    Ahhh, glad it was OK. Like I say, I've not found anything in the Boots expert range that hasn't been good so far! :D

    sorry been a bit awol - OH turned up unexpectedly!

    Darwin broke down on a main road in the dark on a bend - trying to explain to someone in deepest darkest englandshire where Orkney was etc - was a bit of a laugh - and we also ended up with the police stopping - phoning the local AA folks who do the contract and helping loads

    :)

    HOpe you're all well - and being spoiled today xx

    Catch you soon!

    yay to your OH turning up unexpectedly!!!!
    sorry to hear about Darwin but well done to the policeman.

    we spent lots yesterday - new bed! and got 0% credit for it. It still scares me, i've applied for credit for the first time since i started this journey and now i've increased my debt for the first time (well ok that's melodramatic cos the money is there in the baby savings account and it doesn't look like we'll be needing that for a while)

    LT - You may need baby savings earlier than you think once the new bed arrives!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    OH NO! Poor Darwin! Hope he recovers well, and cheaply!
    Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700

    2020 the year of less - Less debt, less waste, less spending, less stuff, less stress!
  • Hello LT

    Well done on a new bed!

    Peedie has lifted a sleepy head from the fire to nod hello!

    I need to think money again soon - got to get my butt in gear

    Gargamel has his money back in him
    DS now has a savings account online which is getting my PAD's (that's where they went to!)
    Must post on small things and check bank

    Got a roast on for later - and as the oven is a bit dodgy at the moment (not getting up past 200oF - so its a slow roast, veggies are done etc

    Yum yum - need to crank open the sewing machine and start on darwins curtains as he has 2 rails up now :)

    2 to go and he'll be grand - of course thats if he ever moves again - typical eh I spent yesterday cleaning him out and washing him down, new covers into him, cups, plates, hot chocolate at the brough of birsay yesterday before we broke down!

    i reckon Darwin is in shock if you did all that to him before he broke down, that's what would happen to my car if i sorted it out :)
    Just realised that as off my next pay day i will have paid back £30k!!!!!!!!! it's scary to think just how much that is and how much i have left to go.
  • LT -- wow!!!!! Seriously wow!

    Darwin - alternator problem - its not charging the battery - so he need s a new one we're 99% sure

    :) exhausted been picking up willow in the field all morning - OH away home on the hairy plane.......

    Got a few bills to pay this week need to sit down and do 'serious' money thinking.

    Argh - :( fuel bills gone up for the oil heating - they want an extra 400 or so and to increase the DD from 100 to 130
