  • Alll sorted.Money in the bank.. have paid off my AS account, and paid £200 off the asda. I was going to pay off the whole £229 we've got spare but I thought because of train costs etc I'd keep a bit aside just in case. Just have to wait for that to clear on the account and we can pay off the TV.

    So we've now got...

    £129.78 in the bank
    £40 for food (already had £10 out)
    £20 for petrol (as we won't need that much this week)
    £20 for my budget to get to the CAB course etc
    £49.78 for just in cases which I've put in the savings part of our living account.


    Can't wait for my CAB course to start... but not looking at having to be at the train station for the 8.52 train to brum... urgh... I am NOT a morning person..

  • Afternoon. :) Not long got back from the first day of my CAB course. Was really interesting but I'm all roleplayed out.. :rotfl:
    The money cleared off the ASDA card today and Ste has paid off the TV. :) Feels much better having it sorted now and we can concentrate on getting it all paid off in one now. :)
    I was a bit naughty today in brum.. ended up buying a coat as I was freezing to death, plus a top so spent £12.98 in all today not including the £6.60 train fare (Which I will get back obviously). The coat was a bargain though, a little Atticus hoody reduced from £39.99 to £10 :D I love a bargain.. and the top was £2.98 :D The trouble with birmingham is there's too many cheap shops! _pale_

    Hope everyone's had a nice day. Finished part one of my TMA last night and made a small start on my essay... hopefully going to get more of the essay done tonight. :)

    I really like the tattoo on your arm - it makes the paw look so much more feminine, which I think I remember you saying is what you wanted?

    Well done on coming up with a solution for the TV - sure you'll have it paid off in no time.

    Good luck with the essay.

    Sounds like you are really on top of things again IA! You are mega-organised, I love reading your diary for tips, I wish I could get my life in order. We are still treading a knife edge financially. We have had upteen repairs to pay for since moving into the house which although only 3 years old seems to have been exceptionally problematic. So far we have had the following break down:

    Boiler - £80
    Integrated dishwasher - £90
    Integrated washing machine - £108
    Integrated fridge shelves broken - £54 replacements
    But the worst has to be the most recent - sewage pump repairs: £400!!:eek:

    Never mind will soon be xmas, at least Mr Tesco thinks so if you go by the advent calenders and xmas chocolate tins!:rolleyes:
