    The dishwasher is finally on its way out, so brought a new Bocsh one from Argos yesterday for just under £235. Went through Quidco, so got a bit of money back. Could have got a cheaper one, but didn't recognise the name and it didn't have the extras (rinse aid fill up reminder and salt fill up reminder) that I wanted. So all in all I'm happy. Just got to pay the credit card off now.
    Don't worry mm I'm 39 (the big 40 this year) so I feel really ancient!!
    May - £251.63/£155, June - £108.69/£150, July - £157.45/£155, Aug - £104.28/£155
    Sept - £110.80/£150, Make £5 a day in Oct challenge = £50.50/£155

    I haven't had that many reviews on dooyoo, then again I am new to it so don't expect many at the moment. Am up to my first 5000 point though.

    Afternoon everyone, I'm trying to have a productive day... I've just paid for my car insurance, and I've arranged my MOT online for next week. I managed to get it at an independent place and it has only cost me £10! I feel like the happiest person in the world lol.

    If there is anyone else in the South East they have quite a few centres, and someone mentioned the one I'm going to (albeit I noticed after I'd booked it) on this forum, so I think they are genuinely good. This is the link http://www.justmots.eu/
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    afternoon all,

    A poo start to the year for me. My speedo dials lights went last week, i was hoping it would be the bulbs but replaced them and they still dont light up. So its the circuitboard on back of speedo that has gone wrong. I have two choices buy a 2nd hand speedo off ebay...theres one on there that has done 66,000 miles and my car has done 63,000. So i could wait until my car has done 66 then replace it. Or send off my speedo for them to repair the circuitboard,takes 3 days and mileage stays the same. But i have to pay postgae both ways and repair.

    At the mo speedo on ebay is only £10 no bids, but this could change as chavs love to buy them as they have white dials in them.

    Cars can be such a pain!

    CL- £10 for an MOT!!! what a bargin! I thought they had to charge £40 plus!
    Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:j
    Weekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/175

    My PC monitor is dying too, have to turn it on and off on the screen about five times to get it to work now. Works fine when on. Its out of warranty though so i will probably be spending another £100 on a new one! :rolleyes: I am not going to be saving much this month i don't think!
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month

    Well managed to NOT buy anything in JL today - but looks like we'll be spending about £700... *sigh* Basically on a Maxi Cosi car seat and isofix base, then there is the iCandy buggy and the attachment for it to allow baby to lie flat... and weeeeee we're looking at the business end of £700 :eek: Need to speak to my father and find out just how much he was planning on contributing to the buggy (he's saying he wants to pay for it but I feel bad getting him to pay over £300 just for the buggy!!!! )
    Have loads of links to stuff I can write reviews for on dooyoo - I basically went through the people who had rated my reviews and had a look at what they had reviewed... got loads of ideas from that! Saved a bunch of links for later and wrote a couple of reviews and saved them for posting on a quiet day like you told me :D
    Also marked some reviews in return :)
