Tonight OH and I are going to the gym to have a look around, but should still be back by 8pm. So, going to see if we can get this into a rhythm, he does surveys and STP and his scratchies, I do Dooyoo and my scratchies and onepoll. And I have that MS phone call tonight, and report to fill in, that had to be rearranged from last night. WILL stop at 10pm tonight though so can have a little time reading or something. Also going to try to get a leg up on the MS today and do a dooyoo review for my brownies on my lunchbreak as not going to the bank to put my £20 birthday cheque in with all this snow!

*edit* got another MS supermarket for Sunday, same type of assesment as Thursday but a different branch, if I could get a meal for then too would be exstatic!

I can't believe how well everything is going for you and NIM! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Good luck with your quest to save up for deposit too, I can't even think about saving that much money, it seems totally beyond me!

Re the Anne Frank annexe, I want to go now so may try to drag BF at some point on a weekend away and 'accidentally' end up there! I'm enjoying the book, she does come across as a bit bratty but I think anyone would living under the circumstances that she was. When I was younger I was a bit of a history nerd (I wanted to be a historian until I did GCSE and A Level history that sucked the fun out of the subject for me!) and l'm quite surprised that I never really fancied reading Anne Frank but I was more into Horrible Histories and big factual books with pictures!

Showing off with your snow and fully MS compatible NIM, all I have is a IYL (idle yorkshire lad) who seems to shut down when I bring up MS. He had a little stint of selling on play.com, going on pureprofile and cash back sites but that's long gone!

Birdie - it's completely worth the visit! I had a mass pile of those horrible histories too - they were great - I think I still have a couple somewhere. We have a holocaust centre nearby which I really want to go to this summer. A morbid/curious part of me want's to visit Auschwitz too, but I don't think I could.

I thought the Irish were notorious tea-lovers? Look at Father Ted! Love that - house broodiness. If your parents are on a DMP surely they'd welcome a bit of extra board from NIM??

Problem is they only ask enough to cover food, they don't want to ask for more as they don't want to profit off any of us, but in OH's words he would rather the money went to them than a stranger. I've heard of a lot of parents who take the money in rent then actually save it towards their kids house/wedding fund - personally i think this would be win win as I know it bothers mum that they won't be able to pay for my wedding when i get married, this way they could put the extra rent into a savings account and they would still be able to hold their heads up and give their daughter away, without actually having to find the extra money from anywhere. But don't think this would occur to them, and can't see a way I could suggest it.

Eek, I've just given a 'somewhat useful' rating on dooyoo, stating that the review isn't actually about the product named ... I'm scared! Everyone else gave V useful but even the spelling and grammar were shocking!

I've done that before, was reviewing something else in the same range, I suggested they suggested the correct product to dooyoo. Don't think I got revenge rated

Eeek would be 3 years Cinny from 15k in debt to nice house with substantial deposit! And a sexy NIM on my arm! That would be uber impressive!

I'm just lucky Flower, NIM is naturally quite careful with money, and he's very keen to show his parents he can be financially independant and not a screw up without their help. MS is a great way to get them started, especially the meals or the phone calls, you can't quite believe someone is paying you for going on a date or making a 5 min enquiry from the comfort of your sofa!

Still can't believe he's here permenantly, it's amazing him being there when I wake up, on an evening, and not having to try to cram things in, if we end up doing it next week, so be it.

Silvadebtfree - nice to meet you - must have taken you days to read up until this point by now!

I'm gonna start a campaign - Every Woman deserves a NIM!

Cinny my Grandma went to Auschwitz a couple of years ago and it gave her nightmares, I still want to go though, especially after reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

I haven't been revenge rated yet Dinah, TBH I don't think this one realised you're supposed to rate them anyway so might get away with it.

As for your Every Woman Deserves a NIM, not for me thanks, happy as I am He's not a MSE but he is wonderful

Ugh, right off to my training for the afternoon...

On dooyoo I've noticed a lot of people posting half hearted/badly spelt reviews. I think it's people just doing it for the voucher rather than taking the time ect. I doubt they'll revenge rate you if they're new to it.

If OH reads this he'll think all I do here is moan about him! I will just add he is a very strapping young lad, he buys me chocolate when I'm in a terrible mood and didn't complain when I dragged him to see 'undressing Mr Darcy' or a play on the Womens vote.

You're not the only one with an IYL! Mine's even called Rich too which is freaky! That said, idle and MS-useless as he is I wouldn't swap him for a NIM! I just have to encourage him to have your NIM's MS traits!

I know it's odd but I want to visit Auschwitz as well. A few years ago I went to France with my parents and we went a prison/work camp there. I can't remember the name but it was where the Germans built the A bomb (I think! I'd make a useless tour guide!). It was really spooky, there weren't even any animals there.

Does anybody fancy harassing my solicitors for me? They won't talk to me today and I'm getting fed up of talking to their voicemail, we've made quite the connection! LOL!

I think a lot of men are great, but as a rule they tend to be skittish with money. They all have a failing somewhere, and a little unconcerned with money I could probably live with, reckless with it I could not. But having NIM on the same page as me regarding money does make things a hundred times easier. I think NIMs only failing is not really his, but the fact that his family make me feel like a very dreary harlot!
