    Good to hear it KC. The Skaye Free Bet Club and SJ 'Take £5 Tuesday' are good regular ones to get started up with, can usually make £8 or so across those (higher if Skaye give you more than a fiver a week free).

    Just back from the Chinese supermarket where I spent £37. I blame MCI, her inspiration entirely :)

    I can, but I can no longer eat lobster. Did some reading up on them and they're far too interesting to make food from :eek:

    Just catching up and thought I would throw my two pennies in on the "Which" report. I used to be an ardent which reader until being involved in seeing how a report was put together and now realise there are commercial pressures at play, regardless of what they might say. Sorry I know you left the topic a couple of pages back but I'm still so cross about the way they put a report together that I only have to see mention of someone reading a report and I get all cross.........climbs off hobby horse, dusts self down, returns to interesting contemplation of Chinese supermarket.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
