Bum! Bought a new digi box today as the previous one had died. :oops: A bit of a slip there as OH was wanting to replace the broken one. Made in China too. On a unilateral declaration of non-spending and will resume in the correct manner tomorrow. One of my earlier posts mentioned a fab pair of carg...

Actually looked at some books today whilst I was out and I walked away from them which is practically unheard of . My birthday is coming up and as I have most of everything( and a lot more, to my shame) any money I get is going into the Bank until I decide what i really want. And that's the crux of ...

Hi Ina Unfortunately I did see people buying this kind of gift ( the cat food gift set) last year. Sad thing is the pressure is on every year to spend more on the "bigger and better" Christmas than the one before. I remember a few years ago a supermarket chain advertising DVD's as an ideal...

My babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slightly off topic a bit but I moved house in Feb of this year and due to the sheer amount of stuff we had , I had to rent a storage unit. I'd wheedled out a load of stuff which went to charity shops, friends, recycling and to my shame landfill ( alhtough that was very little) Not once in the two mo...

I tend to do this although I admit that books can be my weak point.

I probably have enough stuff for now but I always have a really good think before buying anything clotheswise

Just a few lines to introduce myself. I'm a hard-working, stressed subpostmaster in the North east of England. Having said that I do enjoy my job even though things are a bit uncertain at the moment. For a while now I've been really interested in recycling and the effects on the enviroment. I'm also...
