hello everyone :wave:
well done poppy :T:T
just back from the school run after an afternoon of trying to order an elsa costume from the disney store :eek: can't believe how quickly they sold out & that they don't even keep their stock levels updated on the site :eek: finally managed to order an anna costume for my niece for her 3rd birthday next week though :T would have rather got the elsa one for her as it's sparkly just like her :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

My PP results from last night's click and collect. I was hoping it would be closer to a tenner but ho-hum. In the end £20 spent and seven back ain't too bad.

Okay - good filler T vs Morries:T.

Yeah, the joy of being a FTB, we could have had a shorter one but we chose to have the option of overpaying as much as we wanted, as and when we wanted, rather than having a large monthly payment which would have no leeway and would only get bigger when interest rates rose.

We got the kitchen units for £660-ish instead of a grand, so I'm well chuffed with it. Just got to get the worktop, sink and eventually a new oven and it'll be all shiny and new :j We looked at extending too, but it's just not worth it as we're planning to move in a couple of years or so. I did get a dishwasher fitted though instead and I love it SO much, best purchase we've ever made

We have been reducing the official payment each month instead of term too. Just never know do you ?

Hopefully be here for more than five years so we will see.

No room for dishwasher here - enjoy !!

Had a very productive NSD managed to paint the downstairs hall and then my Friend up the road rang to say the kettle was on and she had made me three jars of marmalade:TThen a knock on the door and a box from Moonpig with a beautiful Bouquet and card from my DGrandson who is at Uni and got all emotional as I do love and miss him so much:A
Going to have dinner and then have a catchup

As far as I know they were already comparing vs T, though I stand to be corrected! (It is T's strawberries that are/were going N/A vs A.) Don't suppose the ones on the APG are picking up 2 for £3 at M are they?

I need some Morrisons confirmation before I do my shopping - has anyone got Cadbury Triple Choc Roll comparing £1.60 vs 50p at M on the APG (wombles maybe)? Many thanks!

Also are the Jazz apples still working and if so are they going full price together with the White Potatoes? Thanks again.

Exactly, you just never know. We had a 3 year plan, so we'll see how things are after that.

There's not really any room for a dishwasher at ours, the freezer and tumble drier are in the garage and we're loosing a cupboard and a half to make space, but it's worth it because I get really bad eczema on my hands, so washing up by hand isn't really an option

Have you wallpapered your downstairs loo with the overpayment letters yet?

Was this for me bubbs? Thanks if it was. x

If it was I think I am catching things easily because of the long term antibiotics I had to take, my immune system is still not up to scratch.

Now what I was taking them for was definitely a stress related thing GP has called it my stress button before, when things get really bad I get a skin rash. :eek: But I am all clear now , had been for years too so I was surprised I got it again after so long.

I blame David. Or DM:D

So. Do I go home and hit the books for an exam on Thursday or do I go home, get changed and go up the allotment?

Sadly I already know the answer :rotfl:

I'm gonna have a half day up there on Thursday and see if I can make a dent in the weeding

I got one of these very cheap from T one time, and it is the most useful thing I have every known for clearing weeds, I prefer it to digging or forking, don't know what tools you have got but I would not want to be without mine now:D
