    What a nice way to start page 103! Who would have thought it?!!!

    Ebay is going bl00dy fantastic!!! Barbour jacket is currently at £149 and my watch is at £102 so completely burst my £200 target (that is if the bugg@rs pay that is!!!). Still 3 days or so to go, plus the other items are doing well. Just wait til I get going.............

    Feeling really rather positive today - BBC confirmed UK filming will be 23rd and 24th February, so desperately trying to finish all the DIY in the house before the valuations (well strictly speaking I am not.............but have delegated this to my delightful and handy husband ;)). Good news is we have all the materials we need, so cost should be minimal, and have roped in all hubby's tradesmen friends to help get it all finished!!

    Ordered and paid for son's Holy Communion buffet from M&S for 12th May. Should point out this is courtesy of Valued Opinions and £40 of M&S vouchers earned and left over from Christmas :D. This left me the princely sum of £2.00 to pay - no joke, I was ACTUALLY gutted.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ordered his kilt for the Communion also but had to pay for this with real money:p.

    Having a nice little garden party rather than hire out an expensive hall, and having friends and family round to ours. BOB invites will be going out (Bring Own Bottle) ;). Can't believe how much money some people are spending on parties and the like. They probably have more debt than I started with :D.

    PS Anyone else used Martin's code for a free Valentines card? My hubby phoned me today to say he knows I love him, but he received 3 identical Valentines cards from that company!! I think perhaps they need to be a bit more MSE!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    One of my bank shifts has been cancelled for March, never mind, plenty of time for some colleagues to come down with something nasty.

    Don't think badly of me, I've got bills to pay!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just to verge on the ridiculous have transferred the Quidco £50 which should hit the bank by the end of the week to the savings. Shortly followed by a transfer of £0.16 generously donated by Paypal (the two amounts they send you to verify your bank account :D).

    Who says I'm not a committed moneygrabber (oops saver):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That sounds mighty impressive. How do Aussie dollars equate to pounds sterling?
