    Hi All

    Oh MM thats pants, sorry to hear about Lovefilm. :mad:

    When done Nicki, you are doing very well. And all the spends dont seem that bad, all for a reason. ;)

    Tubbs - have you tried typing "estate agents" in (and then your area) into google. Loads of them have rental properties. I found this better than any one site. :beer:

    Had a look for the city and with it been a big uni city alot of the lets and companys are mainly student rents, rightmove.com seems to be the best place as alot of the citys big agents put adds on it was just seeing if there was anything like which pooled all the agents.

  • thanks tubby, I'm just downloading the spybot now as maybe that's why my computer is running slow at the moment.

    Jen, its amazing how much a good clean out of stuff can make your PC work better. My last laptop only had a small hard drive and I would have to reformat regularly to get rid of the cr*p that built up quickly. It would always run so well for a while until I filled it up again. How big is your hard drive?

    Morning everyone :). I've had someone take me up on one of my second chance offers on ebay this morning so I'm almost at my £50... I got some seeds in woolworths for 60p per pack (a bargain, some should have been over £3), and I can plant the beans I got this year still so I'm going to do that now. I don't know if anyone else grows their own food but tomatoes are easy to grow from seed and you only need a grow bag... you get loads of them too. Six are 69p in our asda at the moment so if you can be bothered with watering them it's definately worth it in monetary terms.
    Finally bought a home
