  • Hi gf, can you get a replacement box on ebay? I know some people sell their telewest boxes on ebay, dont know if there will be a sky one though?

    Just answered my own question ~ doh. Might be a bit expensive though. But could be cheaper than a repair?

    Plus I need to change the front tyres on one of the cars and Costco do them for £148 all incl and Kwik Fit quoted me £220 bur could maybe do it for £200 so massive savings there. And am gonna switch the BB for a cheaper one as well

    hi there

    just to add a thought re. baby milk - have you tried getting it from your gp surgery, i think they generally sell it at a low/cost price - worth a look x

    The best spending diary is a small notebook. Both carry one - and a pen - every time you spend ANYTHING, no matter how small, put it in at the same time as you spend. It will take a few days to get into the habit, but it will be well worth doing.

    e.g. Chewing gum - 50p
    Car repair -£150.00

    Don't bother to organise it, simply keep all the amounts in a column on the right side of the page so you can add them up. Forget receipts, simply keep the notebooks and check them at the end of every day.

    This is when you will find where your money really goes.
