snaggles that's hilarious the fact i am rather big had me in stitches i couldnt get enough plants to fill one lol....

z i've heard the chimineas are great a few friends have them they love them ...but they're a bit out of our price range hence the brazier idea but i have seen a fire pit that i just loved the look of but it was even dearer (is that a word)

Yep that is a word - fire pits are often made with copper - don't ask me why... That makes them expensive.

....i dont think the brazier would keep you too warm and i think it would burn out pretty quick if i had the money it would be a fire pit though...and i doubt it very much if that helped at all sorry

Nope - has helped - I shall look to the chimnea side of things...

well today i got up thinking all dfw thoughts so went into martins advice bit and read up on the contents insurance bit ..then went to work i didnt realise i could cancl my contents straight away so i phoned nationwide and checked if there were any penalties to pay turns out there wasnt ..so went back through it all and got a quote from more than (well i did get loads just they were the cheapest) then checked quidco ..low and behold quidco are giving £85 for taking out cover (till april 30th only) ..so i got it i have went from nearly £400 a year to including quidco £130 saved a fortune to put it mildly ..yippee as bunny would say money is coming easily to meeeeeeeeeee.....so thank you martin saved me a packet....now what else can i try and save on lol

Snaggles

Not bad for a morning's work! It's amazing what savings you can make by shopping around. I can never get quidco to work for me, but that's probably cos I'm a bit thick lol!

well the day just got worse had hubby on the phone ...he went to the dentist and was told it would be £100 to fix the problem but could make him sick and it might not work or he could go to an orthodontist and pay £1,000 ...he has a cross overlap (or something) going on in his mouth ...the way i understand it is he has this flap of gum (or something) at the back of his mouth which keeps getting infected he has had anti biotics and a tooth removed but it still is causing him bother dont quite understand what the dentist told hubby then hubby passed on to me but did understand the money bit we dont have it i'm gonna struggle as it is to get the holiday money without adding another £100 (dont even want to think of the £1,000) merde merde merde...i know it will sort itself out though so wont be worrying about this one lol

Snaggles

Thanks for the kind offer elantan, I'll take you up on that once the baby's here - my brain wont concentrate on anything at the moment lol!

Sorry to hear about hubby's teeth problems, sounds horrible (not to mention the expense). How come every time something good happens (the insurance saving), something bad happens to wipe the smile off your face??? Grrrrr.....life! :rolleyes:

Hi gorgeous.

If your dentist was unsure as to whether he had the skills or not - why didn't he just refer hubby to local dental hospital? Is it because nobody would be making money out if it then?

snaggles i know it's kinda like the mint card advert only it's good luck/bad luck instead of smart/dumb ...hubby says to leave it he will eventually have to get the tooth removed anyway but i dont like doing that so will add it to my long list of things to save for ..i can see this holiday being the last till son leaves home at this rate lol

elantan

hey sexy z ...it may just be that i dont know he showed me what the dentist was going on about ...ok bear with me here...on the right hand side of his mouth when he bites down the teeth go infront of the bottom teeth on the left hand side they go behind the dentist thinks he needs something to push the left hand side out so suggested a plate with something on it to force the teeth out and would need to be adjusted often...he previously extracted a tooth saying that that would solve the problem but it didnt ..this time he commented on the state of hubbys inside cheek hubby said yeah it's been like that since you took my last tooth out ...think i might need a new dentist

still nothing from the lawyer have phoned her and guess who's on holiday again next life i'm coming back as a male lawyer ...so have left a message once again and i'm sure that will be ignored too and will need to leave more seems like my dfd is getting further away by the minute ...but to balance that out i got fantastic help from my angel in disguise again and placed loads of bets so yippeee money is coming in ...quidco hasnt tracked yet with more then though but they are a medium tracker so i'm not overly concerned just yet well need to go and do housework then get to work and then onto night shift am coveing a shift for someone tonight ...
