    all are new with tags from Next, some I bought in the January sale some were from the summer sale, but I haven't worn any of them yet and I checked my account online and it has gone up to £180 :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Can't you just return the january stuff and get back what you paid for it off the account? I thought they were ok for returns within a certain time scale.

    You only get 10 days to return stuff from the january lot. I haven't got half of the invoices anymore either :rolleyes: hopefully though as its all still got tags I should be able to get back what I paid for it, hopefully a bit more ;) the skirts cost me £10 each I think and they were £35 and £38 originally.

    The quiche recipe was from a book called Meals in Moments ... very basc cokbook, written for students really. Its my level though ;):D

    ahhh - I see. Good luck on ebay, I find Next stuff always sells quite well, I'm currently biding for some jeans for DS too so hopefully I can ebay them again once he outgrows them in a couple of months!

    I was having a look through The Paupers Cookbook earlier so now DS thinks we're really skint! Books like that are great for basic recipes without pricey ingredients.

  • Don't worry, your DS will soon settle down at school.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
