    Morning diary.
    I'm looking at fridge freezers (I am so not paying nearly £700 just to get one that's integrated), so having nosey at ao. Never used them before but they seem to be highly recommended by people :)
    Found a nice snazzy stainless steel one for about £500 (seems a bit pricey really :o ) but luckily I don't need to buy one for months yet :)
    I do love window shopping :D

    Ooh dipdap - do you know TCB are doing upto 15.15% cb at ao :T

    Hey DB :)
    Just had a nosey (forgot about cashback) it always seems to be 'up to' although the item I'm probably looking at has cashback of about 2% :rotfl:
    Still better than nowt :T

    Hello diary :)
    Getting a bit twitchy about the new house again :o
    North facing rear garden is a big no no apparently :( (seems to work well for me as I'm never a big fan of he heat :D) and it also has a bathroom with no window.
    Getting worried now we're buying a house that nobody would want to buy off us in the future :(

    Hey dipdap,

    glad you and the kids enjoyed the Maccy D's treat. Every now and then it is nice to treat ourselves/kids. Having it occasionally does make it more enjoyable.

    Love your countdown to things, payday or overdraft days hehe

    the house move won't be long - ooh exciting times
