    Today I have spread the word!!!!!!! Neighbour had been told by friend he should claim back bank charges and had given him a template. He was well chuffed as he was offered £135 and was going to accept. When I asked how much his charges had been he had no idea...... (DK what this template was then?????) turns out he has bank statements going back 12 yrs so has been sent off (with my favourite pink highlighter :A ) to go through 6 yrs worth.

    Listed 4 items on ebay, 2 selling already :j :j :j :j for grand total of 99p :D . Plus £1.39 postage. So, only need a further £7.66 to have over £50 in paypal for a free transfer :T :T :T :T

    Spent £19.66 in co-op, but had £10.25 in savings (looked in my trolley and only items I had paid full price for were local paper and some ginger, everything else was BOGOF or reduced :o ). Cooked chicken (£1 off) has been decimated and carcass is in slow cooker so yummy soup tomorrow (thai chicken, hence the ginger!)

    Working at home tomorrow. Currently negotiating (with myself, best arguments that way as I always win :rotfl: ) how high I am allowed heating on. Side 1 saying keep it v low, side 2 saying b*ll*cks to that, you're saving £10 petrol by not going into office. Third side (yes, am multi-faceted:p ) saying remember if you're cold you'll drink that posh tea all day and that probably costs more than gas...... Expect side 1 will win......
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
