    I vote for the phone too - definitely a deserved treat :)
    No longer using this account for new posts from 2013
  • Many thanks all, undecided on the phone. Will see how I feel when I order Mum's as they are both online exclusive deals. Beanie, I have been checking out trade it/ebay/gumtree for a shed but they are either too far away or go for the same price sometimes as a new one. There is a sale at the moment on one I would like but I can't justify it.

    Because I need savings/car repair money more than I need a shed :rotfl: I know we don't have anywhere to store my tools just now but hopefully once we clear out the understairs cupboard we will. Its just a lot of money (£120) when you don't have any savings :o
  • So everything has been done, just need all my direct debits to leave the account. I did spend a little more extra than I thought I would, I purchased some extra grocerys, toilet rolls and washing powder for the house and some new underwear. Now just waiting until my account has cleared before I transfer any savings/extra across to my saver. Still undecided on the phone, shall read some reviews :D

    Have a great weekend all :beer:
