    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I've not posted on here for ages but I am still trying to be DFW most of the time and stick to the small changes to make ;)
    • Had a NSD!
    • Made soup out of HM stock and dried pulses x portions for work lunch and freezing
    • Played free scratchie
    • Used up practically OOD mackeral for lunch (instead of chucking out) rest for work tomorrow, packed up in fridge ready
    • Used beetroot in above salad I roasted earlier in the week (instead of chucking out as usual :o )
    • Had basics chocolate mousse for tea last night instead of buying a fancy expensive dessert
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    Sorry to hear about the car Lurlene but glad you managed to salvage the day and still have a good time.
    I had just cancelled my never used breakdown policy when we managed to be involved in an accident on the motorway, a tow to a breakdown depot and 3 days storage until car was scrapped cost me £270:eek::eek: Needless to say I am now well covered in case it ever happens again.:o

    PS I agree with T - riding in a breakdown truck is fab :)

    Ouch! What an expensive lesson. :eek:

    So sorry Lurlene, hope the car is fixable!!

    My DH is a roadside patrol (for the yellow ones, as opposed to the oranges ones, iyswim ;)) & the surcharges for joining "on the spot", ie when you are already broken down, are quite scary. Cannot recommend enough to have breakdown cover!!!

    And yes, he is a very nice man. Oh a very very nice man. What a nice man. :rotfl::rotfl:
