    Oh wow Jen thats fab. :beer:

    Coolio MM. I have bits and bobs that I can sell, but none that will do well on ebay if you know what I mean.

    Just done my Tesco online shop. The delivery charge cost me £3.50. Thats less than a taxi (would cost me £1.50 to get there by bus and nearly £6 back by Taxi!).

    Thanks MM. I had a look but the only one I could find was you have to order over £50 and I dont tend to spend that much. Well i could order loads of chocolate i suppose. :D

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hiya guys, just been reading your thread, :beer:
    Loads of things I want now, but stuck in cheapskate mode for so long now, lost the spending habit:confused: :eek:

    Here's my I want now list:-

    1 UPVC patio doors (council wont let me have then say's I have to use wood as it's a listed building, but the back has been ruined anyway by builders when they converted to flats):mad:

    2 New kitchen (it's falling apart):mad:

    3 New bathroom (it's prehistoric):eek:

    4 To have the flat to myself:mad:

    5 To see my grandson everyday (instead of once every 10wks s*din job)

    6 to travel (before I'm too old):eek:

    7 To work normal hrs or not at all (I'm a live-in-carer, but I would prob get bored :confused: well maybe after a couple of years, I've never done it):rotfl: :rotfl:

    8 Getting the euro lotto THIS friday would solve all this and more, but I'm not holding my breath:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks for letting me get this off my chest guys and good luck to you all in whatever you plan xx
