whew- busy day mennie!
might have to follow you on the 3.30 tesco bargains - though not sure where Id put them as our freezer is already bursting with reduced bread and the results of my "batch cooking"! :rotfl: I am amazed at how easily pleased I now am at finding a bargain!
well done on the OPs and savings- when are you planning on getting your bathroom done? am hoping to do mine next year sometime but looking for inspiration on what to choose!

mennie

I plan to get it done in June, we are going away for a week in the lake district in June and hope to get it done while we are gone.

Its apricot at the moment -Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

We are going for white, nice and simple

mine is 70s avacado with flowers!! .... I think I win on the hideous stakes
was thinking white as well, where are you getting yours from?

mennie

you definately win, poor you.:eek:

I think Homebase, B&Q or wickes, depending on who is cheapest at the time. Just want a basic bog standard suite, you get them for about £200 these days dont you

linz

Not sure how much bog standard suites are but keep an eye out for those 10% off days that homebase do, or voucher/discount codes etc. Bet you'll be able to save on the cost of a suite if you time it right.

mennie

Thanks Linz,

Am getting through the lists, and My parents just brought over 2 huge bags of veg and a bag of spuds for £2 from the market. Should keep the shopping down for weeks

I got £3 greggs vouchers in the post and found out I am getting a partial refund for something I bought on ebay and Asda are sending a gift card following a complaint
