    Hi everybody...

    Update from me: I managed 6hrs at 2nd job today, so that’s extra cash! Plus, while I was at work, Mr P changed the bed and washed/dried/ironed it all – love him!!! (He is available to hire for a small fee…:p).

    Called into Waitrose when I left work and picked up 2 packets of Kingsmill rolls (78p down to 19p), some Somerset brie (£1.36 from £2.59), a caramel shortbread cheesecake thing for Mr P (59p from £1.99) and some half price strawberries, raspberries and blueberries – very happy with my shopping! ;)

    Well done cassey1 on the birthday puddings and coffees! :T

    Myrtle – I think your home grown meal sounds lovely…please feel free to invite me round any time…I promise I’ll be very complimentary! ( I particularly like the idea of home grown slave labour!!:rotfl:).

    Well done Rose28454 on your car boot profit! :j

    Welcome, smellybeki… :hello:

    Not a bad Sunday - lets hope its the start of a good week! :D

    How do you use the soda crystals then? Do you just put them in the drawer? Does it effect the colour fast nature of clothes? Does it lead to any allergies. I currently buy persil tablets which cost a fortune!
