    Thanks Goldie - I'm pretty pleased about it :D

    Just having a :coffee: here and coming to terms with being awake :p.

    I'm off to test out new mattresses later. I always feel silly in the bed shop testing them alone so a lovely friend has agreed to come and help me. I doubt I will buy one today (as spare room not ready for it!) but I wanted to know what kind I like and a good idea on prices, delivery times, etc

    Lovely sunny day here - hope it feels as warm as it looks when I go outisde!

    I received a £5 survey payment which I have claimed as 'Amazing' ;) vouchers. Otherwise no money news - payday still a week away for me.

    I read on someone's diary this week that someone recommended Astonish mould cleaner - and that you can get it in £ shops. I just wanted to say thanks for the tip - saved me a pretty penny :T I can't remember who said or or whose diary so I am hoping they see this instead :)

    No money news *sigh*

    I haven't seen it on here but have recently bought some and it's fantastic! Couldn't find it in my local £ shop amd it wasn't quite as bargainous in Mr T. Well worth it though.

    :rotfl: Mr E - they must indeed ;)
  • Just caught up on your diary BW, you certainly have been busy and seem to be very organised. :) Well done on switching tariffs, hopefully it will save you a few pounds. The new mattress sounds exciting. I'm hoping to get a new bed later on in the year so I may be coming to you for some advice - the last one I got was an Arg0s special many years ago, so going to a 'real' bed shop will make me feel like a proper grown up! Sorry to hear that someone has treated you badly, hope you're feeling a bit happier now.

    Have a good week,

    The energy club is great. It saved me a good but each month. I think it was £50/£60. Have a look at your mobile and internet tariffs too.
