Didn't get the coffee grinder. Paid over the odds for the slicer. Hope I get the juicer and the small chopper thing..then the magimix is getting sold (if I get the chopper) and possibly the juicer...

Any idea how much I can get for a magimix le mini plus on ebay? (without blendermix)....Paid about 100 18 months ago. Still in GWO with a repair or two (by me- had to glue the control panel back on)...with all the attachments it came with (blade, slicer, whisk, mini chopper)

Ooh, I don't know... you'd have to check what they're going for but as a starter how about £49.99? Depends how good you are at repairs.

glad you had a lovely time in Londinium, and that the Queen popped by to see you. It was the least she could do after the effort you made to visit the town.

I think the Queen was looking out of her window waiting for your arrival then rushed downstairs to get out to see you both! I have this little vision now of her running down the stairs and then composing herself at the door!!!!

Funnily enough, when the Royal Party disappeared off, I envisaged her saying to the various dignitaries "Have you got time to come in? I've just put the kettle on." We weren't offered one - but then as I've never asked her round either, that's quite understandable.

I completely get the overspend. But maybe it's good as it shows you a spendy trigger? I'm exactly the same and know that if I don't organise what I can and can't buy then I'll go on a frenzy.

That's it exactly - we should have seen it coming and made a Plan. Perhaps I should do that early for holidays. I might not think of everything but some sort of strategy and budget helps.

This control I currently have still feels quite superficial and delicate and although I feel that any blow out will either be minimal or will bring me to my senses early enough to take things back I still feel remarkably close to the back of the wagon to fall off! I sound like a spendy addict!

Hello everyone, my name is Muffin and I'm a compulsive spender.

Well, not quite compulsive - you've managed very well recently. I suppose newer habits are always more fragile though. I think diaries help in this respect: we run the risk of someone noticing if we go mad!

Oh, also £22.50 for what you bought sounds great. Isn't that what this is all about? Controlled spending rather than not having anything!

True. I'm not good at spending on myself but then when I read what some people buy, and look at the age of some of my things (or look in the mirror!) I feel I ought to buy a bit more! I was pleased with my bargains too.

How did your big breakfast go? Was the Queen there?

Unfortunately she had a prior engagement. Other than that all went well thanks!

Just trying to persuade her to unveil a commemorative plaque to that effect... watch this space!

It stays on for ages with tacky glue ...I'll just give it a good clean do as you say....It was only glued on in the first place...It's only plastic anyhows.... not even knobs or buttons anyway. Just a wee thin piece of plastic...you'd have thought Magimix would have done better.

So yeah made bread in the Kenwood this am...:j Still need to get grease and find the gearbox. Have no idea where that is:P...Kenwood restore said it would need two tubes. I might just get one and see how I get on with it

Will have to ask on the kenwood thread....

Just been to post office to post some e-cig parcels and like Uncle K's cards he wanted making and got 12 large stamps and it came to a whopping £8 :eek:..... Now how did that happen as I put on about 4 stamps before I even got there? and like large 2nd stamps are 58p as is :eek:

So yeah good morning Mrs Miggy.....No word on the CK job. I don't think I even have an interview ...If I don't hear by the end of the week I know I won't have an interview ...but God be praised. He has the perfect job lined up for me in his time :A

Might even stay on longer with your gluethan the original!

Postage is expensive - and did you hear it's going up again some time soon? Time to buy some in advance I think. (Superdr.g have 5% off I think). I hope Ebay put their postage allowances up.

God be praised. He has the perfect job lined up for me in his time :A

Could that just happen to be baking with a side-line in fixing things?

Today I haven't got much done so now I need to knuckle down.

Text about plumber -DONE
Ring about piano lessons - DONE
Ring for appointment for sore eye - DONE
Sort out things for homegroup - PART DONE
Write to M and A - NOT DONE
Sort out recipes for raffle prizes. - PART DONE
Email F - DONE
Transfer money if I can work out how to do it. - NOT DONE

The recipes thing... my friend talked me into supporting The Children's Society and they're having a raffle so we're supposed to donate prizes. I could just get a bottle of wine but that's not original so I thought I'd make a 'recipe in a jar' which isn't expensive but is quite fun.

It's just one of those days where things are a bit uphill.

I was getting quite down and putting off getting my bank details together to transfer from one pot to another - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find them, I think. As it was they turned up fairly easily and I worked out what to do only to find it won't let me make the transaction until I register the card reader that they sent me some time last year and I never bothered with it because it was one more thing to have to do. ETA: all that without so much as a comma!)Of course I now don't have it to hand so I logged out and went shopping.

Shopping was nearly half my share of this week's food money. :eek: That includes ingredients for the raffle prize so I will have to do a bit of number crunching and pay myself that much back or I will be struggling. Also not happy at Mr T because they were sold out of basics flour and sultanas so I had to pay extra, then a couple of shop assistants walked in front of me (no 'excuse me's) and stood stacking shelves where I was trying to look for something. If the diet's so effective that I've become see-through, it's the first I've heard of it. Grump, grump.

Lugged it all home, am now waiting for me to make myself some coffee. I have, however, started the washing machine up again and made myself a snack so all is not lost.

If the diet is that effective write a book quickly - it'll be a bestseller I'm sure :cool:

For you...
