Excuse me playing around with CSS and styles - I'm relatively new to all this!

Net banking shows that my latest payment has gone in. All I need now is my ITV Dig refund cheque and I'll be somewhere near the (virtual) black again. Yay! I've not been able to take anything out of my account (properly - without having been over my limit) for about a month now!

*thinks* A week until next loan payment. Best grovel...

Sleep - early night I think. Why? Feh, bored... fed up. Will try to have a busy day tommorrow.... Send off a couple of apps for jobs in this weeks' Computer Weekly.

Right then...

Superb news for AOL-haters, not so good news for those like me, who think AOL have performed an admirable task in bringing the many and varied benefits of the internet to the masses. Time Warner don't sound happy!

Two letters from the DSS

• One letter informing me of the previous year's tax position, for some reason
• One asking me to clarify my reasons for leaving employment - it's not going to be fun to fill in - asking lots and lots of reasons why i left, and whether I tried to rectify the situation that caused me to leave and so on and so forth.

A package with no return address

Turns out to be a CD from David, was very surprised. Many many Adrian Sherwood tracks. Thank you! Haven't listened to it yet but the track listing alone looks promising.

A letter from the bank

This letter is only informing me how over-overdrawn I am, they're about a month late in sending it though. They normally send it a few days after going over the limit.

A Letter from Safeway's

Informing me that applications for the IT grad scheme are closed, even though on their website it says that they accept applications all year round. Hmmm.

A letter from O²

Asking me to send away a Direct Debit form that shoulda been done at registration. Nice of the guy on the registration phone-line to tell me!

The information I requested from ICS (Distance Learning company)

Information on MCSEs and MCPs and various MS Qualifications. Damn these things are expensive. Even as a distance learning course you're looking at over £1,000.

Can today get better? Probably not... I was going to *sigh* there, but nope. There's nothing too hard to handle. No matter how overwhelming and depressing it all is right now. Just work at it.

It's actually fairly rare these days for me to giggle insanely at Dilbert, but this one almost had me falling off the seat I'm sitting on. It's brilliant. Absolutely superb.
