gratefulforhelp's austerity measures

lol, it takes practice. You will get a notification if someone else comments (bids). If you want to you could check it again just before auction ends to see if yours is still highest bid.

Thanks. I now have 57 watchers on the DW, surely someone must bid!

Ooohhh i can sense a bidding war coming on...i love watching the last few minutes of the auction to see them all scrambling to get the highest bid...how long is left on the DW?

About ten hours left...61 watchers now - surely someone will bid??

Today my timesaving tip is to have a notebook and pen by my bed for brilliant ideas - how I'm supposed to write in the dark I don't know.

Yesterday I got to park outside the doctors' (rather brilliantly there is no parking) then got in to see the doc with DD1 ON TIME (usually they run 40 min behind). I got a pharmacist in boots who was polite and seemed to know his job (normally if you get one out of two you are lucky here) and to top it all, he made up the prescription IN THE TIME HE SAID.

So maybe it's more how other people value one's time than how one values one's own time?

I did manage to order a tank of oil (£598) and scrape against my CC limit...oops!

62 watchers...OMG hope they're not all MSE rs having a nose!!

63 watchers. No bids, it's like watching paint dry.

65 now.............

I'm tempted to rip my DW out of the kitchen and list it on ebay! I would hope for a bid though and I hope you get one soon. Yikes at the price of the oil, will that last you all Winter?

It might last until Feb. It's heating, clothes drying and cooking, so the leccy bill is low.

Don't rip out your DW. I'm lost without mine!

I wouldnt be able to live with out a dishwasher... even to the point while house-hunting if the house has a kitchen that we wouldnt need to replace... but no DW i give it the swerve. My DM always said i was a snob, and it was a pointless expensive item, that is until she got her new kitchen and built in DW, now she cant live without it!!
