lol i thought exactly that when the microwave blew up :rotfl:
Well i found my bank card after having a major melt down when i couldn't order 15 scarves i don't need, don't have money for but needed cos they were on sale.
. But it's ok i found the card, realised someone was trying to tell me something so cancelled 5 scarves and just ordered 10
:rotfl:. So 10 presents down on my 2012 list :T reduced from £35 to £1.34 (inc. p&p & cashback) and i liked them even if hardly anyone else on the grabbit board did :rotfl:
My sister caught me having the melt down (on fb by inboxing me half way through it) and has transferred £30 to my account for the kids xmas money but told me to use it if my tenancy money doesn't show up and to replace it when i get it :T so bank account up £30 and then down £14 for the scarves
Have a blinding headache a zillion jobs that need doing but i just wanna 'mong' and do SFA. Chicken pie & mash for dinner. Nice n quick. And heating is back on so i feel a bit of a failure having not made it to at least Jan (the worst weather) without having it on all day ... oh well the kids lips were turning blue, my hands were numb (bad circulation anyway!) so it's on and hopefully we will all be happier now :rotfl:Emergency Fund goal - £717.77/1500

We have the heating on and now i need a nap! It is drying washing so i think it is ok

Sounds a bargin for the scarves - want to look but must not spend any more. I hope you headache disappears and that you get a little rest
