    Better that it sits heavy, than sits so light it drifts upwards and out your mouth...your nose...your ears...

    I can't EVER remember vomiting out of my ears - impressive, disgusting but impressive all the same :o

    Planning for an NSD tomorrow so have ordered my book club book today. Have ordered it from Amazon who I hate :mad::mad::mad::mad: because they are followers of zero hours and non-tax paying morals which in my book are no morals at all. But they're handy :o
    I do have some!!!:D Morals :D

    Anyone know anywhere else that does cheap books or even reasonable books but pay tax?

    Off to the pub quiz tonight. Light has given up on bike but friend is giving me a lift. I have nice friends aswell as nice bosses.

    Had the amazon dilemma when DS went to uni.
    Sadly they were much much cheaper than all their rivals.

    Happy quizzing :grin:

    What you must do with Amazon when buying books (or any other item) is to compare what Amazon Marketplace says, with what the vendor says.

    So, for example - search for you favourite item. Click on the "69 used and new from 0.01p" link. You'll then see various vendors who you've probably bought from before through Amazon, along with (usually) Amazon themselves.

    So, pick one of your favourite sellers - Bob's Spanking Emporium - and look the name up on your favourite search engine. You find that Bob has his own website CaneAndSlipperWorld.com. So, go there, and look through his online stock.

    You usually (but not always) find:
    1. The seller's own website is slightly cheaper, because they're not paying Amazon
    2. The postage does not assume that 2 items = 2 x postage costs

    Either way, it can work out a bit cheaper.

    So apart from finding out about Mr Z's buying habits today:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:.....I also paid the £50 I got for health insurance off my HSBC card

    HSBC CC £4404 £1079 75% paid off 18% APR!!!

    So that total becomes;

    HSBC CC £4404 £322 93% paid off 18% APR!!!

    Going to try and live frugally and have a fair few NSDs before pay day in just over two weeks. Going home to cook a curry tonight so that will be another one for the collection.

    Collect curries?
    Last night it looked like I collected curries AND porridge. Today I have plenty of food!

    Was going to sign language but lesson cancelled. Didn't fancy a late night at the pub quiz so have cancelled that too. Could have an NSD and get closer to this months target :money:

    NAAAAAAH Going to go and get two mini bottles of wine (£3), clear more paperwork in the bedroom and put my feet up.:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Oh and have a look at the budget :D
