    I ordered all my Easter Cards off funkyp!geon yesterday, just got confirmation, they have all been printed and being posted...

    the best part..... each only cost me 90p for card and stamp! :j

    I have saved so much money! I did a referral on DH's e-mail, got him to buy 1 card using discount code, I got £3 for referring him, so minimum spend for all his family's cards!

    I love moneysaving! Just wish I could put the amount of money I have saved into a savings account. :(

    how cheap am i ? i didn't send any cards. :o

    Marru, can you be my guru please? You and FW inspire me.

    Umm, about moving, the agency are probably being lazy - they will need to send you a new contract to sign but are leaving it to the last minute, mine do this, and it is wrong! Especially if your LL is putting up the rent like mine did.

    Sounds like there are positive reasons for moving. The bath, new location, more space.

    Did you leave a message with agent? If so, can you find out where his office is? Then go and see him?

    could you contact current agency and ask if it is possible to go on a rolling contract? month to month? gives you time to look for somewhere else to live, if you don't get cottage and give notice.

    oh we will be called allsorts if we don't send cards and gifts.. for birthdays, I have decided this year to stop putting money in their cards for Easter. They are adults now. 1 is married, 1 soon to be married. And I can't blooming afford it!

    They have no idea how expensive it is for us to live down here. They say you don't need a car, you have london transport on your doorstep. London Transport doesn't take me to watford for gambado for Sam, or Ruislip Lido which is 2 buses there and 2 buses back.

    sorry, his family make me so angry.

    This is why I did it through funkypigeon. I don't have to pay for stamps :D

    Yep, I will call about the cottage again. If it is gone will contact my present agency to try arrange rolling contract. There is another house to let that is almost across the road from here, also more space but not as nice inside, might ask about that as well. But then that is the end of the options. Must do lunch so logging off. Byeeeeee...
