  • Hi,

    Just showed the posts to the OH

    He said to tell you guys not to worry, and that we would not be "letting it go to our head" and would continue to be using Tesco Value loo roll :):) Should I be adding that to my sig - "proud user of value toilet paper" :):) ?

    Here is the Chart for 1st February 2010 felt strange marking myself down as MF.

    Don't forget to PM for mid March for the next one. Anyone who would like to be added back on just PM me and I can do that.

    Chart is looking good TG :T. I forgot about update :o , so will do next month instead.

    Went to Harrods yesterday and saw some kittens like yours - v, v cute :D. 1k each :eek:. I suppose at that price you could justify the £1,200 small pet bed they were also selling _pale_.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    WHAT £1k we were quoted £650 so that is extreame, got mine for £750 for two so that is a bargain then. Also £1200 for a bed they probably wont sleep in not very MSE.

    Don't worry if you missed the chart this time the next one is 12th March.

    Interesting reading that chart isn't it? I can't believe that we're nearly at the end of the 3 years. It's almost my payday so I will have another couple of % off the total! Not forgetting that we don't have a council tax payment this month OR the water rates this month.
