    no, the map they had drawn was a wee bitty deceptive and it was right next too really rough area not so near to okish area that appeared on the map - still you live and learn:rolleyes:! also have seen a couple of nice houses that are probably better value for money and in this town... code for - I am scrimping and saving and this place will be ready to sell sooner rather than later... was aiming for end of May but going to try and drag this forward a bit;)!

    Re puppy -I suppose it's better she only has to go into vets once rather than go back twice.

    I think I'm at £41.52 - all got very complicated when I realised I had to put DS's lunch money aside at the same time!

    Not bad though so I have:

    Bingo: £100 (thanks Hypno)
    Sealed tin/piggy bank: £41
    Ebay so far: £10

    I should also get about £20 from quidco at the end of the month but we'll not count on that...

    it's quite nice how it all adds up - I had no idea there was that much in the tin:D.

    Am aiming even earlier Beanie but will see how it goes! I'm going by the theory that it's always good to push yourself a bit... would love to be all sorted and moved before school hols though (end of jun to non-scots).

    Got a warning message from Direct Line yesterday about severe weather so fingers crossed it's not too bad tonight... Still have a pond under the trampoline though:rotfl::rotfl:.

    ***WARNING*** if you have a sealed tin, after opening it do not however compelled you might feel try to tidy money away into it again... just back from hospital with some nice paper stitches and big bandaged finger:o... what a plonker I am...
