    My contents insurance is up for renewal soon & while I was thinking I'd get some lovely quidco cashback ... I dont reckon it's going to happen :(.

    I received my renewal pack & quote today & it's a really good price, in fact its half the next best quote I got from confused.

    Same thing happened with my car insurance in november, got such a good renewal deal that even taking cashback into account wasnt worth changing it..

    I'm actually relieved though as I hate all the faff & time wasting & as long as I get a good price surely that's what matters most :).

    So tired I need my bed & havent done any reading today. Need to be alert too in case delivery man turns up with my slow cooker at 7am :eek:

    Will be needing some help with recipe ideas pleeeeeeease; museumworker was so shocked that I've never made a casserole or stew, so I need to impress her.

    Night night all & please form an orderly queue to sign up to next years clothes challenge :D, Shoe Gal, I know you'll be pushing your way to the front to be first :rotfl:
  • Hi

    'Saw' you over on someone else's thread and thought I would pop in.

    Good luck with clearing your debt by May.

    Morning my lovely,

    I'm not going to make you do anything my lovely, but I'm giving up being bossy & militant & letting everyone choose their own budget & what to include in the challenge this year ( all heart, me :D) so how about you think about how much you can actually afford to spend on clothes & then work out a kind of budget from that. You dont have to do the challenge though & I'll still love you even if you are naughty :p;)

    Hello & welcome Eager_ Elephant, nice to see you here, thanks for popping in :).

    No pressure hon :).

    I've just had my slowcooker delivered. Havent a clue what to do with it, I think that making hobnobs & rock cakes is 'cooking'. Well, it can keep the ice cream maker company :rotfl:

    Add to that the indignity of having to answer the door in my pj's :o. Just settled back into bed when the window cleaner turned up, so now £7 lighter :(. He likes to chat for ages & it was only when he'd gone I remembered that he usually turns up the week before christmas & I give him a card with a fiver in. I feel a bit bad now as I do have the card + fiver tucked away with my funds. Maybe I should give it to him next time, saying that I forgot, or maybe I should double it next year ?

    Or, I could just forget all about it & add to my super secret cash stash ;).

    My throat feels like sandpaper, woke up at 5 & had to take strepsils, then coudnt get back to sleep so read for a bit, then feel asleep & didnt wake up until 10.

    I need to get washing done today & also want to take down the tree & decs. I'm bored with all that now & just want a clean tidy clutter free home again.

    Off to do some clunks into my sealed pot ...

    Making rock cakes IS cooking :rotfl::rotfl: I hardly ever actually cook but I think with my weightloss and budget goals for 2011 I will have to start :)
