Afternoon All :wave:

It's nice to be in the UK again and Popeye and I have been doing a thorough overhaul of our finances :eek: Unbelievably we have already managed to wipe £75 per month off our direct debits :j:j

so today [STRIKE]I[/STRIKE] we will/have:

• argued with the water company - DD reduced by £5
• argued with car insurance - Refund of £150
• cancelled a couple of life insurance/critical ilness policies - I can't claim as I no longer work :mad: - DD's reduced bt £73.26
• raise an invoice for colleague staying overnight - easy money :rotfl:they'll even refund a pub lunch (we've GOT to show him a typical English Pub haven't we? :rotfl:)
• will look at getting a mobile phone contract with Virgin, added to our TV package and compare it with the package I have from Vodaphone which is extortionate :eek:
• catch up on e-mails - done a couple, loads more yet to do
• look for MS assignments
• look at Shred DVD (don't plan to unwrap it, just look at it )

Have a great day everybody :A

wow that's amazing nowpanicking! :A Good for you! How long have you been running for? x

Hiya determined, I started running just over a year ago - have done a few 10k's now but that was the first half marathon. I really feel the benefits from running - it's definitely a good de-stresser!! Plus I've def lost weight as well, so bonus!! Really do it for the healthy body and mind though ... plus it's free!!! (apart from the shoes etc)

Morning all

my list
- take laptop back to Comet - it has been sent off once to be 'repaired', Toshiba claim nothing wrong with it but why does it keep switching itself off! well..grrr....toshiba will be collecting from comet, lets see what they say this time!
-check chickens and greenhouse - sweet red peppers starting to rippen yay! picked some cayenne peppers and the sweet ones are rippening!
-tidy sitting room nope...shocking have spent the afternoon saving cash - on the phone to Virgin was transfered 7 times!
-keep my fingers crossed that I get an interview tomorrow NO :mad: but I am not suprised as they want to reapoint the same staff they had last year - they legalu have to advertise :mad:
-check TES - done! jobs are starting to be advertised..one day i will get a job
-ring gym to book in for punch, hopefully they will have some places left if not it will just be swimming no spaces for punch so swimming it is
-some moping and hoovering - maybe later![/QUOTE]

hmmmm have a question for you...a Art Teacher who does photography is quoting £400 for 5 hours work and sorting of images, images on a disc (no printing) for my wedding. She has a full time job and is cheaper than the cheapest pro photographers in bristol but not sure I am prepared to pay that! We are feeding and watering her! Any thoughts?

Spent what seemed like hours on the phone to Virgin all in an attempt to save cash and go to ebilling and cancel itemised billing! Am considering binning talk unlimited as it does include mobiles. Also thinking of downsizing the Tv bundle but i love Good Food Channel!

But in the fun side...hopefully after swimming might be maing my homemade chorizo sausage! Yesterday made 4 litres of pink banana squash and marrow soup!:)
