    Morning all,
    As a relatively recent uni goer, defo get plenty of USB sticks, I like the different coloured ones and also try to mark them to make them identifiable, as they do get mixed up and left. Regards the other stuff Beanie, don't know how far he is going away but if you re not sure about some stuff, could you say 'see if you need xxx' and I'll bring if for you on a visit/when you bring the washing home..... Can you still get tosted sandwich makers? Saved my life on first time away for home. :eek:

    Enough of all that, thanks for kind thoughts about mystery stranger, hope he's ok too...still worried about his car though :mad:

    Today is my birthday :T:T:T and I'm celebrating by declaring target reached as

    NSD 20:j
    :j
    Still not sure how many in a row but its more than 5 so may I claim the 5 in a row please

    Have a good Sunday

    Happy Birthday! xxx :beer:

    Ohh, forgot about a sandwich maker - I didn't have one for uni but my aunt bought us one years ago (I stayed with them as a kid for an extended break once and myself and my cousin used to have toasted sarnies for lunch when he came home from school) I don't use mine a lot as i always end up putting too many beans in and they leak all over the back.:o

    Up with the larks again, place looks like a bomb has gone off. Bathroom still drying out so panel still off the bath, plus i need to find a new piece of wood to go over the holes and we need to secure the pipe to the overflow to ensure it doesn't come back off. Guy should be coming to sort the leaky tap today but reckon the brick work in the garden will be rained off....which will mean another early start tomorrow. Still haven't turned on the light circuit downstairs due to the water leak. Oh the joys!

    Great work Fedup, sounds like you had a lovely day too. Could I ask how you calculated your birthday budget? I always seem to get it wrong.

    It wasn't for my birthday - that's in a separate savings account as I've been saving up £2, 50p and 20ps for mine for the last year as its a one with a zero this year! The day out was for mum's birthday earlier this year and we have a treaty day out instead of buying something she doesn't need. We both really enjoyed it.

    I have a £20 a month Birthday budget to save and the same for the Christmas present budget. First time I've done it this year and its worked out great to have the money to spend instead of trying to find it from somewhere. Plus it keeps me on track and not overspend.

    Happy Birthday too!

    Well, today will be another NSD as I have no pennies left until payday on Wed so should get a few more in this week
