    I've remembered I have £20 in John Lewis vouchers from pigsback. I spent the other £30 on birthday presents for the family throughout the year and I should use the other £20 in the same way if I want to save money, but I fancy spending it on myself.

    I've seen the cutest furry puppy PC screen cleaner!!!

    How non-essential is that?!!!

    :rotfl: What do you want a furry puppy PC screen cleaner for? Just a bit of bog roll will do the job.

    Unless its really very cute then thats OK:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    oooh, I did it!!!:o :D

    It was £8, I spent £7.95 on a board game for my niece called 'Pop to the Shops' (get her into the right MSE frame of mind at a young age!!) to put away for Christmas with the books I got free from the Book People and a pack of Flip Flop floating candles to put with a couple of bits for my sisters birthday later in the year. The other bits I've bought her are a lavender heat wrap (free with a JL voucher) and a tin of foot soothing stuff in a cute 'woodlands tin' (£1 in the sale at Boots in January) as she does lots of running and cycling. That means I only have 1 more family birthday present left to find this year.

    I had 5p left on the voucher which they will credit off my next order - that would have to be a hell of a bargain to use that up without any extra spend!

    It caught my eye because it is very similar to a furry Springer lookalike puppy I bought my niece when she was born and she has been brought up to call it Charlie..........I know. I'm just far too soft!!!!

    Hows the surround sound going Z? I bet you have been watching a film with loads of shooting in it to get the full surround sound effect.
