Anglea

Mary, I'm a bit concerned with you even starting - heaven knows what could happen this time - hand stuck in a drawer? LOL Mind you, that's often happened to me because a lot of my drawers are crammed full.

raven33 - well done

I started ages ago, unfortunately lost lots of stuff in the process including a bill - got a reminder!

Mary, we've been looking for normal, cheap, 'no added anything' phones too. I found these pay as you go phones on the Tesco website:

They are all under £15. They have no bluetooth, internet, cameras, mp3 players or anything else confusing!

We'll probably get one of these, just got to decide which one.

Mary - can u stop for 5 minutes and put ur feet up with a cup of tea, we worry about you.

Did start a little bit of decluttering my bedroom, 1 carrier bag of glossies, 1/2 bag shredding, and 1 large bag of rubbish.... thats all I got still looks the same.

Thou I did sort out all my boots bargains, and some xmas prezzies into bags,but came down with the lovely cold, and raving toothache, sods law had toothache on my top left most of the week, weird thing was my friend had 2 teeth taken out Fri on that side, now its the right side.

Was funny just couldn't sleep with it last ngt, so 3am this morning, I'm raiding dads bedside unit for some mini whiskies (keeps them in there for football ngts along with his sweets.... all I got what do you want....what time is it.....its 3am I need Whisky I have toothache, think yourself lucky I brought a torch and not switched the big light on.

Been wondering around with me mini bottle ....

if anyone is looking for a basic phone tesco have loads and also if you go with tesco tarrif they do fab deals i top up £15 quid a month and they treble that for you so i get £30 quid free which lasts we approx 6 weeks whilst using it instead of house fone etc too the £30 pound they top up only lasts a month but then ive usually got the original £15 left to use for next 2 weeks maybe 3 so a bargain and you get te4sco point when you buy your fones and top up.

Hi everyone, been a bit lazy just lately, after all that organising and de-cluttering and ebaying (made over £100) my house looks like a tip!! So about to drag myself up stairs to get ready, then me and hubby are taking kids out for lunch with a 50% discount off MSE, then going to come back and tidy up before going work at half 5, must get up early tomorrow and tidy up even more as got guy coming round to measure lounge for new carpet, then after he's gone, must do paperwork for farm! Blast farm assured and their silly little red tractors!!!

Freezer almost empty, but will need to defrost soon, as ordered half a lamb, and eighth of a cow last night!!

Have a good day everyone and catch up with you all again soon!!

Hello all :j
Nicky - thanks for the phone links.............I like the second one down really because its vodafone and I know it would work. Trouble is it doesn't have a camera and my son sends my photos of grandson through sometimes -plus I was hoping to get to grips with camera part to put photos on craft section..........and I've never had pay as you go before.......would hate to be stuck half way down the A1 and have credit run out :eek:
Oh dear..........there should be one that does just what I want...........phone, text and camera..........thats all -nothing else............what a moaning minnie I am..........nothings ever quite right for grumpy me is it...............lol

Well, got my water colours out this morning intending to do seaview for my son and put it in a coaster for his birthday as he lives on the south coast. Took me an age.......I'm so out of practise..........anyway I did it..........then tried to tackle a beach hut..........well, I'm sure beach huts don't look like mine.............lol:rotfl: That'll be a no-go..............or might start again now I know where I went wrong..........lol
