  • Good Morning :),

    A wet and gloomy day here.

    For all BTL wannabes, there is a free book here - ‘Successful Property Letting: How to Make Money in Buy-to-let’ (RRP £9.99) by David Lawrenson.

  • Hi Tilly, when is the right time to plant garlic? TIA.

    Sorry I'm not Tilly! The old wives tale goes that garlic should be planted when the clocks change - so you can fit in two planting sessions a year! I just plant in the month when the clocks change and that seems to work fine!

    Thanks MRN for your reply :T. So I should be planting the garlic by the end of next month. This will be my first attempt at growing garlic. :)

  • Thanks Tilly, for your tip about broad beans. Will try to find some seeds/beans on sale.

    Pay has hit my bank account. So, have made an OP of the designated £2K :j I am taking a break from fleabay, as my last sale of £19.99 has not been paid and I had to open a 'unpaid item' case and it hasn't been resolved yet. On top of that, no response from the bidder in spite of repeated prods. :(

    I have now registered with preloved following MRN's advice. I have lots of books to sell. I used to sell them on GM, but lately with the postage increase, I am making only pennies. So, I haven't bothered with them. Might as well give them away to CS.

    Have a good day!

  • And 02 Priority app is showing M@S Dine-in for £8 this weekend. HTH.

  • Good Morning :)

    Past two days were NSDs. Today, I am planning to get the M@S dine-in and also pick up some bits and pieces from MrT so that I can use some MOCs that are expiring on 30th Sept. I have come within the grocery budget this month, so that is a good thing. If only, the petrol prices went lower, I can optimise on my fuel budget too!

    Have a good day, everyone! :)

  • My morning has been quite productive so far - decluttered a bit and cooked some stuff. Hope next weekend is FLW on fleabay so that I list some. So far, made around £10 on fleabay. No NSD yesterday and today. Yesterday I went and bought the M@S dine in and some YS bargains. Today I have bought 3 clematis plants from V@n Meuwen. I saw a duo pear tree over there, but then the discount code had expired yesterday.

    Have a good day!

  • Today I managed to get a few MrT magazines which have coupons for laundry in the middle. Of interest is a £1 off Lenor voucher. In some stores, there is a £1 version available making it free. Even otherwise, there are some variants (21 washes) for £1.50 making the cost only 50p. Most of the coupons have a long validity until Feb 2013. I am hoping there will be promotions for these items any time in between. So, be on the lookout for the magazines, folks.
