    Can't you complain to Orange they have sent you a duff price?

    You can get lcd monitors on eBay quite cheap, 15" were going for £10-£20 but they are second hand.

  • Just read about your win Jen - well done!!

    I really need to wash my hair but I have zero energy to do it... grrr. Might have a cuppa and then force myself to do it.

    Hope you're all having more eventful weekends that me :p

    Morning everyone, it's a bit cold this morning but I'm hoping it will warm up nicely like it did yesterday. I hope you manage to sell all of your extra tv's Jen... I bought a waistcoat thing last weekend when I thought I had to dress up properly for work, but I can do without it so I'm going to get it refunded which will be another £12 in the bank...

    I know this might sound like a bit of a strange question, but does anyone know where I could get a cheap dog jacket to fit a giant breed dog? One of the dogs keeps chattering his teeth and I think he's starting to feel the cold, so as we can't really afford the heating (we'll probably put it on if it snows, lol!) I think he could do with one.
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    Evening all anyone about?

    I have had a busy day, went into town this morning and paid in £200 in £2 coins to one bank then took it all out in notes to pay into the cash counting machine at HSBC and i now have enough money in there to clear my loan wooohoooo so Monday i shall be making that call!

    Then worked at charity shop for 5 hours and came home went for a nap and just got up as didn't sleep well last night.

    I am planning to have a look round for some cashback deals to invest some of the money that was going into the ISA (which opened today too) to earn some more interest before it goes in ;)
