  • Hi benbenandme

    First time I've entered one of the forums, just wanted to say I'm really impressed how you can go into several shops and limit the spending as you do. Well done.

    Morning all :D:D What yucky weather !!! I have to go to a friends and pick up the carpet cleaner this morning, I have no idea how I'll get it up to my flat as it weighs a ton, (I live on the 2nd floor). I may have to put the heating on for a bit to help the carpets dry as I can't open the windows or they'll get even wetter :rolleyes: :D

    Happy carpet cleaning!

    Once I can actually see my carpets, I will be hiring one myself :o

    Good luck with that carpet cleaning :eek: just looking at the state of mine. Ug.

    Skint spice - most people *do* set up a separate account, thats often the advice given, and since I'm self employed, it was important to me. Also, you get *paid* to open up a new current account if you do it through Quidco!

    Carpets and sofa are looking nice and clean, if a little damp :o:o I had to put the heating on to try and dry them, it will be going off again tonight :rolleyes: :D

    The matched bet has settled and thats another 40 quid on its way to the mortgage fund and another month I've kissed goodbye to ;) :T
