What's with Bournemouth and roadworks at the minute?

So annoying. They stopped and started on around the traffic lights on Poole Road/Surrey Road junction several times now. Then its Christchurch Road up to Boscombe. Driving to work is a pain currently.

Time to become a contractor in the roadworks sector during this credit cunch.

Still waiting for the 3% to kick in

3 percent interest rate
3% base rate
Not sure if the mortgage companies are buying into the spirit of Xmas and the interest rate drop.

I immediately got a letter to say that my savings rates are getting cut but have only got the mortgage company to pass on the 0.5% cut from a few weeks back. Even then they are not reducing my payments but rather paying a bit more capital off.

Show me the money.....!

Why do Autotrader adverts have to one lady owner, lady doctor owner or even elderly lady owner? What, for a 4 litre Jag Sport, my arse!

They are so cheap at the moment. Finding it hard to restrain myself from getting something for the weekend. Ooer, Mercedes.

Every couple of years I need to do a hardware refresh on the old optical assets and how opportune that Specsavers have their 2-for-1 offer on, which is probably on a few times a year when things are slow for them.

Another credit crunch beating offer not to be missed.

Get yourself all Gok-ed up.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
