    Honestly??? Nothing!! I dont want or need anything. So would use it to clear a debt

    You don't need to tell us but how much or what percentage of your debt would that clear? That is how much you are spending (by your own admission) each year on cigs. So if you throw it at your debt you'll be debt free and heatlhier a lot sooner.
    Bloody Nora!!!!! **THUD** toots just fainted!!!!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Glad the weather is improving, Miss A and I have listed 8 things so far but we need to get some more pictures in day light. we were delayed by having to show Dad how to list using sell your item.

    Just about to get dinner.

    Ive also decided that the cigs have got to go £5.11 a packet x 7 = £35.77 a week :eek: Going to roll my own (hum should be fun)
    You may find that you spend so much time rolling them that you end up smoking far less... And if you want to cutndown further something like knitting keeps your hands busy (might be good to do when you're bored at work too!)

    ETA: Greenbee Have you looked into 'SIPPS' for investment/pensions, Martin recommends and you can find info on the Hargreaves & Lansdown website x
    thanks ... I'll look.

    Managed to take tetrapaks to the tip and go to the health food shop this morning then went to see ex who was packing the last of the stuff from the flat and picked up a table my parents want back. He was very upset again :( had lunch with my brother and a lovely walk with him and my nephew, stopping for coffee and a feed for my nephew half way. Have taken partridges out of the freezer to defrost for lunch tomorrow (will bung in sc first thing with bacon bits and apple) and tidied a bit. Need to clean kitchen enough to make a cake then clean it properly after supper. Cake should do for lunch and tea...

    Fire lit and going ok so I guess I should get on.
  • I have done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROD is now......................done!

    Only a chunk of filing which I cannot face. 3 black bags, a load of shedding. From a tiny room!

    Off to declutter pizza.........and some cider.............see you all next week!

    1 step closer xxxxxxx
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    Hi All,
    Not been doing an awful lot of flying as such, but have kept up with the dailies, have got some of the utility room/future crafting room cleared out and dumped, which is brilliant! Kept up with the washing.... actually got some out drying today rather than up on the dolly with the window open. They smell Lovely!!!!
    Going to hold back on listing my ebay stuff until tomorrow. I've a load of skating dresses etc that need to go, but I'm leaving it to Sunday eve.
    whichwhydoIturn Hopi Ear Candling.... Does that hurt? I'm asking because I always get funny full ears before a migraine, and often wondered if one was caused by the other, or vice versa if you see what I mean. Wondering if it might help.
    Hubby saw neurologist yesterday regarding his "dropped foot" shuffle thing. I have to say, it was, for me, a non-appointment. He started off with asking hubby what the problem was, interrupted asking him if he crossed his legs, as that would cause it, got stuck on the crossed legs diagonsis, didn't listen, and, it transpired, didn't even know that he'd had an MRI (which is what we thought we were there to hear the results of) or an electrical conductivity test. Gah! As my dear sister said "sounds like a bit of a FO diagnosis". Certainly different from the day before when he went for his electrical conductivity test, and the doctor seemed quite concerned that the power in the affected foot was only 80% and the other foot, 90%. According to the neurologist, it has probably always been that way..... errrr, no, that's why he noticed there was a problem in the first place! Git wouldn't listen. Had made his mind up already. Fizzzzzz.
    Planted stuff today... chillies, tomatoes, mixed lettuce, cress, and peppers. Probably too early, but give me three days of sunshine, and I think it's summer. Have decided not to buy Mirabelle plum trees/quinces/medlars and various other fruit trees for the walled garden, just in case it doesn't work out.
    Anyhow, I'm just checking in and blethering- Hope everyone is well and relaxed. x

    eta onestep Well done re ROD!!!!
    life in termoil Hubby found that going outside to smoke and our having a "no smoking" house cut his smoking down (he wants to stop though, so it might be a step too far if you don't)
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
