I am having quite a productive day so far, i posted on the motoring forum as i had a back wiper that had stopped working, me having no tecnical knowledge at all was going to take it to a garage, some kind person on here told me to remove the cover and tighten the nut and it worked!!!!!

Makes you wonder what a garage would of said and how much,

Flippin rain!!!! Grrrrr and cant do baking yet as have no stork left waaaaaah. Thankfully the pie is made, had enough to make a pie top. No veg to go with pie (though peas and onions in it) so will be some slightly sprouting new potatoes and some yorkies that are lurking in freezer. Will do the yorkies when the oven is on for baking, save leccy.

I read mbazs old £20 on groceries for the month challenge, really inspiring! Im not sure I could manage!

Ooo oooo oooo I got an email today to say that I have been shortlisted for a job, fingers crossed I get an interview!

Hi to NewlyFrugalMumof3:D and any other new posters:D

Just come back from costco - went for oldies at work. They were selling off some 3 1/2 lb bags of lovely dried tropical fruit and nuts for £1.95 a bag so picked a couple up for DD and OH for snacks - usually pay about £10 for these so very happy. :j Now split into 50 small snack bags and in bottom of fridge:D

Lovely sunshine weather decided to disappear and turn to hail, rain and snow for an hour sun is back shining again now though.
Have made a loaf in breadmaker and some flapjacks in remoska for DD:D have been given a dozen lemons this morning so hoping to make some lemon curd later time permitting.
Also started some more mung beans off in sprouter for sandwiches/salads and stirfries.
Quite a productive day so far:j :j

Hi Guys,

I havent been able to post for the last few days as I've been in loads of pain. Been to the Drs.I've got arthritis in my hip....im 27!!!!

I have had a letter from the debt people offering me a settlement discount...... £3000 to clear a £4400 debt, I can only scrap together £2200, as I have been saving to clear with a settlement discount.
I have offered them £2200 and will find out on monday if they accept. Worth a try I guess :rolleyes:
