Yay to the passports and the 3.5lb loss PLMBL :beer:
£148 in Primarni :eek::eek: xxMummytogirls x0 -
Hi,
de-lurking to say could you cover it with some stick on plastic mirror as a cheap and cheerful solution? You can buy cut to size stuff. I only know because of buying some for my car wing mirror in Halfords years ago, but I can see it on ebay as a £10 whole roll if you search for self adhesive mirror roll.

Oooh, thanks for that hex2! Will check it out. It's the only full length mirror we have in the house, so it would be handy to still have one XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Didn't realise it was possible to spend that much in Primani!!!! Have they got any stock left
Well done on the weight loss. I bet your forthcoming holiday is a great incentive.
Glad all passports are back. Must get on with renewing ours.
Great idea from Hex, it's the sort of lines I was thinking along but didn't know what in particular.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

I didn't know you could spend that much in Primarni either SA!! Both boys got several pairs of joggers, shorts, t-shirts, track suit style tops and DS1 got flip flops too. Dh got new undies, I got nothing!! A few things need to go back.
I'm having nightmares about being too fat to fit on the aeroplane/rides, or being miserable and grumpy in the heat. It's a definite incentive to lose weight!!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Today has been a NSD :T, much needed after my embarrassing Primarni spend!! Apart from taking the dog for a decent walk we haven't been far, just enjoyed the nice weather in the garden. Mummy, I've had 3 loads dried on the line today

£100 arrived from Utility company, so has gone into Florida pot. Nowhere near enough in there yet, and only 10 weeks to go :eek:. Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Years ago my mum paid for us to go on holiday to a caravan in Devon. We were skint and couldn't afford to go away that year. It was lovely of my mum to do it but what she didn't realise that skint meant skint and we really struggled to come up with the spending money, petrol, clothes needed, etc. So I know how it is for you.
Well done on the NSD. You can't beat Primarni for cheap holiday clothes though. Mr SA always does well in there. Personally I struggle with finding clothes in there but always get some great sandals, got 2 pairs for my last holiday £3 a pair.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Good luck with your savings for your holiday. Last year we were in a similar situation to you but somehow we managed. I did lots of surveys with prolific academic as they seem to pay better than others.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Just wanted to say go girl, all these small achievements are adding up....As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
