    Do you have a sort of time scale for when you're hoping to go? I think I asked this before but do you have jobs up there lined up?

    Hi Dinah, NIM and all the other regulars!!

    I am a serial lurker and I have been reading your other thread for months when I have a quiet moment at work! I havent got to the end of this one yet!

    I just wanted to say how amazing you are Dinah! You truely are an inspiration! Well done on being debt free, now we want to see you with a mortgage and paying that off! DH & I still have a long way to go before we are debt free, but we will get there, its only now I realise how expensive having 7 kids is:D.

    Well done!!
  • Dinah, have you ever had any 'mystery shopping' payments refused?

    7 kids?! Wow I'm impressed. NIM would never let me have that many, sounds like a rewarding life though.

    NIM has had one refused TPA, he went to the wrong shop! I'm waiting one of mine might be refused as they insist there was an electrical counter in the store and I asked and they said there wasn't!

    Birdie Birdie! - http://www.clairepettibone.com/bridal/?cp=gowns/romantique I think they put it in the tumble drier! Saying that there are some lovely frocks on there, louise, yolanda, miranda, and mystere.... best not to ask how I ended up browsing for big white dresses!

    Aargh, so sorry to hear about NIM. Glad he's okay, tho.

    Hey Birdie

    I don't think I want the full length wedding dress and I saw this gorgeous little 50s number in the dress shop in the same building as my work. Would you think about a wedding dress that's just cropped a bit?

    It seems a shame to go so far away from your lovely DOTDs.

    I am upping the ante on the MSE front, and will *definitely* be listing those Swarovski crystals on ebay tonight! I got 2 extra days in work next month which is cool. I plan to save a set amount out of my wages each month, and when all is added up I'm only £700 down, so that's £5 a day from May - September. Ebay here I come ....
