Cheers earwig, Personally, I reckon chuck the extra at your card, or if you must buy yourself a treat get a slow cooker or breadmaker

" Id liike to thank Delia Smith, Jamie oliver and Nigella, without whom I wouldnt be here today etc...."

Nice one earwig, so chuffed for all of you xx

Any more ideas from anyone else?

bobsa1 · 14 April 2006 at 10:04PM

Pay 3/4 off your debt and see if you can pick up a cheap breadmaker & sc with the rest. (car boot sale?, or Charity Shop)

Give yourself a treat from Boots- check out boots thread for pampery stuff

:j Well done Earwig and Lynzpower :j

Pay off some more of your higher rate debts and then place a wanted ad on freecycle for a slow cooker and a breadmaker. Im sure somebody will have them out there collecting dust or taking up cupboard space. My breadmaker was in the cupboard untill I really got into this site but it is back out and working now - just tastes toooo good though
