    Right, I'm officially underway. I've just transferred £75.90, which would have been this month's car loan payment if we hadn't repaid it, into the loan account, so total debt now stands at £4924.10. :T

    What is this "matching" thing of which you talk?
    Is it just a girl thing?

    Matching bin, microwave, breadbin, toaster and kettle = happy Snaggles

    Mismatched kitchen appliances = stressed Snaggles

    I don't know why really :confused: but matching is VERY important! :p:D

    I have a blue kettle, a yellow toaster, a orange popcorn maker, black kitchen scales, a brushed aluminium juicer and a silver steamer.

    Bin for the worms is dark green, bin for the rubbish is grey plastic, and the bin for the glass is black.

    Have you come out in hives yet?

    Your coffee is cream? Mines like a dark brown. I though all coffee was that colour...

    Lol Keren....hmm, maybe I should have added 'bins' to the title!

    Jak - sounds perfect, glad I'm not the only one with a thing about matching 'stuff'.

    Zed - Strangely I really don't mind if other people stuff doesn't match, I'm not a snob at all. I wouldn't dream of walking into your kitchen and thinking 'uurrgghh, nothing matches'. I just find it stressful if my own things don't match.

    I have a similar issue with wires. I can't bear to see wires in my own house, they are all fed under the floorboards or channelled into the walls, but if I go to a friend's house and they have wires all over the place, I wouldn't even flinch.

    Never said I wasn't odd! :rotfl:

    Snaggles, I'm so glad you've started a new diary. I've really missed your Jaffa Cake chats :D

    None of my kitchen appliances match. Am I a failure :confused: :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi Snaggles
    Just wanted to say good luck at work!!
    I start back after maternity in 4 weeks and my son just went to nursery today for the first time - hes 8 months now - to see how he got on eeekkkk!!! Im quite scared now of returning to office politics!!
    Still it will be fab to see a fulltime wage coming back into the house once again. I've been single since during my pregnancy and have been living of savings so will definately be some much needed money!!
    Oh and I'm with you on the bin but I got mine half price from Argos in the Boxing day sale for 24.99!!! hehe
    xx
