Willow!! Ask around and you will find. Also added bonus that it annoys lots of people lol! Fast growing, can be shaped, coppiced, woven like wool.

In the meantime the gazebo suggestion with pretty decorations would be so frustrating for a nosy person, as they can hear, but can't see what's going on ha ha. It would drive me crazy .

I will try the sainsburys bubble bath.Thank you. :A I have easy excema, just comes with the spring hay fever, gets bad, gets better. I feel for anyone who suffers worse. It's not fun!

Will do a willow search thanks and will be keeping an eye out in charity shops for some really annouying wind chimes:rotfl: Thanks for the tips, I have so many things wrong with me I cant be bothered to list them. I'm 38yrs old and I feel like I'm already in old age, as I get so ill. But hey I'm still here:T
On a more positive note I've put another £60 quid across into my savings account.

Mr Fluffpot managed to get his mobile phone bill reduced by £20 each month yesterday - same tarrif - he just went into the shop and asked!

Feeling a jealous of his money saving skills, and that nothing ventured nothing gained, I called my mobile phone provider and got my monthly bill cut in half to £7.32! Took 2 mins

Hurrah - another £27 to add to to the spreadsheet next month

Fluffpot can I ask how far into your contracts you both were? And what network? I'm with v fone and I don't think they will let me reduce ky tariff ):

I'm with Virgin and Mr Fluff with Vodaphone. He was offered an upgrade (so I'm guessing his contract must have been up) but declined and so got the discount

I have my own handset so am sim only

Adding up, and it's my best month yet! £440.66 for April, and a total of £1334.65 for the year to date. Very nearly, but just not quite, two-thirds distance.

Well done all for progress so far, and onwards and upwards for May!

Sorry i havn't posted any updates but im still going with my pot! I started off the year well although April hasn't been a great month mainly due to my crohn's disease being really bad but im feeling a bit more upbeat for may Im upto about £700 so far so about on target. Going to try and get lots of bits on ebay on the next free listing - too late for this month.

Ive got £130 coming in june from a bond maturing so that will help along the way, ive got quite a few vouchers ive collected aswell although havn't included in the total as there not physical money although they will be such a help for christmas shopping.

I will count up the exact amount this week sometime, happy saving everyone

Money off/discounts: £97.61 (included 3 for 2 on M and S suitcases for upcoming holiday, plus 10% off these as well! - very MSE!)

So my April total is 793.71 - the best yet!
