    £79.99 for a kettle :eek:

    A few weeks ago, our kettle started leaking, so I started looking round for a new one - couldn't believe the prices'

    Fortunately, the leaking seems to have stopped, so we'll make do with the old one for the time being

    I'd like to do number 4, my upstairs cArpets are really naff, but we had no money and bare floors, so bought cheapest carpet just to get by.

    My kettle hasn't an internal light.....:(

    Hi GG back on it now and in some awe of your progress. Looking forward to a big mortgage free celebration later this year. I now have two buy to lets following some really good advice on how you did yours. I hate being a land lady but now have a full service letting agent which works for me. It has been a good diversification for me financially so thanks for the inspiration.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Hhhhhmmmmmmm, no chance of that I'm afraid :cool:.

    Is it bed-time yet :eek:. Had busy weekend with friends to stay, round at another friends for a good while yesterday. Took their dog for a walk :j. Saw a red kite get chased by a crow :(. Spent today gardening and worn myself out :rotfl:. Managed to find the time to buy some clothes off ebay :o. Carried out and wrote up 2 mystery shops :T but need to return an item to one of them - will try to do during the week but will probably be next Sat.

    Today I have mostly eaten ...... bread :o. Really couldn't be bothered cooking so spent time eating sandwiches for lunch and dinner - outside in the sunshine :T.

    Thank goodness it's a short week :j.

    Haven't done credit card rec yet and bill goes out in a day or two :eek:. Can be lazy because S123 account is functioning as a savings account for house so I know there's plenty money in there :o. Will try to do Thurs night - got a manic few days first :(.

    Watching the snooker - don't really mind who wins but it's a BH ritual. Will have to go to be bed early though so rooting for Selby to wrap it up quickly (crikey - that was a shock, it was all O'Sullivan last night!).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
