The Long Weekend...
Friday 28th July – I was going through the routine of opening my post and was surprised to find a letter from Virgin Credit Cards saying I could transfer my balance interest free... this may not be much of a surprise if I owned a Virgin card but I don’t! I got worried that someone might have ‘stolen’ my identity. It turns out that MBNA used the wrong letter heads or something!Saturday 29th July – You may recall my run in with my mobile network recently... well, this is part 2: I got an invoice from them charging me over £400 for an ‘early termination penalty’! I couldn’t believe them! They first got my cancellation mixed up and I even specified that I don’t want to see an invoice a few weeks time showing their errors, and what happens?! I was initially quite annoyed with them and wanted to give them a piece of my mind... but when I actually got through to talk to an operator I sort of became all meek again... I am no good with expressing my annoyance – should have got Trees to do it for me. LOL
Sunday 30th July – Woke up early for my first ever (and maybe last) car boot sale at my local park. I took all my unwanted law books and 30 odd mangas along with any other junk I could find at my place and headed for the car boot sale. First off, I must say I am hopeless at haggling and it appears I am hopeless at selling too... or the buyers were pros and knew how to work the seller, me! It was not really what I would call a successful day as I ended up taking all my law books home again! Hahaha The mangas were the first to go then followed by toys and my Harry Potter premiere posters. In the end I made dead on £40 profit so the new total is £63! Woohoo
The end of an era – Top Of The Pops’ final episode. It has been years since I watched TOTP, I believe I stopped watching when it moved from BBC1 to BBC2, and the move from a weekday (I think it was initially aired on Thursday nights but I could be wrong...) to a Sunday added to its downfall. Well, I made sure I caught this last ever episode – the various clips throughout the years have been nostalgic, I remembered those Kylie and Jason days, who could forget Bros,?! Goodbye, farewell TOTP!

Just catching up with your blog before we return home. I'm sorry to have missed the last ever TOTP - we remember it from the very early days - it was indeed on a Thursday evening and if you hadn't seen it you were treated as some sort of eccentric the next day at school.
