    not at all. lol I lurk on and off on this..

    hey I watched a program last night called extreme couponing.. it was amazing.. I thought if only they had that over here.. the womans shopping was roughly $756 dollars and by the time she put her coupons through she only had to pay $49! but they have all they big store larders for it they can do that.. I will just need to stick with my bog standard cupboard allowance lol!!

    good luck with the steaming.. I just finished my hall.. well the lining paper anyway with a good help from someone.. its hard work tho... that kids and work so just don't over do it!

    started the stripping of wallpaper in hallway......looks like a bombsite lol xx

    getting there slowly but surely xx

    went into town as puppy chewed through my laptop cable :mad: so that cost me £20

    Went into homebargains and bought toliet rolls £2, frebrezze for animals and room spray as i refuse to have a house that smells like dog.................would it be easier just to frebreze the puppy :rotfl:

    also bought a little mat frrom pet shop for Oscar's bowls so that was £2.50, also bought my newspaper and magazines seeing as it's trashy Tuesday :j:j so that was £2.39 so not too bad.

    Need to get gas later but have a avon order to drop off at school today so thats £16 so £10 of that will go on the gas therefore leaving my bank account alone :T Also have a nother avon order going out tonight so should be collecting £18 from that so technially i will have £22 left in my purse which i will make last til Saturday at least :D
