    Just finished putting all the xmas decorations in the loft, took them down the other day but left them in the dining room till today, think it's harder work taking them down than putting them up. House feels clean and fresh now. Now going for a long walk to blow the cobwebs away.

    Hi ebayqueen

    Always go to Tesco's for the points, we have Morrisons here but I don't like the checkouts!

    Have decided to save the excitement of cleaning the bathroom till tomorrow!

    I'm going to my best friends later, she has had an endowement payout and is using it to clear as much debt as possible and isn't sure which debts to clear. She's doing the right thing absolutely but it's hard breaking to think she has saved this for ten years since the age of 21 and is now using all on debt, you just don't feel like you are getting anything for your money do you. Still it will make her day to day life so much easier.

    I love putting them all up, but taking them all down is so boring and I can't wait to be done with them after Xmas!

    :o No not quite £49.06 but I have got lots of extra stuff that was on offer. DS has just started on a high protein diet for his sport and its costing a fortune but its a small price to pay to see him do so well.
    I have toyed with cashing in our endowment been running over 15 years now but we have decided to use it towards our retirement fund, I suppose its something we could always fall back on if needed.

    Hi Woo

    Its great to get what you want and need. The perfume is not me so I got £20 today for it so I am a happy bunny. :j

    I have tonnes to use up so its better to get something else I really need. Hope you have had a good day cleaning. I have left my oldest 2 (17, 19)to clean kitchen after tea this evening so must go and check if its done to my satisfaction!!!!!:D

    Going to shorten my sig name .... its E :cool:
    God Bless
