    Good Morning :)

    Done a TT of £1.30 after ensuring that all the money in my accounts are as it should be.

    Planning a big washing, ironing, decluttering and gardening day.

    Have a good day, everyone :)

    Got a few nice-smelling soaps - this, this, this, this and this from Marks for 50p each.

    What great bargains US - all out of stock online unfortunately. I have a massive jar (probably 40+ years old) in my bathroom, which I fill with lovely soap, whenever I come across a bargain (currently has more regular than luxury soap). Perhaps if I sell all my toot at the car boot tomorrow, I will stop off at Marks in case there is any in store:)

    If you're free, I would be more than happy for you to 'man the stall' and sell my valuable, collectible object d'art. However in Scotland we refer to this as shittycrap:D

    2 NSDs during the past 2 days. I am trying my level best not to go near the shops. I've added another £2K to the fee fund, so I am very nearly there with the fees for Michaelmas term :j

    I am eagerly awaiting ds2's AS level results on Friday as he will not be back from his trip abroad until Thursday when the results are published.

    I am also happy to state that I have lost a bit of weight (around 2 kg) after paying close attention to my diet over the past few weeks. Hope I can maintain this when the quorum is there at the dinner table and I tend to eat more so as not to repack leftovers back in the fridge.

    Today at M@rks, I saw this dress on sale, Size 12, RRP £99 for £12. It was very near closing time and so I am sure it will still be there tomorrow. So if anyone wants it, I can get it for you tomorrow for the cost price + postage. HTH.

    Thanks US :T. I'd take you up on the offer but by the time I'm a size 12 the moths would have had it :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
