The tesco fabric conditioner is as good as comfort and cheaper.The OS boards suggest adding white vinegar but i tried this and I could definitly smell a faint vinegary smell on my clothing.
You will be a band 6 soon, I got mine 2 years after qualifying, just do all the free courses that you can, be a bit bossy and update your ksf regulary, put yourself forward for everything.
well done on the cross trainer, im not doing too good this week with SW il try to get back on track.
I love the snowba0 -

Costco I paid £19 for Daz (box that says it does 120 washes) and £16 for Surf, said it did £90 washes.
The Daz was on offer though - but with the 2 of us they literally do last me a year!!Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T

I have a big secured loan which has 9 years to run (pre mse days) all my other things should be done in 24 months if not sooner! I cant wait, hoping to bring the cards sooner but then can put big chunks aside to pay secured loan off early.
Ive had secured loans before and added them to mortgage but I wont do that again!Some people are doom and gloom, I think you have to have a life as well as paying off debt, if I really knuckled down I could pay it off in 12 months but that would mean no treats, no holiday, I dont think I can live like that I have a hard job and I need to feel I benefit from it, it keeps me going and I dont like the kids to do without, it isnt their fault I have debt.0 -
I agree....we are going to be saving chunks aside for the homeowner loan, we borrowed 26 k and with the intrest we only pay a grand a year off lol the scandal but they wouldnt let us get it for the term we wanted so im saving as much as i can to rid myself of them hehehehe..........il not hopefully need any more credit debt apart from a mortgage when we move te he he ........ i think il just save and save and pay chunks i think it will work better for me a drib and drab there i dont feel the benefit ..... my mums going to let us move 2 k next year onto her credit card thats life of balance hopefully we can save 3 k before then and just wipe the rest ourselves a cheaper rate suits me ...... its hard playing the waiting game and its boring as hell !! haha !!! id lik to see a few little things gone before wedding or at least at a manageable rate ..... ie all credit cards below 3 k on each theres only 2 that we need to do that for so thats ok...... hehehehe :P im not going to say how far below because well i dont know how much we can save to do that hehe :P better get sorted going for a reading tonight

A tarot reading Amy?
Love them, I saw a medium and she was so good everything she said happened.I had one child and she said I would have another (I did after 7 years of trying).She said I would beleive it was a girl, I was told that on scan and then had a boy (she said that would happen) and he would have big blue eyes (mine are green) and he has.
She was so correct in the other things she told me Im scared to go again.
Im off to a wedding next week and need to sort out something to wear i may have something in the wardrobe, ive deffo got shoes.Im a bit of an imelda marcos I have literally hundreds of shoes and boots but wear the same ones every day.0
