    Subliminal advertising is unethical you know.....:rotfl:

    Plus, advertising Creme Eggs - the most vomit inducing item on the planet is just unforgivable!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Oh Gonzo you're not far from me either (therefore Billie must be close too) :wave:

    Had a lovely walk this morning - DH got on well with the new wheels he tried and managed to stay out for just over 2 hours! Walked along the sea front which was lovely...then up the long steep hill which was less lovely...think we've found a winner though and shall be seeing which local company can give us the best deal. :T

    Luc - your cakes sound lovely, I rarely do anything more exciting than muffins or fairy cakes as none of us are really cake eaters. Must be great to have your oven back after all this time of it not working.

    Sammy - Take care of yourself - keep an eye out for shingles.

    Tea - Your bills question....it all depends...council tax you should be able to find on your local council website....gas and electric all depend on how big the place is/type of boiler/how long you have the heating on etc....there's 4 of us in a 3 bed, 3 storey house and we pay £60 per month for gas and electric(combined)....Water rates - give the local water company a ring - they'll be able to tell you what's what.....hth.

    i love cream eggs too :)
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
