Bookie~You ok?
What you up to this PM?

I'm good Beanie. Taking the Brownies to a Division fun event and I really can't be bothered. 1pm - 5pm so that will be the day gone.
Then I have to go to another event in Wolverhampton for most of the day tomorrow.
Really looking forward to April 12th.

For Claire - having a quick look for parts, haven't a clue on whether prices are comparable, but I'll post anything I find in this post and edit. If you let me know the model, I will have a look for a manual online.

I think I would like a knitting machine, but I wouldn't know how to use it and they seem very expensive! Ahh well.

there are a few on ebay that are quite reasonable

katsu~Its a bumble bee but at least you dident go into debt to pay for it so just put it down to experience.

Thanks beanielou,

You are right, at least we have paid for this hotel out of our own money, and it does not stop us paying any bills.

Am currently filling out paperwork for remortgage, as fixed rate deal ending. That is how this site has changed me - I am not frightened to deal with my money.

Still had nasty shock, car insurance renewal due next month and no dedicated savings as all money went to clear debts. Not sure whether to have another year of installments or to look closely at my bank account (remaining scarey place!) to see if I can manage lump sum payment (have a work bonus coming in March so could off-set against premium).

Afternoon everyone.

Katsu, could you not stay there tonight, ahead of the wedding?

SuzySu

Good idea Spud....if it is paid for at least you could make use of it Katsu.
