• I was just about to give up on my old dyson as the suction had got really bad and was about to get a new one...decided first to look this problem up on you tube...lo and behold i discovered there were 2 filters in the dyson that i knew nothing about and have never been cleaned in 7 years :eek::eek:. Have just spent ages cleaning them and their casings and now have to wait 12 hours till they dry out to see if it has worked. I really hope it has as this will save over £200 :D
• The rest of the ebayers have paid up and i have £100 sitting in paypal...just need to resist the temptation to spend it :rotfl:

I used nectar points on my Mr S shop this week.

Currently I have two loads out on the line - it is freezing cold in the wind but I am hoping for some air drying

I did my shopping scanning, but have a scanner problem and it can't send

Since I last posted I have:

- won $500 on a casino site, totally free (if the money turns up which it should)
- got triple points and £10 off £100 at Sainsbury's
- took a load of sweets home which was left over from a conference now DH has enough and there is plenty for trick or treaters.
- made chicken stock using left over carcass
- bought shoes on Ebay I really need for work so although £60 for 2 pairs its still a saving as they cost £70 each new. Really needed a black pair of boots still not found them but will keep looking.

This weekend I have:

- Made a big batch of chicken stew with carcass and leftover bits of meat
- Made about 12 small meat & potato pasties with defrosted minced beef (Even used the rest of the egg glaze mix to make some pancake mix for after tea :rotfl:
- Bought 2 x Christmas presents for my mum from ebay. Making her up a Scottish themed hamper and saw pocket tartan diary and Scotland calendar on there - £7.50 and hamper almost finished
- Got my dad 8 bottles of real ale on offer at Tesco 4 for £5 as part of his Christmas present. Glad to be getting these things now whilst I see them and they are on offer, will mean I can relax in December
- Loaf of whoopsied Kingsmill for 34p from the Spar round the corner.
- £1 for a 2l of milk on promotion at Tesco. Decanted into three and 2 portions in freezer (don't use much milk.)
- 2 x 70p Populus surveys on TCB
- Buildings insurance people have been ringing every day wanting my custom for another 12 months. Did a quote as a new customer which came out £70 cheaper than renewal so rang and told them I would be shopping around and not automatically renewing. Strangely the calls have now stopped!

Think that's it!

Hi

If you sign up for approved foods, they email you the dates for the free delivery and other offers.


Its good that you had a baking frenzy I am so jealous you can cook, I can burn water.
