    those totlas are amazing although i have read people including money they saved by not doing thing like tonight i stayed in instead of going out clucbbing and save £80!! i am just counting extra money i have made so i know although i am putting money i was going to spend but then saved into my savings account.
    we are off to the fair this afternoon so i expect to spend some money!! however my mum gave dd £5 spending money so that should help!! rides are like £2 EACH!!

    I reckon house prices will be going down a bit more yet, and if u get your raise that will be even better!!
    have fun at the fair jen-they are soo expensive now arent they!
    just done another bingo site through mbm didnt win anything but wanted to get over my £35 withdrawal threshold, hasnt tracked yet tho and it says that it should only take 5 mins? did i remember reading something about fri/sat/sun transactions being processed on mondays or was that another site?

    Well i watched a Panorama programme the other week and they were saying house prices will go down around 7% this year (if the credit crisis continues).

    If the credit crisis continues for the next 1-2 years they will go down 25%! :eek:

    I doubt it will carry on that long, but 7% is cool. Obviusly not for the people who own the houses.
