on the road. Have been having fun driving back home in second gear. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) It's far too easy to be a hooligan in this car, but then I've missed her all week.

Funnily enough we did have a discussion about this during the following tea break. It's not calibrated, although it is uniquely identified (Jane's Hammer (Tarzan Dropped His while swinging from a vine)). In the past I have used what might technically be called a calibrated hammer (or more specifically a drop hammer of known weight and at a specific height) to do explosivity testing (Impact test). And well done Dave.

A client liked one of my designs for their logo. Which means I ought to get paid for the work. So, my self-confidence is at an all-time high for this year. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Zavvi just had a misprice on all ps3 games, showing up as ~90% off
I had a couple of orders cancelled but a friend of mine just had his £70 order (so £600ish worth of games) dispatched!

I've just managed to do a Permeability Plugging Apparatus test without messing up the results or blowing myself up. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Just finishing off the letter to my mobile phone provider telling them as I will be more than 10% worse off with their new changes I am terminating my contract early. Means I get to keep my Samsung Galaxy S too (which arrived unlocked (double win)) and I can go onto the network I wanted originally ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Yep, I didn't agree to pay 10%+ more a month with my usage, and the new contract changes will cost me more. They don't change their settings often because of this ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif) Didn't actually finish the letter in the end, will do it when I get home lol

Yes, if the increase will put you at a material disadvantage (i.e. if continuing your normal usage will cost you more as a result).

I submitted an invoice yesterday morning via email, and the client paid within the hour. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif) And I shall add that my local library has a copy of a 1948 book called "The Other Side of the Hill" which I want to read.
