Andan - go to the botanic gardens as well (well I would say that wouldnt I???? I studied there) its fantastic, beautiful and free - worth a stroll around if you get some time (glass houses cost though so don't go in there).

Otherwise enjoy, edinburgh is so beautiful - will be there as well in a couple of weeks - you should be there when the continental xmas market is there, on princes street it will be beautiful, wonderful mulled wine etc - worth a stroll just to take in the ambience. Will def get you in the mood for xmas, and of course John Lewis should have thier tree up - which is also awesome xxxx

Hey managed to get a gift card as a refund for my things that were over the 30days!!! Better still I resisted the temptation to buy in Burtons (my Favourite shop) with a little help from my GF. Will now use the gift-card to sort Christmas presents. My GF will buy stuff she needs with it too and give me the cash for my debts!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for the advice re Edinburgh, have sent my mate the details and have several things lined up now. Am loving the Chrismtas market idea, so will defo take that in.

Patrickz, great news about taking the clothes back and that you got a gift card, it will all help with the debts.

Good result partickz:T :T better than having stuff stuck in the house not being used and will help you with xmas like you said.
Hope it wasn't as scary as you were expecting taking the stuff back:D

Thanks Andan. Even though I only live about 40minutes from Edinburgh, I have never actually been!! Being a West coast boy all my life I have never really left Glasgow as I could not stand 'salt and sauce' with my chips!:rotfl:

I always get nervous in situations like that. Probably why I have a law degree but never made it in the world of law- I lack confidence in the simplest of situations yet at other times can appear really confident (verging on arrogant some might say!!!!!!). PS. My GF did the talking in the shop

Evening everyone!!

Today I have

• Done all my paperwork decluttering
• Cleaned my car myself - rather than taking to the hand car wash - saving £6.00
• Sorted out my 2 DS's toys - 2 bags to go to school for xmas fair, 1 bag of rubbish/broken toys!
• Online banking
• Got £45 off my brother - as I've got some xmas pressies for him
• Only used dryer for towels - rest on radiators
• Washed clothes for ebay sales due to end tonight!
• Store cupboard lunch & am now going to cook tomorrow night's dinner (lasagne - mince wasn't defrosted in time to have it today!)

Think that's about enough!! Do need to do some ironing but will probably do this tomorrow night instead! Kids uniforms etc are all ironed and laid out for tomorrow.
