  • oooh - ETA - I had a Mini a couple of years back - a 1.6 Cooper D Clubman - I absolutely loved him and cried when I had to get rid of him (needed a bigger car!). Great cars!

    I want a Mini Cooper S they look great fun to drive, I have had a car in almost 2 years and I miss it. Yes I did cry when I got rid of my last car too :cool:

    Hi Emz,

    I've been lurking for a while - glad you have decided to put yourself a bit further up the priority list at last! :j

    Just reading your 101 list - I haven't seen 50/50 but will look it up :) I used to be a real one for making the most of life and not wasting it but have got a bit bogged down the last few years, think it's time to get the balance back again :D So I will get listing!

    good luck on your DF journey but also with all the fun stuff too! :D

    Hi :)

    Always nice to see someone de-lurking. I can highly recommend 50/50 - it's such a good movie. Also good luck with your 101 list. Post a link here when you have finished :).

    I am seriously considering a Mini. I'll test drive one early next year. I had a Toyota Yaris a few years back. He was bright blue and I called him JJ (to do with his number plate). He was such a brilliant little car and I sold him when I got my first mobility car - I shed a little tear that day and still miss him :(.

    Just claimed another £10 Amazon voucher from a survey site - so I have ordered my friend's birthday present. I already have a card and wrapping paper I can use. Seeing as I've ordered my OH's valentine's day card for free too, I am all done until mid-March :).

    Good day today. Just claimed for another £10 voucher from a survey site. So I now have £18.51 in Amazon and am still waiting for another £20.

    Just need to get a cash site to payout before March.

    Yay - I have more of less finished my Christmas shopping now :j. All I have to do is get £40 out next Wednesday to put in money wallets (already purchased).

    I got my OH's mum's slippers. They were 25% off, so I paid less than £15. His parents are staying over tomorrow night. They are due around 1pm tomorrow, which means we're having a massive tidy up tonight/tomorrow morning. At least they are only staying for one night.

    Received a £15 Amazon voucher that I have been waiting for this morning. So I now have £33.51 in my account. That will go up to £38.51 tomorrow when I get my £5 voucher from the bingo :).

    :mad: Flipping men :mad:. Last night, I cleaned the kitchen. OH did nothing. This morning, I have already cleaned the bedroom, including changing the bed and dusted the front room. OH is watching Jeremy Kyle. The only thing I have asked him to do is clean the bathroom.

    On a more positive note, I redeemed for another £5 Amazon voucher last night (taking me up to £43.51 in Amazon :j) and have just redeemed for a cash survey site. The amount is $50, but I think they send it out in local currency, so fingers crossed I should get around £25-£30. It takes 6-8 weeks, so it should definitely be here before my gran's birthday and mother's day :).

    I don't either sometimes Lou. If the bathroom isn't cleaned before his parents come down, then tough luck. I will tell them the reason why.

    Just redeemed for another £5 voucher on the bingo though :j. Vouchers are coming from all angles at the moment :D.
