You can come round and clean it then :rotfl:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Sent a message to Nescafe earlier via their website - all Nescafe Collection 100g coffees, including my Alta Rica, have been recalled due to possible glass contamination :eek:. According to my DD 10,000 jars have been recalled. I had 2 jars bought on offer before I went on holiday, both unopened :mad:.

Also prize from Closer mag - anto-ageing serum, shoukd fetch £5 on ebay(I don't need it, being so youthful myself :rotfl:)

Fantastic kitchen and at a good price well done for sticking to the budget. Don't worry too much about the mortgage challenge stuff all of a sudden you will be ahead. Don't blame you for giving up MS they really don't earn you much I am only doing nice ones (food and stuff from shops I actually want) plus work pay all my petrol (well I am taxed on it) so might as well use it. I did do a nice one £45 for opening a 2nd current account now that was worth doing.
Take care and keep up the good workSave £12k in 25 No 49

Thanks TG. I looked at the MS v carefully but with my pay rise I pay 40% tax so it really wasn't worth while. When you look at a certain petrol station job I used to do, £5 pay and £5 spend. £1.99 on coffee, remainder on anything so £3 of taxable benefit, and bearing in mind that what I bought would probably cost only £2 in a supermarket, and I'd be taxed on it at 40%, it really wasn't worth it.
What I will be doing though is making good use of my extra time. So, starting to shop around - today I spent just under £7 in Lidl on fruit & veg, priced it on mysupermarket at £5 more in Tesco :eek:, so will be paying that to mortgage.
Thought of some extra columns to add to spreadsheets so off to do that while watching England attempt to beat USA :eek:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Ha, so much for England beating the USA.... and Algeria :mad:.
Warning random thoughts:
Bl**dy freezing yesterday :eek:, had winter boots & sweatshirt on (which now fits), seriously thought about putting gloves on
Sat night on own + 2 vodkas + ebay is not a good combination :eek:. And I have increased bids on some items since, hopefully won't win any :rotfl:.
Still, 4 items I have listed have bids(so that will pay the postage on what I'm bidding on
)
DS cut grass & managed to break window with a flying stone :cool:. Can I get my act together to sort out getting it fixed? Can I heck.
Need to sort out freezers & make a list of meals I could make :A.
Monarch flights for next year on sale, from & to my preferred airports. Easter is late & May Day hol on 2nd - got flights for £90 each, 11 nights away for 4.5 days leave :j. OH going back before me so I'll have 3 nights on my own, which I'm pleased about, I love it there on my own. Also booked week with friend for June :T. Won't be booking any more at present, will be going back to Gambia in Jan & supposed to be going NY & LV at end of year, not sure how many days that will take (although OH hadn't quite realised that NY & LV isn't just a long weekend
). Feel better with something booked
.
Am waiting on washing to dry (on the line :A) so I can take extra ironing to cleaner.
Nice man stopped me as I was going into garage & said 'that's a lovely top love, really pretty'. Felt v chuffed, as if I'd knitted it myself :rotfl:. Was a Next top, £2 from charity shop, but it is very nice (& fits lovely as long as I don't sit down
). So, if nice man is reading this :kisses3:.
Hope all enjoying weekend.
