  • Moved some money around to buy eldest a refurbished laptop for Christmas. Have £9 left in my account until payday (Friday). Have no plans between now and then so will be fine. Heading off to the gym now. Would rather be in bed but needs must.

  • i have not been all the way through you replies, but one of the ways i got my mortgage down while still gettings jobs done was to have my built in wardrobes and kitchen resprayed, i used a local company to me that were excellent, it was about £625 for the kitchen respray and £160 for the wardrobes.
    Looked like i had just spent £££ on a new kitchen makeover. Unless my cabinets need replacing due to damage i would not look at a new kitchen again, i would always use this company.
    I would highly recommend and know they do travel, have a look at Gallant Restorations and see if its something that would benefit your saving while renovating.
