Comments

That sounds so nice Pepe...I would love to do something like that but there's the small thing of 8st to lose and the osteoarthritis..how exciting.
Bob ..great news re: the car...fantastic news and Mr Bob is really taking it seriously now...hallelujah!!!!!...I'm proud of him and so happy for you.
If I didn't have to have a car then I wouldn't but my customers would sure complain..perhaps I need a rickshaw...lol...
You're plans are coming together now and perhaps you'll not need to worry so much.0 -
Whichever one you chose Pepe it all sounds good...*sighs* jealously.
Well only bit of news to report on is that my Tesco voucher's have come..woohoo..I was getting worried some postie was clinking a glass on me for a moment there.:o
I have also been offered a balance of life transfer from Halifax when i rang up to close the account down..hmm, do i put any of Mr.B's stuff on?:cool: I am sure folks will think i am horrible saying that, but i have bailed him out loads in the past...suppose it is because i am the kind of person who wants everything sorted and running well...and then i know i will kick myself in the butt later:o
Am also weary today , so am just going to veg out and watch telly when i have hoovered.
Avon box came today as well and bargains were to be had..thanks to tip on skintys thread, plus money back off quidco:T
Hope everyone's weekend is a good one.

I would say no bob cos it sounds like that lightbulb is flickering for mr bob and despite additional cost would be a shame to switch it off me thinks?

mmmm..that's an hard one.I guess it's what you feel comfortable with.If you usually end up paying his debts and this makes things cheaper and easier for you and he's not going to run the debts up again then I'd say go for it.0

Sounds good on relationships and on debtbusting, Bob. I didn't do qype, only heard about it yesterday and I was too tired - but I did end up getting an Amazon fiver from bingoport, or I ordered it anyway. Been playing with Toluna surveys a bit this morning - 5000 points or so in it, but they're absolutely mad, they're posted by other members who are, shall we say, distressingly bad spellers. As you say - this is what our life has come to!
Those Tesco things are annoying for people who don't have cars, grrr ... if I bought that amount of stuff, I'd have to use a taxi, which would cost me much more, and its not useable at Tesco.com. Grrrrr.
Rant over. I actually *am* having a good one!2023: the year I get to buy a car0
