    OH gone out to spend £10 on a shower curtain as it has mould on it and we have already bleached it to death in the past. We have relatives about to arrive for 3 nights (we have no standards any more but we don't want to shock them!) We've also run out of dishwasher powder so that may be about £3.50 or so. Grrrrr hate spending money.

    A thanks because of the laugh, which I desperately need right now, and a quote because "did you know.......;) " that you can get a bottle of washing up liquid for less than 50p!

    Sorry, I'm just jealous as I don't own a dishwasher, even after 32 years of marriage :(. There have been times we could have afforded one, but OH doesn't see the point, and we'd have to sacrifice a cupboard to fit one in.

    Spent today £4.65. Daily Mail (for the TV mag), reduced price cabbage, fruit juice (offer 3 x 1L cartons for £2.30) and 99p bag of frozen mixed veg.

    Hope it's okay for a not strictly DFW to join these threads, but you all seem such a lovely friendly bunch, and it's my favourite thread for a daily lurk :o .
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Oh yung, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope your son gets well soon and the cyst is nothing to worry about.

    I know you have been looking forward to your holiday. Hope everything works out well in the end. Please keep us posted.
