    Woo Hoo!!

    Well it didn;t take long considering the insurance settled the contents only yesterday.....I have just spent rather a lot of money...and I don;t feel guilty at all :j:o:D

    Was just looking at what gym equipment to buy to replace that which went in the flood..(professional gym quality so not cheap)...and found a quidco gym company (7.5%c/b) offering exactly the models I was looking for on special offer- an exercise bike and an ex demo cross trainer ....plus a free 10% off anything gift voucher with first order.....

    So today I have just ordered the lower value item - exercise bike - plus the voucher.........and as soon as the voucher code comes through I will go through Quidco again getting 7.5% cash back plus 10% discount to order the cross trainer :D:D (assuming its still available)

    Total savings should amount to: £1230 which will pay for the gas man and the tree surgeon...and the cost to me will be recouped over <4 years because I will be saving on exhorbitant gym club membership fees and petrol :D:D

    So now I can start getting off the weight that has been slowly going on since Christmas because of lack of exercise and too much spelt bread/choccie!


    Just one problem......I have space for the bike now....but can't fit in the cross trainer until the piggies vacate the dining room to their summer quarters outside :cool:

    Need to get the boys in to shift some furniture/cages methinks ;).......
