    you're right that we should comment where they'll see though. we all should do that.
    Relax, Breathe, Love 2014 Challenges:Cross Stitch Cafe Challenger 23. Frugal Living Challenger. No buying cleaning products. I used MSE advice to reduce my car insurance from 550 to 325!! & paid it off in full!!!
  • oh I'm chuckling away here - I know one of the "benefits" of being in online forums is that no-one really knows who's who (have been to a few "get togethers" with people I've "spoken" to for a long time) but it must be really odd for Lesley that we all see her. (I'm watching at 9:30 on +1).

    Popped to the laundrette today - £12 to wash the duvet myself (£14.50 for them to do) but I can buy a new one at A*gos for £8.99 so looks like it'll be another new one (and the dog will have another "new" bed to sleep on)!

    Quite tired tonight so packing up shortly - have been running updates on the laptop since 4:30 (been a while since it's been out so LOADS to do)!

    I'm enjoying this weeks episode more i have to say as this couple seem more representative in terms of what they can do to cut back.

    Better that than people spending £3,000 per month they can't afford.

    Also, I really like that lady's pink hair :D
