    Hi everyone..hope you are all well.

    Today I've done the banking and stuff and a bit of washing/drying...washed pots so am getting back to normal.

    BIGGEST NEWS OF TODAY IS THAT I TRANSFERRED ANOTHER £1958.00 INTO SAVINGS SO MORTGAGE UNDER £30K NOW

    SO HAVE UPDATED MY SIG.

    this was the emergency money that I left in an account incase it was needed for an emergency..so decided it would be better earning interest and can be removed if needs be in an emergency.

    Popped to a garage today that was recommended to DH and on rough prices will be loads cheaper because for a start the labour is £35 p/h compared with £69.50 p/h and the parts are probably cheaper..so will give it a go...will be more for the mortgage pot..lol

    Thanks Vanda have ordered the sample via paypal...am looking forward to try them.
  • They are quite good Taxi, i use them for the odd wash- and the washing doesn't smell of anything except clean. They need to go in a bag though, or you will be looking at the little brown things all over your washing and thinking oops- I did that first time and thought someone had well- errr you get the picture..:(

    I get the picture..lol...they are worth a try anyway.
  • I love them- along with my soda crystals and vinegar- in fact they do have a bit of a vinegary smell come to think of it. But very good non the less. :) My clothes look clean as well, so can't complain.

    Taxi - my SIL works in a car parts place and says the cheapest way to get repairs done is to find a garage who will let you buy and bring the parts to them - she said garages mark up between 50 -100% on parts.

    We had to look around but found a great mechanic who is happy for us to get parts ourselves!

    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
