The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

Thanks Poolie, thats very kind of you. Where are those tickets from (ie website, not station!) Are they likely to get cheaper or more exepsnive nearer the time?

Went and got a quote for getting some pictures framed today - £45 for each A4 and £95 for the big A1 size!!!!!!! I'd be paying out over £700 to get all the pictures I want framed, framed!

why do people stop their cats having kittens, is there a medical reason for it?

As Poolie says, because then you'll have 6 cats you have to either keep, find homes for, or put in a shelter, and there's already a surplus of cats in those as we know. Plus having them neutered stops the toms spraying all over tha house and makes them less aggressive, and speying stops the queens from squealing like banshees all night when they're on heat, because they want to go out and get a good rodgering off the toms!

we need to make some kind of anti climb device for the tree

They don't work - Dad's got all sorts of booby traps set up around the perimeter of our garden to stop other cats getting in and they still manage.

Cinny - never been to West Auckland but OH is Durham born and bred so I text him and his reply said "West Auckland? What does she want to go there for? There's nothing there" and suggested you might try Barnard Castle as a nearby alternative

ETA (because you can't multiquote page to page) -

NIM has got us free entry to the wedding fair this Sunday, which is good as I forgot we needed £6 to get into that!

Aww, see, he's a little MSE when he wants to be!

Forgot to say Wendz, well done! Does that mean only another £500 til it's gone?!

Before we got Push I was looking for a kitten, a lady at work put some up on the intranet (I know, should have gone to a home but I didn't think of it) and when I called her an hour after she put the ad up all 7 kittens had gone!!!! Eventually want one more cat and a doggie (not a big one though!)

Flower08

I would love to get a kitten and puppy at the same time so that they would live together happily. Would love another cat now, but just wouldnt be fair on our cat as i know she wouldnt be happy at all!

Tickets will get more expensive the longer you leave it. Basically they only offer cheaper fares for a set number of seats on the train (as I found out once when booking the sleeper from Glasgow to london - OH got the lat £29 fare and I ended up paying £80)

www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com is the best place on the web and no booking fees. No need for quidco on this one.

Congrats Flower! I liked being a Stalwart. I like the word Stalwart.
