    It looked good but they only did the white.......they never seem to have a choice on QVC.

    Yesterday I read a couple of posts somewhere about people getting a good Kitchen Aid buy.....I'll go and see if I can find it again for you. ;)

    Thanks - definitely want a funky coloured one so white wouldn't have tempted me

    From looking at the discussion, it seems the Classic is just in white and its the Artisan that is pretty colours and also has a better motor.

    Well I'm glad I didn't succumb to the teleshopping after all! Like you dreamerbea, I want a coloured one, and I hopefully will have chosen WHICH colour by the time I've saved up :rotfl:

    Thank you fozzie for all the links and info - very helpful :A

    Chased DR as have put in an order for delivery next month and didn't get my free gift for recommending Marrbett last month:mad:, and they phoned stating that they haven't received a referral, so need to give all the details again and will put in my free gift in next month's order.

    Seems to be that they never get anyone's referral so keep an eye out for your free gift otherwise it might just not be received,:(

    edit: Just to say in their defence, that there was no problem, they did apologise and will send it without any hassel!

    Just to echo that, I phoned as my referral messed up (mothership you should phone them if you haven't had yours for mine!) they've sorted it all out and my lovely gifts arrived with the order on Monday :)

    I have an order coming on Friday if its not there I will email them, I bought DD2 some mince and reffered her as well, so I'm expecting 2 lots of gifts, DD1 + 2 both need chopping boards .

    I went to the bank yesterday to increase the amount I pay to my ISA to £350 from the end of April, its been £200 previously.
    I set it up soon after joining MSE, theres £5,400 in it at the moment, and there wil be another 2 payments of £200 before the new amount is paid. All this money used to go to the SM. I was spending £500-£600 a month on groceries before joining the GC. I'm down to £200 pm TOPS.
    Even though I've always done the 2nd Purse, I only used to do it with groceries, and not meat , makeup , gifts etc. I cut out ALL the convenience meals/deals, I was shocked when I totted up what was being spent on these, mainly from M&S. Some of my GB had to go towards my utility bills because of the increased cost. But I can still skim £350 off it. I havent told my husband about the ISA yet LOL, I want to wait till I reach my target. He He, he thinks I'm still spending around £600 pm.
    We are eating better now , I'm spending so much less, I was NEVER able to save before, so this is great for me.

    Anyway I'm aiming to reach £10.000 by April 2013 in my savings.

    This week was really weird for me shopping wise I only needed milk and some fruit, I spent £6 from my GB. And nothing from my 2nd Purse.
    1st Purse £114.19 Monthly GB
    2nd Purse ££100
