    I don't know what you have missed really, apart from there being loads of newbies on the boards, so lots of advice needed.

    And I have cleaned my kitchen and my dining room :eek: Actually managed to do a full flylady list :D

    Glad that you both had a good time away. I hope you are revived and ready for more debtbusting!

    Okay, back to the money stuff ;):D
    Overall I think I spent about 20.00 on petrol and 30.00 on stuff while we were away. We also stopped at a retail outlet place on the way home and I bought ds school shoes for 19.00 instead of 2.00 in the normal shop ;) I also bought him a jumper for 4.00 but realised when I got home it was on the wrong hanger and is a 9-10 not a 5-6 :mad: :mad: I also got myself 2 pairs of board shorts, they were 18.00 or 2 for 20.00, so one pair might be heading ebay-way ;):D

    Tomorrow I am off to collect my glasses, get my Nan a birthday pressie and deliver it, collect the piglets from my mums and go food shopping. I also need to tackle the washing mountain in my kitchen :rolleyes: :D

  • Glad to see you had a nice time, BBaM.

    We three managed to get a weekend at Devon Cliffs in the end for 30th / 31st August in the end. Not the 3/4 night break at October half-term that we wanted but a break all the same...:T

    I did wonder which way you went. I live in Bristol now, moved from Yeovil in 1999, but still go back and see how good the town looks now I've moved out...

    Sounds a nice day, Benben - but yes, looking for your next matched bet would give you lots of excuse to play around on the computer ;)
