    what does purge mean?

    Is it de-cluttering the house?

    *take out of boot the tent I bought yesterday in sale at B&Q - £15 (and my half will come out of my £20 cashback from my cc ;)) so to reduce petrol costs ;)[/COLOR]

    Excellent. I always take fly spray camping. Seal the tent at night, spray, leave tent til safe to re-enter, re-enter tent for night, et voila! no getting bitten overnight.

  • Morning everyone,
    Thanks DNMS for starting us.
    Should be a day off for me but picked up an extra backshift this afternoon, :j glad of the hours boost as i've been on part time hours (15-20 a week) for the last couple of months and i'm starting to really struggle.
    Shopping to mr T with list in hand and vouchers, no impulse buys of things we don't need.
    Bedding in washing machine, will hopefully get dry on line.
    Have had fruit and herbal tea for breakfast (Back on diet today as i'm back to 12st 4lb) :eek:
    Walk dogs whilst sun is still out (rain forcast for later)
    Post Ebay parcel (bought and paid for within 30mins of being listed last night. Was chuffed at the £20 but spent £10 back on Ebay on a Victoria Frances jigsaw!.:o This will have to be my treat for the month.)
    Try and get another couple of listings on Ebay.
    Wait for postman as i'm still waiting for new pin entry machine to arrive as I can't access my online banking. :eek:
    Smile and feel grateful for what I have, been in a poopy mood lately and need to snap out of it.
