    Morning all!

    Haven't looked at the accounts yet but I think from what we were able to pay in cash this week, we are up about 20% in sales which is great. Over the weekend I will finalise October and then know for sure.

    Off on Monday, so have a long weekend to look forward too :)

    Forgot to confess...........

    Bought DH new trainers for work, reduced to 9.99 and his old ones had holes in the soles! Also bought myself some, as I really really really want to learn to run, well jog really. These were reduced to 19.99 (half price) and I asked the girl loads of questions...........she said they were grand for starters. I also had to buy the dreaded sports bra as I have heard too many scary stories on here. It too was reduced to 6.99.

    Got goggles too, need those to get back to swimming next week. They were an exuberant £7.99!!!!!!!!!!!

    Then I went to Boots and got toothpaste as we had used up all the hotel freebies and some shampoo and conditioner......again freebies were gone!

    And bought my neice a dressing gown for Christmas - £11

    Boiler repair and service - £101 Oil then cost £220

    Does it ever stop!

    Oh and DH has decided to try and get interest frozen on CC's so will let you know outcome of that conversation!
