    it has been all week :s
    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)

    What does everyone think to £40 each a week for a couple for fun/spends money? This also includes nights out and clothes...

    I don't know Gemmzie, I think it depends on the rest of the SOA. I'd say it's a bit low if it's including clothes as well.

    Aaargh, I handed in an essay two weeks ago yesterday and I still haven't got the result! For my other course it was handed in on Saturday and returned on monday. He said he'd be marking them over the weekend, surely it shouldn't take this long? It's not even an essay, it's just questions and most of them it's right/wrong, there's no interpretation or anything.

    Sorry, just had to rant...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hi all

    Been lurking for the past couple of days as I haven't really got anything interesting to say.

    Good luck for later Luc...what time are you expecting a call?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Luc, what time are they calling?

    Ames, I usually have to wait up to four weeks for an essay back...I thought that was bad!

    I went into town, got a new pair of jeans (size 14!) and they better fit, I went in River Island and tried on a pair of their 14's and I nearly fit in....give or take an inch! So New Look ones should fit.
    I've also done the washing, emptied the dishwasher, hoovered and cleared out SIX bags worth of clothes/shoes/coats/misc that I don't use or wear or want anymore.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    It would be for about six months Ames so we can tackle our respective debts hard.
