    Good luck with it Tigz, I reallly ought to get back to it this week too :o
    Thankyou GQ, that makes me feel like I'm well on the way to meeting the target, although of course it was a revised target for the year and I cant see how I am possibly going to reach my goal of clearing the mortgage by my 40th :o

    Bah, so much for my lie-in, ds decided to wake up at stupid o'clock and wanted me awake too :cool: No amount of persuading him was going to work and by the time I'd tried I too was wide awake :o

    I am still in bed though, not getting up this early, its just wrong on a sunday :)

    So todays plan ... trip to Sainsburys, visit Dad, visit the bus station ... help ds with his homework. I didn't even start the ebay stuff last night as ds wanted the laptop for a bit and then my sister phoned, and by then I was too tired. I did manage to get the ironing done and put away, although the stuff that was drying is now probably dry and ready to be done, so another session today, although that shouldn't take long :)

    Ironing is done and all put away, we're both dressed and ready for the day ahead, pretty much unheard of this early on a sunday :) Off to Sainsaburys in a minute before it gets too busy ...

    Benben, when did you get your new mobile? Just that I think I got mine around the same time as you and have just realised I am due the first cashback soon. So that will be a nice extra £60 - are you due for that too?

    Hi Lelly, yep its due in April, already factored into my spreadsheet but thanks for the reminder, I should dig out the paperwork soon and see where I have to send it :D

    Back from Sainsburys, well this time I spent £50 and a few pence BUT this included a new set of knives in a block (mine were over 15 years old and were cheapy Argos ones anyway) which were reduced from £36 to £9 :beer: and a new set of bedding for my bed; a double duvet cover, 2 embroidered pillow cases, a cushion cover and a bed runner, also reduced to £9 :T :T I was thinking yesterday when I changed the bed how tired looking the bedding was, so it will be nice to change one set of it at least :D:D

    Just having lunch now, I know its early but I was starving and then we're off to see dad and then the local bus station :o
