    I just managed to spend £80 again. Yet more huge bags of scone mix as they are so quick and easy, along with lots of sprinkles for the ice cream the kids eat, and tins of beans. Now quite sure how i do it, but it would have been at least £10.50 delivery so i am glad i did it now.

    Now, best spend some time sorting the pantry again this weekend as i haven't got a clue where i will put it. It is still quite full from last time and i have been making bread buns and scones regularly. Best have another baking session this afternoon as the snack tin is empty again.

    Wow that's alorra lorra stuff. * cilla voice*

    I got 6 sprinkles - they were £1.00 on T's website when I looked! I thought I'd put some on the bun mix I've got. I bought some flour, pot noodles ( I know , I know! ) and I can't remember what else.I'm pleased I stayed away from the snacky stuff this time. I'm happy with it..We're easily pleased aren't we. :)

    One of my tins in my pantry which consists of one shelf under the stairs..fell on DDs head yesterday.Poor thing. That's me over stacking it as we haven't the room. I need a pantry like yours.


    Thanks Grateful..I'll remember that. I think he'll need to carry a hammer with him from now on then. He rocked it and jumped started it but it still wouldn't start and then all of a sudden.!. He's going to his garageman friends this afternoon who's seeing if its a dodgy starter motor. If it is he's just have to do a straight swop for another. What a palava!

    It wasn't me !! :eek: It was Grateful ^^

    There's hardly been any onep0lls today. I'm sick of looking.

    I was hoping for news on what the final electricity bill was as I'm expecting some back but its not come in the post today.

    Good news is that DS4 got money for his birthday and I've just ordered him a Wii Fit plus and board. Cmon!!! I can't wait to try that out...after he has of course.:)

    * Yes it was!*


    Is it me or am I missing where on onep0ll you can see when your referrals have signed up/ reached milestones?

    One of mine reached a milestone and I know I haven't got it yet nor can I see mention of any sign ups anywhere.

    DH is on his way back now from his friends garage and it was a loose wire on the starter motor,that's what comes from fitting it yourself by torchlight as it was late in the day when DH started fixing it. At least its not another trip to get another one built.

    3 peoples watching DDs shoes on ebay which end this weekend. I hope that they sell and we can make some pennies, still need to put the swinging chair and highchair on there though.

    I just tried to get a Geri Halliw3ll dress from Nxt directory delivered to my local store for our holiday but its not accepting it for some reason. I don't want to pay the delivery charge to our home plus you get cash back through TCB for nxt. I don't know if its because a sale is on at the moment but they had VIP slots available so I presuming the sale is in store too?? Oh well I'll have to try again next week.
