    sorry to hijack PAP but are you sure Gemmzie? I cancelled my D&A during mid year, when I called to do this they suddenly started offering discounts... I'd call and try to cancel and see what happened, they can only say no.

    Not 100% but when mum tried to do hers they said they needed a new prescription. Will try though

    with asda at least it's within the last 12 months. don't know about others but call and check with specsavers - like I say with D & A they offered to half the price (they are expensive toric though) and I wouldn't have need to do anything.

    sure is gf... the prob is i kinda messed it uip this month but hey ho :rolleyes: no more ebay fees for my cards anyways :D
  • morning all :D just thought i would give you a little update...

    budget ~ so far i have at least an extra £60 for argos and that doesnt include any driving money not used, if (touch wood) we only have the lessons that we have decided on i should have £140 too to throw at it which means going into december (payyday) i would only owe £10.72 :rotfl: the bed was purchased the 20th of august so i would have payed it of in just over 3 months (in my wage months) or if i find the £10 from somewhere just under 3 months :j i am so happy as it then means going into december with a clean slate and back to saving next year :cool:

    spending ~ now this was a biggie for me, i told you all to not allow me to spend whats not budgetted and do you know what i havent :D and that is a task in its self 5 days down 25 to go :cool: dont get me wrong i have sat here looking at online shops and thinking mmm i could buy that but i just closed the browser and went downstairs for a min or two :D

    cards ~ cards are coming along nicely i do need to get back into the swing of things though but having this cold has kicked me, i managed 2 last night :rolleyes: looking at making some today however i am wrapping some xmas gifts because my cupboard is just over flowing and then i need to do some maths coursework, both pieces are due in in four weeks and i have only half completed one :eek: i will be fine though

    have a great day all and take care ~ i would blow you all kisses but i dont want my pals getting ill :rolleyes:
  • afternoon all, everythings going to pot :rolleyes: grrrr germs :rotfl: anyways done not much really today, wraped prsents, cleaned room, sat here and thats about it however i did also make a frame for my webby although i have no idea what to charge :rolleyes: the paper was prob 15p the flowers were 40p and the frame was 44p = 99p so what would you ask for it?
