Hi

I hope everyone has had a great weekend

I've been busy babysitting and writting Christmas cards, all I need now is stamps to post some of them. Although they won't be posted for a week or so yet!!

pms - if you are a Costco member then thats the place to get cheap stamps.
I haven't been to the Costco in Edinburgh but if my (failing) memory serves me then it is next to Ikea.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Morning My scottish DFW friends...

I was wondering if we can help each other out at a local level, For example I work for a mobile phone company so If You need any help with your phones and like proper impartial advice and help for things like mms etc You can ask me.

Anyone else want to help each other out?

Great idea! I work in electronics and IT and coach people for exams as well. Not sure if this might be of use to anyone!

Yep, you're right. Loanhead(?) I think the area is called. The Glasgow one is in Springburn, St Rollox business park, near the Tesco extra.

Indeed it is and it is where all my money seems to go.....

itsarichmansworld sorry to here of your laundry woes. My aged machine (going on 14yrs (fingers crossed)) is making some odd noises probably been eating tights again...Anyway..... do you have an emergency fund? to cope with stuff like this?

Its just have been chucking spare money at debts and I am afraid of a big bill like the washing machine going. But Martin also writes on the stupidity of having savings as well as debt? If you have an emergency fund how much is sufficient? I am a bit confused:o

Ah well - bad end to yesterday. Bolier gave up the ghost!
Again.
Moral - do not always go for the chepaest option.
I think it is the electronic controller that has packed in, by doing some basic fault finding, so shouldn't be difficult to find but damned annoying.

Hi guys :hello:

What is Costco? Is it in Braehead, coz that's just round the road from me?

I think this is a great thread.... and to think everyone is so near by

I'm gonna make my Christmas cards today and just have a lazy day around the flat :coffee:

Hi LittleL


Costco is like a Cash and Carry place.
You pay to be a member, but the discounts can be (although not always) excellent. It is miles away from Braehead, Springburn way
