We want to see spreadsheets and graphs for this mind...

No chance! Don't want to be shouted at for having an iphone and gym membership:p and they're staying! Had a wee wander round OS yesterday and was surprised at some of the nastieness on there - was that not the gentle cuddly board?

Just found out I will be getting almost £100 from quidco in next payment:j :j was expecting to have to take money from savings to pay cc bill but might just squeeze through without doing that - bill huge due to buying things for flat which is what savings were for so not pretty shoes honest!

People will moan at you for an iphone because they're not value for money, (and you have to charge them every hour) not because you have a spreadsheet...

And the gym membership *only* if you don't use it. (see previous comment about not being value for money)

"And I am unanimous in that!"

No, this always was. OS is/was a lesser bitchy board than most. It would be sad if that has gone.

I love mine and usually charge it at work, you do have to charge it daily but only if going on t'internet and using apps, on holiday using only for texts it stayed charged for ages. and you can check into places on the quidco app thus earning some money;)

I can't be accused of not using it, slightly obsessed:o...

Maybe I was just unlucky in the threads I picked but there seemed to be a lot of point scoring and b!tching.

It's all dull stuff, which reminds me - must go pay my road tax...

Just remembered january will need tweeking once I find out what damage the strike causes...

Off to cinema with DS this afternoon in an attempt to get myself a bit of the Christmas spirit:D

Value for money. Just so long as you don't harm yourself.

Find your gross daily wage, then half it and add a fiver. You won't be far wrong.

Just saying that it only needs charging as much as a normal phone if using for normal phone stuff.

I won't.

OK, thanks have done and added a wee bit just in case and taken off that wage, I hope to be pleasantly surprised...

That said I've just been watching Jamie cooking lots of lovely spanish food in the sunshine so not sticking with that theme:rotfl::rotfl:

I must admit, I have no idea what to buy people this time around. Used all my good ideas previous years. Probably chocolate and shower stuff...

No, keep with the sunshine as long as possible. Apparently this year is going to be the snowy apocalypse.

However this may be the seventh year in a row the Met Office has got the forecast wrong - we'll just have to wait and see.

You know you're skint when...you decide to change hairstyle to something that could get away with less frequent cutting! Yes, off to get mine cut in a bit and I'm dyeing it myself this time and going a wee bit longer

I SHALL ebay something this weekend... and maybe have a wee look on music magpie despite the fact they seemed rather stingy last time I tried.

Also I shall get to the gym and do some DIY - have been a lazy moo (not feeling great honest) and let things slip a bit.

I am also attempting to catch up with the washing, wondering why if DS has been doing social dancing this week and till xmas that I still seem to be washing his kit? he must stick it in his bag out of habit, we shall be having words!

I was wondering where you were. I was going to lure you out with some more Comedy Property !!!!!! or ComProPor as it's called...

I hope this is just Christmas skintness and not the start of some other problem.

I hated it. I have the same sense of grace and rhythm as a wildebeest stampede...
