Making chicken feed of my mortgage

sheilds

Well done -MWC -thats a great total:)

A little tip when posting clothes-if you have spare plastic bags (I don't have so many now that the charges came in so I just buy a roll of cheap swing bin bags)
Wrap the item in one-tape it-then double wrap it in another and tape again.
Its very lightweight and study enough to protect the clothes.

Try to keep the clothes flattish(fold no more than two or three times if possible) as Royal Mail price on depth as well as weight.

Good luck.

Wow, that duck dish sounds delish! You are so lucky your DH is a decent cook.

Yes, I'm very lucky MCI... he doesn't clean toilets or mow the lawn and he's rubbish at DIY but he's brilliant in every other way :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I resisted for all of 5 minutes :rotfl: BUT rather than pay T&M £14.99 for a plant in a 9 cm pot, I've bought it elsewhere in a 3 L pot for £12.50 :money:

That is absolutely the last plant I buy this year - it has to be or I'll have to start digging up the lawn :rotfl:
