So pleased to see you back here.....

I lurk a lot around these parts......and travelling to MFW was exhausting me
Nice to have everyone in the same place.

Sorry, I had to post and run earlier. I'm glad (purely selfishly) that your cow print backside is back round these parts . I actually had not realised just how tight your budget actually is, and for that I salute you. I can't actually see where you can make any savings at all?

1. Current account £8. What do you get for this and have you used it to it's full £96 per year potential? I'm sure knowing you as I do, it will not be a needless expense.

2. Home insurance £17 - is this the cheapest you can get?(although this is how much mine is too if I paid monthly).

Errr...that's it. I'm not very good at this <goes back to slagging x-factor contestants off on facebook.

1. I round everything up to the highest £1 so the actual monthly cost is £7.50. I also get a £5 Reward payment into this account so it's only costing me £2.50 per month. For this I get phone insurance, breakdown cover for Fred, home emergency cover (essential when you've flooded your downstairs neighbour as often as I have...) and travel insurance, so I think I get reasonable value from it.

2. Probably. I'm too lazy to shop around properly for it and I get unlimited cover for B&C which is pretty good.

Hi Flyin' and welcome back - though i'm sure before long you'll be back on MFW :j

I too am meant to be listing on e-b*y today - i *have* to do it as i really need the money So hoping the few new bits i've lifted out to sell get bids and go *fingers crossed* please people

Having been out last night and got a bit merry :beer: *hic* i forced myself out on my run today :eek: so have managed to list just 1 item Am going to aim to list 15 new items today in total and then pop my re-lists on later I don't even have 15 new items to list so this will be a bit of a challenge :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Right onto listing item no. 2 and then i really need to have some lunch :cool:

Will pop back later to see how you are going on

Welcome back it didn't seem right without you :0

And I kept forgetting that you were on the MFW board so not been keeping up with your exploits as far as I am concerned the mortgage is a debt too so I never intend to leave - sorry folks you will never be rid of me as the mortgage is a monster

I shall be keeping an eye on your spendy elves :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
