    Wow, that is some list! :eek: Well done! :beer:

    Hope you can get a better deal on your broadband. :) My DH used to work in IT so I let him deal with it because he's very particular about what he wants from his broadband package. :cool:

  • Hello Paws I can't remember if I've introduced myself on here or if I've just been a creepy stalker! Anyway you are very entertaining although if you're going to be that productive I'll have to unscubcribe because you're making me feel very lazy by comparison.

    Have a great week!

    Spend less now, work less later.

    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    I wish my husband cared more. He just keeps giving random suggestions that are nearly always faintly ridiculous. This applies to most areas if our lives. It's a good job he's handsome.

    Nope, nope and nope, I didn't weightlift today and only did half the ironing. I did mulch three big flowerbeds but that's just playing in mud which is fun so it doesn't count.:D

    I did pack my bags though. And was remInded just how annoying I can be because guess what I found? That's right, my cashcard:mad:
