    The online pound shop has dinky little lunchboxes with a fork attached. Ideal for salad.

    Where they a pound al ? :D

    New phone and tablet arrived yesterday, im just trying them out. Still with virgin but got a £12 pm deal for a new lg phone and tablet combo, 2x seperate contracts the £5pm rolling sim that was the best deal i found plus £7pm for the rest, i can upgrade the sim allowance if needed. I decided to get a package with tablet as the hudl has not been charging properly again. Rang tesco today and they have offered a refund. £129 coming back :D

    Newgirly - Your thinking about Xmas:eek::rotfl:

    I think your hotel trip sounds like a good idea. Its always nice to get a break and youd end up spending the same staying at home popping out for a lunch or a dinner.

    Hi debt free one day and fire girl, thanks for popping by :)

    After Eric was cleaned inside and out at the weekend (and de-spidered !) I took him for a spin, Sunday evening ,country lanes , I decided I would hang on to him as long as possible. Then I couldn't get him into gear :eek: half across a very dodgy junction he stopped , after a ten minute stop start journey I got him home and then had a bit of a cry :o its possibly a clutch cable or if not maybe the clutch, apparently in minis this Is bad as the engine has to be removed.

    Dad says he will take a look before I put him in a garage, if its a lot we will get it done and sell him :cry: if its not too dear, he has a temporary stay of execution until I can bear to sell him.

    In better news, I've been eating healthily and aside form the car problems the budget is OK :D

    I'd have taken it as a sign that it's time to say goodbye to Eric!

    I think I may see it as a sign to say goodbye to Eric as well, but then I am a wimp like that when I get stranded / stuck where cars are concerned.

    I thought it was more a sign Eric was cross that I was thinking about selling him :p
