luckykaaI've lost my USB cable for my mp3 player.
Now, this has one of 3 possible locations - my desk in my room in Cheltenham, or packed in one of two bags. Both bags are now empty and I thoroughly checked the entire room. It was not there. Really would have liked it if those idiots at Sansa had used a standard USB mini or micro.
The M25. Yes, I know it's a running joke. Does anyone have experience with it though. Is it always stopped between the M4 and the M3 at 3:30 on a Friday? Would it make sense to avoid that part entirely? What is a good way to avoid it (coming via Oxford from the M40)
Less annoyingly, I've been paid. Or at least got my payslip (Money will take a few days to reach my account). And because of a hefty expenses claim I get to keep most of it. Okay - this does mean I spent a lot of that already but it's still a nice feeling to see big numbers. Wish I understood anything about what I get paid though. Lots of tax stuff where I actually get paid minimum wage then I get paid a commission and then they take away employers NI subtract expenses give them back to me and I'll just assume they get it right.
