Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone and thanks to Kaz for posting the list
I'm off work for a few days so thats good news on the housework front as I've more time and energy to do things, I get so tired when i'm working and it's easy to let the housework slide so this is good motivation for me, thanks again for the welcome everyone.

Today I've done my ususal routine, washing washed,dried & folded, dishes, petcare, swish & swipe the loo's, make the beds, put ironing away + hoover.

Hi all

Its Money Saving Diva's OH.

Just wanted to say hi and thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts and candle lighting on and around Fri 14 for the scattering of Sonjas ashes. It really was and is appreciated.

Those of you that knew MSD will know how keen she was to save money and enjoyed the thrill of cash back etc.

When I was arranging Sonjas funeral, I chose the Co-op and they told me early on that if the bill was paid within 28 days then I could get a discount on the bill. I thought that was good and Sonja would be pleased that even in death she was saving money.

Imagine my surprise when last week I received a letter from the Co-op to confirm that my dividends of £23 will be paid into my bank shortly!!

Surely thats dedication to the cause... saving money 10 months later!

Best wishes to everyone.

Ian

Ian

Thank you for popping by and updating us.

MSD would be glad you are still following her example and saving money. :j

I hope scattering Sonia's ashes on Friday was a comforting thing, (not too sure I am putting this correctly, but I am sure you know what I mean)

Best wishes Ian, pop by / in on us all when you want.

Kaz
