I'm fine only I just checked my SS - no savings till Mid April :eek: and like just spent £23 on e-cig batteries (guess I needed them) and like £71 on 100 cartos. Bearing in mind last night I got through about 6 in a cartridge crisis and most week's it's about 4 LOL .I checked and I only have 15 left :eek: I like to have a good supply in. But still - even with £11 postage they are still cheaper than uk (would have cost me about £70 for just 50) so wise move :T

So my little happy dance about being debt free come may 15th has taken a knocking and now I desperately need good ebay sales from kitchenware else I'm in trouble (4 items - should get it)....

Wanted to ask, re@ surveys - there are very VERY few that I seem to be eligible for. And don;t even get me started on that 'superbutton' thing

Hope you get your sales Erme... think of all that lovely kitchen space... oh wait... think how good the KC looks where the other things used to be.

Rose, I'm a bit of a non-starter with surveys. Well, there's one lot I do when I get round to it which is not very ambitious of me but I have limited what I can take part in because I refuse to give details of my nearest and dearest.

I think that's my problem. I don't want to give out too much info, plus I seem to live in an odd area in England that people don;t want to survey me online.

someone else moaned on ebay tonight about two white and grey pills in a handbag (have no idea what they were?) - and the girl yesterday was lovely. She just wanted an explanation but I gave her a full refund :j...Didn't give the next person a full refund LOL....

Anyhow...good news re medics....got what I wanted (did you get my email Miggy) and he likes L*** £3.99 perfume (I normally wear chanel to these appts) so I told him to get some for the wife (he was then moaning about the cost of chanel. Hello Dr. C printer cartridge ink is even more expensive than chanel) and hassling me what it was called. I pity his posh lawyer wife. Talk about downgrade :rotfl: Going from chanel to L***....even hours later makes me laugh so much!!!! This is the medic that will argue the point over whether he has a range rover or a land rover (same thing to me) as one is supposed to be more expensive tee hee. I smiled and said 'well I know you like a bargain' - 'that I do - and I'd seen it in the press'....

Update to follow...if he grunts she hated it. Didn't ask for the secretary's new wedding dress cos her diet is not working LOL

Thanks for the email! Sorry I am rubbish at replying but I have had a read and grinned at the perfume. Now I imagine the posh lawyer wife wearing printing ink...

I'm limited in the perfume I can wear. Some seem to change when in contact with my skin. Good for you finding a bargain one that suits you - I am sure you'll find a home for the money you save.

Well I seem to have got the cold that's going the rounds so it's off to bed for me soon. Just need to record that I missed 40p of yesterday's savings and managed another £2.87 today.

I also did nothing from my list, spent £3 to get the dishwasher really clean and flooded the kitchen, several times. So much for trying to sort out a small problem with the washing machine. Oh, and two loads of washing plus assorted bits of careful handwashing: at long last I have a clean Christmas tablecloth! I'm not sure it 'needed' washing but I don't like to put it away unwashed. Three months later...

Getting a cold was not such a good idea...

Never mind, it won't last and I had an extra five hours at work today which will come in useful. It gets added to the total once it's on my payslip.

I've also tidied up the garden a bit and DH has blitzed the bathroom which was looking a bit worse for wear. We are feeling short of food money this week (again) but DD and I both got things marked down at the end of the day (different shops) so I have a saving of £6.37. I've reminded DH of the joys of spicy lentil soup so we will be having that tomorrow.

In theory we could allow ourselves more food money right now but I'm agin it, partly because it's a slippery slope and partly because we don't know where we'll stand financially in a few weeks' time.

I had a crazy idea about asking work if I could have a temporary contract to help cover the hours they are short and that would give me the chance to see how I managed - but I think by the time it was in place they will have their new member of staff anyway.

I have paranoia...

Yesterday was sooooo tiring. Hoping it's just tiredness and a PJ day tomorrow will fix it. If it continues till Tues/Wed next week then like I'm back at the docs for a meds <.

Anyhow yesterday (till the paranoia set in) was good ...and is it me or is it freezing?

Oh dear, I hope having a PJ day helps. I think you said you had new meds too didn't you? Changing meds is likely to rock the boat until your system gets used to them (as you know - sorry). As you say, you might need to increase your dose... or not... Will pray for you.

We have sunshine and it's not freezing here - not as warm as it was though. Mind you I'm temperaturey, ears feel funny, sniffly etc. And I thought I'd escaped this round of colds, ha!

No list today, I'll just see how things go.

Have a good day all! (BTW Hovel Lady - I really appreciate you keeping popping in! Do you have a new diary? I haven't found one yet).

Hello Miggy,
I've finally caught up on some diaries. It sounds like you really have a lot going on, although you always sound like you're in good spirits on here whichis nice to read. I do feel for you stuck in a confusing situation but life does often have a funny way of sorting itself out.
