Bargain Rzl have you tried Argos, there was loads reduced in my local store when I went today.

Actually if anyones looking for a Vax http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4057042.htm they were just putting these out, not bad for £60!

(((Paulies Girl)))) & ((((Scuzz)))) Hope a new job comes along soon Paulie's Girl. There is the likes of https://www.fihs4jobs.co.uk and the Jobs paper but I've only ever seen that in Asda. Unfortunately Durham doesn't have many decent agencies.

Madmum Welcome

DP took the boys out with the dogs tonight, saved me doing it, plus also got some much need cleaning done (studied this afternoon instead of cleaning) Have a support group committee meeting at 7pm so I best go and get ready for that!

welcome to madmum33.

Great day at college - got a half day and spent the afternoon at a garden center with one of the girls that I'd not really got to know yet. She's really lovely and not the confident person I thought she was.
Moggins - really pleased to see that fund going up. Don't be in a hurry to spend it - you may need some funds to help you set up in business.... That said a nice pamper day would be good for you

Hmmm, had come onto the pc to do my homework.... half hour later and I'm still on MSE. Bad kaz
hugs,
Kaz
Yakky da shez - didn't watch the programme, but did see the start when he looked rather disgusted at having to drink OJ at the pub, lol.

No OS advice, just wanted to say I had a great weekend. Parents came to visit, and OH cooked a great steak dianne,Saturday we spent a day at Chatham Maritime museum. tickets are £12.50, but last a year, highly recommended, and had a meal on them in the evening. Sunday was spent clearing the garden of loads of crap, which took a couple of hours, but was very satisfying. I then roasted a (yellow label) leg of lamb.
Wasn't a super expensive weekend, but meant I went back to work feeling good.
No advice, nothing like that. Just wanted to share it with others.

Evening Guys!

Not had a good day today-really overdid it yesterday:o ....have taken max dosage of pain killers im allowed:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ...but tomorrows another day:D

Dysons customer service is brilliant. Last week I called them to ask to buy another hose for the hoover as the other had split and wasnt sucking up 100%...Ive had it for 4 years and the cover only ran out last year..typical! Anyway lady from Dyson was ever so pleasant and sent me a new one free of charge which I received this morning;) ...happy bunny!

Cleaning company havent got back to me today which Im disapointed at-tried to call them, but only out of office reply ....maybe he genuinely isnt there but OH has stated that if he doesnt get back in contact by Wednesday then he will make a nice polite call to him:rolleyes: ....so macho:rotfl:

FIL ventured to Lidls today ( not us) and bought us 6 x 4 tins of Heinz baked beans (£1 for 4) and 3 boxes of 4oz x 8 100% burgers (£1.39)....he didnt want the money either:D ....and I havent broken any rules with the no supermarket challenge as we didnt step foot in one:p :beer:

OH is going to ask the milkman for another 2 pints of sterilised milk in the morning. I love this stuff and has high proteins in it which I need in my diet-at 52p a pint, I dont think its too bad.

Have a few jobs to get done tomorrow including reading for my next essay due by next week:eek: ...making some calls, banking, ironing at least 6 items, ringing more cleaning companies:cool: and some other stuff that I cant remember..lol.

DD went back to school today and looks alot brighter. She had some HW to catch up on, but will do this over the next 2 days so she doesnt knacker herself out too much.

Anyway, I have to go and have a cuppa:D Had a burger for dinner as wasnt too hungry. Also, we had a friend over last night and he bought me a huge bottle of Baileys and box of choccies;) ....loverly!

Hugs to all.

Forgot to mention that OH bought an 8 berth tent yesterday off Ebay ..it is 8 meters in width:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ....I have never been camping and dont know if I will be a suitable candidate...well thats my excuse and im sticking to it:D

Evening everyone :hello:

Happy birthday to smokeybabe and Mr Pink :beer:

((((hugs)))) to scuzz and Paulie's girl

DH is in Spain with work, so I'm home alone. I bought myself a ready meal for supper tonight. It was a yellow sticker item and my alternative was going to be the chippy, so I've actually SAVED money. Honest. :rolleyes:

I had a lovely day yesterday at a point to point, with my parents. It's sort of amateur horse racing, if you've never been. There was a stand there of rare breed meat from a local farm. I got myself some Lincoln Red steak mince, which will do for a chilli later in the week. My dad (who won a little bit of money) bought me a Jacob lamb meatloaf - not that expensive, but the horses seemed to all have 3 legs if I backed them. It's sitting in my fridge and I'm going to divide it into meatballs and freeze it like that.

I had the fright of my life (nearly :rolleyes:) this morning. I went to a school and at break time I heard my mother in law's voice! She was also doing supply teaching in the next door classroom to me. It was a shock and although she's lovely(ish ), she was forever chatting to me when I was trying to sort out the class for the next part of the day. I stayed with the same class all day, but she was asked to move to a Year 5 class in the afternoon and she nearly refused. This put me into a bad light with the school and I'm slightly more desperate for work than she is! Luckily, the class teacher and TA seemed to think that I'd done a wonderful job, so at least they may put in a good word for me.

Unfortunately, I'm getting a bit hungry, so I'd better put the ready meal in the microwave.
