  • Stuntman, you are ruining my resolve to stay single,:rotfl: you sound so happy! (doesn't help that an ex has been in touch, swoon)

    I have no change in my purse and am trying really hard not to break my notes in purse! all change is in pots......

    I am going to find my Martin Lewis book and have it as bed time reading.

    And I have discovered a strange urge to bake....am now obsessed with saving money and eating better. sick of being ill randomly!

    have a lovely Wednesday people, only two day till the week end!

    Well, it's going well so far Buffy, I have had a grumble at my mate for setting me up with her, but only in a good natured way!
    Since I've started to use the bread machine and started baking my own stuff, I feel alot healthier. Get FAS's cake recipie, it's lovely.

    lilmissmup,
    Why don't you split the difference & put half into your sealed pot, that way you get the best of both worlds, you get to save a tenner & you've also found a tenner, and you'll feel good about it! Winner thats what I say
