    Turbo Lister is great, but it costs more and like all frugal MFWs, you can't stand for that! :)

    Turbolister is actually free to use. The charges come by way of listing fees-turbolister is regarded as a professional listing tool so if you use turbolister you don't benefit from the free listing promotions.

  • Hey all - lovely to come in and see the posts :D

    PB - boo! to clutch but good that you will save money on the actual cost still x And woo! for wine :j Hope it is fermenting as we speak :D (i also hope i've got the terminology right :o)

    I know re. satday and study but i just had the energy and it was either that or a date for me with vino and the tv - i saved that for 10.30pm ;) Thusly ensuring i also woke up refreshed as i had a glass or 2 rather than a bottle or 2 :beer:
    KC - yep kitchen has commenced although my Mr started to complain about the other room i was due to start that is mainly full of his stuff :mad: Enough said :mad: - i had not told him of my plans to tackle any of the rooms either :(

    I have made some progress today on my list :) and have done a couple of areas in the kitchen already :T The dumping ground of the back door and the dumping ground of the fruit bowl :T

    I may need to leave starting the assignment until tomorrow - i need to finish the study first and am feeling a bit yuck! - don't worry i know why and i'll feel better tomorrow :D
