    DS is not completely MSE yet Lula, he lost £2 of my change yesterday rolling around on the footie park...it fell out of his pocket...sigh...

    Lovely man is quite MSE, a bargain hunter and good at fixing things.... I've just introduced him to mortgage overpaying too :D

    There's a very nice houseboat in Barca, Lula - a snip really at £25K... Actually I could buy it and pay the moorings up front for a year and still have some money left out of equity in flat...mmm...maybe it's something to consider... mind you pesky kid needs to be educated I suppose!

    Right off to check out the up your income board! Had a wee go on Music Magpie yesterday but it was offering me 30p for some dvds :(

    El, it's worth a look, I did send a load of stuff before and got about £20. You can stick the barcodes in and see what they offer - no obligation.

    Well today's plans include a visit to the tip - oh the glamour:D!

    Went out for dinner last night and ate way too much:o so back to healthy eating today and probably a wee visit to the gym.

    September is a horrible month financially, lots of expenses to deal with so will have to be very careful with my money - I do not need any more dresses or boots:D:D...

    Just view it as you taking the glamour there, rather than you going to visit glamour.

    A bit like when the royals visit Hull... ;)
