    My only gripe with IKEA is that I really dislike being herded round like cattle in that place. I like their furniture tho (and their cafe!!) so do I allow myself to be herded from time to time.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    I love Ikea stuff too, it's all a novelty to me at the mo as we've had a new store open recently here and we bought a hallway shoe storage the other w/end, is lovely and gives a whole new feel to the hallway. Doesn't look like much in the picture but it's lovely and looks elegant.

    Oooh thank you, absolutely perfect timing! :T :j


    Fab shoe storage. :) Will you have to go and buy more shoes now? :D:D


    Speaking of which, I bought a fab pair of turquoise high heels in the George sale for £6 yesterday. They're a bit too summery for now, but will be lovely next year!

    I've done two coats of paint on the final wall - one more coat to go, but need to nip to Wilkos for another tin of paint, because I've almost run out.

    Feel sooooooooo pleased!! I would love to get it finished tonight, so I can get the glossing done next week and order a carpet for the week after.

    Still to do today (listing on here so I wont forget :)):

    Buy paint
    Finish wall
    Iron
    Put load of washing in
    Put washing in dryer
    Pack for my weekend away
    Pack kids stuff
    Tidy house (wont take long because I've done loads of cleaning and tidying this week
    Wash up
    Vac upstairs
    Epilate :rolleyes:
    Go to the gym (tonight, once kids go to their Dad's)


    No problem.... :o

    Hi confused, if you go onto the snowball calculator at whats the cost. imput all your debts and it should give you a debt free date at the end. Well at least thats how I did mine a few years ago :o

    Hiya Confused - welcome to the daily chat. :wave: You're not interrupting at all, everyone welcome in here. :)

    People use various methods - for some, it's the date of their last loan payment, or they've calculated how long it will take them to pay their cards off based on the amount they can afford to pay each month, or if they are in a DMP (debt management plan), it could be the day that ends. Or you could use the snowball calculator...I will just see if I can find a link for you, back in a few minutes!


    Edit - Pap beat me to it!! :T
