Have gone for an LG47LH5000. Paid £697.99 for it through dixons. It is reduced by a couple of hundred pounds and registered with Quidco before I ordered it so that is a first. Will keep you posted when it arrives. My day off for next week is Thursday so I will be playing with my new toy then all being well.
If the woman doesnt actually lose out on the kitten then there is no reason for her to hang on to your money so good luck with that and keep them away from your handbags :rotfl:Mortgage Free as of 31/5/11 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

Good luck with the telly I sure it will be fab. Also just seen your signature you are doing well on your target for this year.
Lazy Sunday morning but did go to BodyPump yesterday morning, good class but ache today. Friend might be coming for lunch today and the inlaws come down at 4pm for tea. Kittens are playing on the bed might have to sweep the kitchen floor as they do make a mess. Thomas is fine with us now hardly ever scared but my neighbour came over yesterday and he freaked again. Hope he is a bit friendlier this afternoon with the visitors. Still only been a week.
DH is off to get the papers now so better get up and dressed.

Hopefully I will be pleased with it. I did do a lot of research before orderering it. I set myself what I thought was a realistic overpayment target for the mortgage as I was more likely to stick to it. Cashing in the endowment policy and reducing the mortgage by the proceeds has made the biggest impact into the outstanding balance.
Hope you are still enjoying the kittens and had a lovely time in DorsetMortgage Free as of 31/5/11 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -
Endowments were just not right we had one but cashed it in. Actually got £5000 and used that to clear some credit cards. I am sure you can still get to your target.
Kittens are still lovely and full of fun. Thomas freaked on Saturday when neighbour came over but when my friend came over Sunday and stayed for lunch he chilled out with her a bit. Then Sunday evening he was so chilled he slept for hours next to my FIL so I think we can turned a corner with him. He also looks like he has grown into his ears a bit more. Might try and post a new picture of him and you can tell me if he has.
Other money saving news found the spare magnet for the catflap so dont need to buy one and two freecyclers have kitten harnesses so can pick them up for free. Other not so good news the central heating is playing up so will need a plumber out and I smashed up the new frame I bought at IKEA. Ended up with a hole in the wall and no frame.
Of to HQ today but my meeting has been canceled so now need to get there for 2 so no rush. Nice actually. Staying outside town as hotel was full but they have a gym and pool so that might be nice. Not sure about wifi we shall see.
Also of other important news only had 1 glass of wine with lunch that means I have only had 6 glasses this week so please with that. :j:T:j:T:j

Thanks they are lovely and so cute and very distracting when you are trying to do something serious.
Just got into my hotel but cannot access my emails for some reason. Stucks. Meeting tomorrow isn't until 10am so will have time to chill. Got upgraded to a superior room which is nice but not overly so. Look forward to have dinner here looks a superb restaurant.Save £12k in 25 No 49

No forgot my kit as I was in such a rush to leave only just made it for 2pm:eek:. Hotel is OK got upgraded to a nicer room and dinner was fine. Breakfast was a disappointment thermos flasks for tea (hate that) never nice when made in a cup with barely hot water. Toast waiting under the heath lamp on the buffett and rock hard eggs even when they had just come out from the kitchen. Never mind I am not paying but will mention it if they ask when I check out. For £10 I expect better.
Meeting all day today so probably a late return home. The two freecycler with the kitten harnesses has now been in touch picking one 1 tomorrow evening and 1 is dropping 1 off tonight. Never asked for anything on there before so nice to see it actually works. Have some stuff to give so must get that sorted.
Anyway it is 9am I should make a move.Save £12k in 25 No 49

What a morning just going from bad to worse. Thomas had a very smelly accident on the bed really wish his tummy would sort itself out. Stripping a superking size duvet at 6.30am in the morning with a sleeping DH who is no help is not fun.
Just had a bath and only a tiny bit of hot water so had to shower in the cold. No heating upstairs so official now the heating is not right. DH did book a plumber to come on the 5th March so only another week and half. Hopefully we will make it.
Well they say things come in 3's I am not planning to leave the house except to get cat litter so fingers crossed all will be well now.
Of good things now got the kitten harness Thomas was totally unaffected by having it on so will try it out at the weekend. Picking the other one up tonight. Freecycle is so cool I have only ever given things away before.
Going to the gym tonight so that signature will look a bit better.Save £12k in 25 No 49
