    I've not heard about the foil and radiators combo, must look into it, my house is always cold!

    Thanks for your thoughts. i will be fine:D, just what comes with doing my course and all the things it puts you through, will be worth it in the end when i am able to help others.

    Have shut the world away anyway:j, so am able to get off the merry go round for today and just do all my lovely things!!

    Regarding the radiator and foil combo, look at this website

  • Hello!

    Gosh I've been gone 5 days and feel like I've got loads to catch up on!!

    I'm out of practice and is going to take me a few days to get back into the right frame of mind!

    It seems to be getting so close to Christmas and there's lots of things to spend money on :(

    So I've got to be all the more careful about it all!

    Today I brought lunch from home and charged my Ipod at work...
    Checked my online balance... I'm confused at what it should be? Still have £40 in there until Pay Day (18th) so that's gotta last!

    I think that I need to spend the next while catching up on the threads....:)

    :wave: Hello Everyone, first time posting on this thread:wave:

    Feel ive had a pretty good DFW day today.
    I have -
    • Bought a breadmaker using my £5 off from Argos so got it for around £18.
    • Cooked half a bag of mince and divided it into 2 meals for me and OH, a chilli for tonight and some bolognaise for tomorrow (padded them out a bit with Kidney beans and carrot)
    • Sewed OHs trousers rather than go out and buy a new pair like I would have done previously.
    • Made some Cranberry muffins for friends who are visitng me rather than buy some.
    • Put £2 in my pot for the sealed pot challenge.
    • Paid £50 each to 2 of my debts.
    Very pleased all in all. Thanks for the other ideas that you guys have given me.

    I did check my online banking today, but the rest of the day was a dismal DF failure....I had to get the supports for the new shelves in the bedroom and also screws and rawlpugs. Whilst I was out I went into Mr T's as well, I needed a couple of things.....and I forgot to get milk ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrr I will do better tomorrow I promise.

    I am waiting for £60 from Lloyds after changing my car insurance in July, it should have been paid in October, but I am still waiting......it was updated from November to December........wish it would come through.
