    ahh now i see your point kath... i will remove that from my list :) and the bridge... yep i think its daylight robery too... say 100 cars go over a day thats £500 a week, £2000.00 a month £24000.00 a year... now to keep that bridge running i dobut very much it costs that :rolleyes:

    I'd be willing to guess it cost a few million to put up in the first place!

    [edit; £8 million]

    Anything to do with estate/letting agents or solicitors.

    Bras - such a pain, and now they reckon they last approx 60 wears or six months :eek: Like I can afford that all the time!

    Girlie monthly stuff - you can get condoms for free so WHY why do we have to pay for tampons they are more bloody essential :mad:

    Try this one - ask your Doctor to fit a "Mirena" coil - it has a mini pill in it; stops the little blighters saying hi to your eggs and also acts as a barrier method (for those nasty things you really wouldn't want to catch!) - perfect contraception and guess what - IT STOPS THE MONTHLIES !!!!

    Haven't had a visit from "auntie" for 6 years now since DS was conceived. Went back on it after he was born and then came off again for 2 months to conceive DD (almost 4) and then straight back on it as soon as health visitor said "green to go". - Must have saved a fortune by now!
    Decluttering junk and debt in 2016
    Debts - Vanquis £3500 1/1/16; DFD - when I'm dead with £100,000,000+ interest :eek: UPDATED Feb 2016 £2739.80; DFD June 2016 :j
    Next - £1500 1/1/16 DFD about 10 years time. UPDATED Feb 2016 £1371.16; DFD July 2016 :j
    THE GOAL IS TO HAVE NO DEBT BY THE END OF 2016

    Hi

    I hate...

    - paying for parking, I will drive around to all the free parking spots I know even if it means I have to walk a bit further.

    - paying for taxi's, as there is never consistency over price and the prices are far to high anyway

    - having to pay an excess on insurance claims

    - paying more money out to go on holiday anywhere when it is school holidays

    I refuse to pay for...

    - Cable or SKY - we have freeview and that is enough

    - brand new car tyres, I get part worns imported and save a fortune

    I refuse to pay for overpriced coffee from one of those 'coffee shops'. Make your own, take it to work.... Job done, and a fraction of the price!!!
