15. I can ride a bike
16. I can fix a bike
17. I'm off work next week (have I mentioned this already )
18. The boss is off this week, and so am I next week... no boss for 2 weeks!
19. I'm happy

Er.... no, not this year, but it's smaller (more my size :roll: ) and it's lighter so carrying it up 4 flights should be a breeze AND IT'S NEW (I like new)
