    woooo on the mortgage :j

    You must be over the moon. Have a beer to celebrate :beer:

    And £35 for a bed is just ridiculously cheap. Realise everyone may have already suggested this, but have you tried Freecycle for furnishings? Sometimes you get some good stuff on there.

    thanks! :j

    bed has just arrived, few scratches but still very nice, very big and solid :) i like it enough to go in my room so means can find another cheap one that can go in lodgers room!

    lol i attempted to sign up for freecycle a while ago but didnt quite go to plan. i receive emails few times a day from them but cannot actually look at them! going to look into it again :)

    Yeah, glad you are pleased with bed :T, and here's hoping for replacement hamster home as well :).

    You'd better hope the house is not delayed or you might turn into one of those batty old women who lives in their bedroom surrounded by random objects :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Gally have you been in my room?? Other than the old part that sounds just like my room!

    Kitchen things in one corner, giant fishtank and assorted equipment in another.....

  • Let me know if the hamster cage worked out! :j

    My mum never let me have a hamster when I was growing up. My best friend had one called Hammy (how original) and it nipped me once. Been terrified ever since! :eek:

    But hope it works for you!

    woohoo someone is interested in the picture frames i put up for sale on intranet! yey! hopefully they will buy them :D

    i have a confession- went to tesco and bought a ready meal! had to buy on card as not enough in purse :o oops

    on the plus side got two more audits today so i now have enough jobs booked to reach my £250 target! will try for more as i will not be able to do as many when i move house as will be busy for a while!

    Hi clippy,

    thought i'd drop in as you did on my diary.

    Well done on the house front. Am a tad jealous of the help you are getting from your mum, as i'm having to do this the long way round saving from scratch, I'll get there eventually though.

    Hope the lodger situation pans out nicely as I'll probably need your advice on that when I eventually catch up to you. ;)
