    So with you there! I've had so many impulses to waste money too, nearly bought lunch today instead of making it and then nearly had a chippy tea...did neither in the end but really need to behave myself as it's a loooooong month!

    it's a lovely day here again so I'm trying to get everything washed and hanging outside before the rain that's forecast comes over the weekend.
    Just got credit card cheques from MBNA - thought they were going to stop that sort of thing... they are going in the shredder anyhow.
    Have huge list of things to do this weekend but no point posting them here as I won't be able to see them....mmm, good excuse for inactivity. I won't though - I am joining in the MSE house cleaning session this weekend!

  • I signed up to a Lakeland catalogue for free seeds, the catalogue has come though and no seeds..booo, now i will have to spend money on Lakeland goodies.:eek: No willpower me.:rolleyes:

    Have a good weekend Skinty. A thought re cheques, if they are 0% could you use them to clear rest of debt quicker?

    I love Lakeland but have to avoid it cos I have no willpower either! speaking of which - Beanie, I've put on two pounds!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: Must get cracking on the healthy eating.
    It was the BBC dig it website Bob, there's a thread on the greenfingered board somewhere.
    The only debt I have is MBNA Bob and I've looked at moving it to 0% but the 3% fee would be more than the interest I'll be paying - only a few more months now.:cool:

    Have a lovely weekend everyone, I will be tidying most of the time although I have a girly night out planned for tomorrow that I'm really looking forward to.:D :cool:
