    It needs to be general purpose or seed compost DB :) - just the ordinary kind you can buy anywhere.
  • Hi.
    Quiet weekend here catching up with rom coms due to bad back.
    Wow I have done sleeping and resting, also taken vast quantities of medication. Am floating as I type!
    Have a good Sunday night.

  • Hi All,

    Managed to get a couple of essentials out of my small budget so should be ok for meals this week. Mum treated me to the deal Iceland was doing, buy two Dolmio sauces get and get a free lasagne dish. It's really heavy and deep so very happy :)

    Relaxed Sunday at MIL so free dinner and pudding :)

    Check banking and bills due this week

    Wash on at 30 degrees

    Ironing (if I can be bothered!)

    Kids bathed and bed and chill out

    Hi Ally,

    Here's the description of the kindle I have -
    Kindle Fire HDX 7", HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB - Includes Special Offers (Previous Generation - 3rd)

    And looking at the notes on amazon I am underusing it a bit :o
    In all fairness - I got it to read with as I read a lot.....

    I feel like a luddite at times - I still don't like texts...

    Bob, Dh was with voda on a sim only year contract and was paying £12.50 a month, went on online chat to cancel and has ended up with more minutes data & texts and will only pay £8.40 for 11 months after one free month.

    That seems so cheap. I haven't been sim only for years. So literally you buy the handset but they still give you minutes and data etc for that?

    La E and Jonno - what do your other halves say when you raise the issue? It must be very frustrating. I feel for you.

    LOL. So that's a modern model.

    If you felt like it you could also use it to:

    Watch tv/films
    Listen to music
    Surf the internet
    Keep a diary
    Write notes
    Use YouTube
    Communicate through Skype
    Access your banking.
    Use Facebook or Twitter.

    Just remember: Luddites were awesome rebels.

    Yes, you can either buy a new handset or use one you already have. My bill, as a quite light user, is about £8.50 a month on O2 (maybe not quite this much, can't remember exactly off the top of my head), and I never use all my allowance.

    Hi February Folk,

    Back again.

    Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Month Nine:


    * Lots of Photogra-faffing. Free entertainment.
    Spotted some widgeon and shelducks.

    * Unravelled the mystery of the credit card statement. Minor book-keeping error on my behalf.

    * Popped into supermarket to use the toilet, spent 50p on donuts which was quite restrained as we were both 'starving'.

    * Home cooked roast for dinner when we got home.

    * Free treatment from OH on my back.

    * Read news online. Except there wasn't really any...blah blah blah...

    See ya later.
