HI Firefox

I havent caught up on your diary in a very long time, and got a bit of a shock when I popped in just now. You seem to be in reasonable spirits which I great and Noah sounds great. Good to have company I would imagine

Patchy is our mog, and I have to say he's acting like a teenager at the moment, only comes home to eat and sleep so he would be no use!!

Good to have you back, Kirsten! :A

Today's spending £9.50 on a Dragonfly cat toy from eBay, £7 on a prescription (£5 Love2Shop voucher), £3.50 in M&S on snacks, £5.50 in WHSmith on stamps and Chocolate Oranges (half price, a gift).

Still have quite a lot of vouchers/ credits to use up - £5 Maximuscle code plus £6 on account, £40 on account at Amazon, £3 Luncheon vouchers, £5 off £30 spend at Morrisons/ Tesco. :beer: I can guess out the next £5 Arovit code, and if I sign my mum up I will get another printable £5 voucher off Hills!!

I saw a really cool toy that hangs off the door, for when you arent in to swing it about i imagine! the cat in the picture sure enjoys it!!

My cat wont play with me lol hes such a bore!! But he slept in his own bed for the first time in months last night, hes usually far too busy to come home lol, must have had a tiff with the cat next door!!

I've just checked internet banking to see if I have been paid, and it's £200 more than usual but no idea why. :j Tomorrow I need to make an effort to sort the landline and net connections out. Really need to ring both banks about my debit cards, and Orange as my deal has finished!

Scottish Power want to put my direct debit up to £43 a month from £34, so have read the meter but it was higher than the estimate. :mad: No heating for me this winter! Debating buying a single electric blanket to put on my sofa (£15 from Amazon) instead of the £10 heated bed I saw in Pets at Home. Really need some thermal curtains for my living area too ...

Decided to order £59 of products from Maximuscle - two boxes of my usual protein bars (BOGOHP), two boxes of flapjacks (BOGOF) which I haven't ever tried. Once again the £6 discount from my last order hasn't appeared AND the £5 voucher code doesn't work. :rolleyes: Their customer service is excellent so have e-mailed again, but only have until the end of the month to order these items at this price and with the code!

Grr to Scottish Power hike,

was with them, then changed to Southern Electric about a year ago. I pay my bills quarterly, but used to be on prepayment meters so have kept up the weekly saving habit which is great - better in my account than theirs

Eon are currently chasing me for business & have an online scheme whereby you manage the direct debits yourself. I'm happy where I am for now & the units are cheaper but you do get Tatco clubcard points & about 22% discount ( if online, direct debit & dual fuel) according to todays sales person. Might be worth checking it out.

Just had my online gas bill & it's £70 for the last quarter & I dont like to live in arctic conditions.
