    Hey,

    I'd really recommend you don't pay more than £10 for a slow cooker. Asbo and Mr T have the same one and they regularly discount it to £9. If you can't wait until they do, have a look in the big shop with the blue and red logo where they say "to your collection point please". They have very cheap ones in there too.

    Now that you've explained everything to your FM do you think you'll stay put?

    Yet another coincidence... I won £10 in Saturday's lottery too! They are cheeky aren't they with that email they send you to say "We have good news about your lottery ticket. Log on to find out" but don't say how much... and then until you can get to a PC to log on you think it might be the jackpot! :) Not that I'm complaining. £10 is better than a poke in the eye.

    Hey!

    Cool, thanks I'll make sure I do that

    Not sure, I havent had any replies yet to my request for a newplace, I'm still keen to look around and if it was the right place at the right place then I'd move otherwise I'm just going to spend a little more time in my room with my own company to try and avoid getting wound up!

    Ah nice one! We must have similar numbers!! yeah when I read it, my heart skipped a bet and there I was thinking it was my lucky day until I saw the figure was short of a few£000's on my account! haha I'm gonna transfer mine to the savings account when it comes through

    I also realised I had been waiting for a payment of £12.40 to go out that had already gone out! So I transferred that to savings to replace some of the money I used up in the month

    What happens if you get into minus numbers...?

    What a great thought - no money spent, payments coming in! Ha ha - not sure we are going to get there but you're headed in that direction! ;)
