Morning W,
£5.99 a month? You don't spend anything on yourself apart from buying the odd coffee so is it really that much in the scheme of things? You do have to have some pleasures and you don't drink, go out apart from with the we ones,etc. That said, by all means phone Virgin and see what they say. I phoned last week and they gave me a new TIVO box plus £25.00 of my package. They might just reduce the cost for you.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
Thank you TF.
I didn't get chance to call today.
I'm so tired
Have found a few places we could go at weekend. Will see what the weather is like though first.
Quiet couple of days before then though I think. Got some things to sort out at home that can keep us busy enough.
We have had a truly wonderful day and I just feel so lucky to have the smalls.
Night all

Afternoon, A slow day today. I have more antibiotics hoping these kick !!! on this infection because if these don't work I have to be admitted :cool:
Slow day cleaning and things. DD is at her friends and DS has been watching a film in his room. Me and youngest have played with the dolls house most of the day in between the chores :rotfl:
The boiler has decided to give up again so tomorrow morning will be spent waiting for the repair guy to come. I think I might leave grocery shopping until Monday now I can't go in the morning. Have looked around for some offers for something to do at weekend. Has anyone ever used Groupon? They have a local place on there and it makes it half price but I've never used it before.
Hope everyone is well

I've had a few not-so-good experiences with Groupon I terms of poor quality goods, but we had a city break through there once which was lovely apart from they had to change our hotel for one further out of the centre. If it's for a local attraction you probably wouldn't get either of these problems.

Hi W, if you do use Groupon you can get cashback for it through Qu1dco too. :j I've used it a few times for restaurant & drinks deals and not had any problems.
I love the sound of the dolls house, if I bought one do you think I could pretend it was for DS? :rotfl: I'm sure he would like it....in several years time.
Hope your antibiotics work, fingers crossed for you. XxSuccess is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £10,546, Car loan CC 0% BT £5200. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.0
