My son passed his driving test today - hoorah! Now for the insurance. Anyone used Marmalade? He will drive our car and they are quoting £750 for the year which seems pretty good. If we want to pay monthly, they say we have to take a loan out with Premium Credit - is that usual? Will this affect...

At the beginning of June I was watching tv not thinking about much when it suddenly occurred to me that we should do the postcode lottery. Don't know why as I have never thought about it before. So I signed up. Have never won anything on the main lottery, pools etc but sometimes you should heed...

Bookies last night took large multiple bets on 3 unfancied horses at very long odds running today. The first 2 horses have won after their odds obviously dropped dramatically.

The Mother-in-law is coming back to the UK from South Africa to live here permanently later in the year (she is a UK citizen). She had a long term partner over there (not married and they have now split up, hence she wants to come back) who wants to either give her a lump sum before she leaves...

Just watched this on Netflix. Worth watching if you have not seen it. Lots of contributions from Gazza, Pep, Mourinho, Ronaldo, Lineker, Shearer, Sir Alex etc. Pep says he phoned Bobby after he went to Newcastle and offered to come and play for them but Newcastle could not afford him. Also...
