God, at this speed everythings a blur. But I'm too excited to slow down (stop sniggering you crude lot).

Congrats everyone. Nice to have such chatterboxes around.

Not bad considering we were virtually only open for business from the 10th of September.

It all started on the 11th when Andy joined.

A good months result in anyone's language.

I bet Andy regrets it now - it's probably cost him a couple hundred dollars, and wait until his bosses find out that he hasn't done any work for a month

Just billed some work now so

Do need to ease up a little though during work hours! Might actually get something done but it's a great way to pass the time when I'm severely lacking in motivation...see Mondayitis thread!

I'm a chatterbox? Says the two blokes with almost 1500 posts (almost half the entire forum) between them!

Bloody enjoying myself though so thanks for posting everyone.

Can't you go out and find a new mineral and give me half of the profits?

Am I going to get a cake when I reach a 1000? Which should be in about 24 hours at this rate.

(We will think about the cake)

Kitty can bake it in her spare time.
