    :doh: :rotfl:

    Did you not keep it on the PC? Or is it in some box that should be unpacked but you were too busy partying? ;)

  • I went sales shopping today. It was grim but it had to be done as it's the cheapest way of getting clothes for my little boy- a combination of sales bargains and fleabay snipes keep him well dressed.

    So I spent £66 on loads of clothes for him plus a few essentials for me. It sounds a lot but he's fine for clothes for the next 6 months to a year, depending on how quickly he grows :D

    Still doing my quidco and topcashback clicks although I'm very disappointed that kelkoo has gone down to 5p :mad:

    Everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to have another baby. I can't tell them the real answer "When I'm debt-free!" Got to get this mbna card clear and then maternity leave won't be a problem. So that's a huge incentive :D

  • Pleasure and can totally relate to the boiler nightmare - mine just cost 600 & that wasnt even a new one! Currently waiting to see if the first pumber will refund 135 labour or off to corgi I go! 2nd plumber said the 2nd & 3rd part were not needed so am not a happy bunny :( But am now at least warm with ht water & heating - wk before Christmas NOT a good time for stuff to conk out!

  • That sounds like a nightmare! Yes, it's no fun being without heating and hot water is it. I wasn't best pleased to have to fork out for the new boiler when I think how that would have made a huge contribution towards paying off my CC but these things are unavoidable aren't they.
