    Been looking for something on the internet this evening and ended up on ted talks from a blog post - watched a really interesting one by Adam Baker about getting rid of stuff so I now have a further resolution not to buy anything unless I really need it (as opposed to want and can justify by selling stuff), it was all about using the money for experiences not things so it wasn't all MFW stuff but if I buy less in general it should free money up for that as well as money for experiences... but there was a lot in it about how we all have too much and have full garages etc - guilty as charged but I shall work on this :o Apart from that 30p on on!poll so back up to £2 :D

    Yep I have the same issue myself, I am NOT buying any more body lotion etc till mine are all used up, I did get a huge feeling of satisfaction from using a shower gel up the other month, and I want to feel that again when I get rid of the whole stash

    El, DS has a huge stockpile of shower gel so I might start smelling manly pretty soon:p! This year my cupboards shall be cleared...

    Today's good news is that my car insurance cash back seems to have tracked:j:j bad news is that there seem to be reports of them being extremely slow to pay.... But I am getting a bit wary of cashback sites of late and feel there seems to be a lot of companies taking a year or more to pay if ever so I went for the cheapest quote, so even if they never pay up it's still a saving for me:D would be nice if all the companies owing me finally pay up but not holding my breath!

    Well I've been out for a run and done the shopping today - huge shop for me of nearly £50 but have enough detergent for months and had to get some herbs and stuff so they will last ages too :D.

    Must start studying soon but need to get ice cream started first...

    Well to be fair the icecream only took 5 mins - it's just I have to go beat it every 45mins:p which is leading to a little left on fork each time and quite frankly for such a simple icecream it is fabulous:D! I have a three part thing to do for college and I've just finished one part, another is similar to something I've done already so just about to check that so only really third part left:T:T

    Butti, can you please edit your post further up with my name in?
