    Morning Again!

    Good stuff MM, your sig looks great. Fingers crossed for Quidco asap (and MBM).

    Yukkibear - i nearly fainted when i looked at my bank, i thought it said O/D and not in credit. :rotfl: Silly me. Fingers crossed for the extra money, you never know! :D

    Glad DD is feeling better Jen. You never know re: disneyland, its not majorly expensive if you get deals. My sister looked into it and found Florida a lot cheaper than eurodisney? xx

    Lol Amy, at least it's on the right side.:j

    Jen we kept meaning to get to Disneyland too before dd was 7 (she's 13 now lol), suppose there's hope for dd2 though.

    Centre parcs is expensive for what it is but it's lovely (just came back from long weekend), I would suggest waiting for offers.

    Still haven't checked bank acc, been too busy hoovering behind pc and sorting the wires out trying to figure out why my internet is sooo slow.:eek:

    Oh im so tempted to update my signature, even though i shouldnt.

    I paid some money off my credit card yesterday, but it wont show on there until Tuesday, and i wont know how much the interest charge will be until then either (or later!), so its not worth updating yet. But i want to! :rotfl:

    The same with my loan, its the last payment next Thursday (and then its finished! :j ) but i dont want to update my signature yet because i havent paid it... :rolleyes: Im so impatient.

    :rotfl:

    Fab news for your loan Amy.:beer:
    I get tempted to update before it's realised on paper too lol. I have been naughty this morning and put money to savings not debt, but I may put it on my debt when I get the next statement to spur me on, we'll see.

    Thank you!! I have just realised, it will be the first time in over 7 years that I havent had a loan with HSBC. :eek: That is actually quite shocking.

    Ooooo i might have a "new" sofa.

    I joined a site called freecycle which is basically like free ads but anythng you want to get rid of, you give away. A 3 seater leather recliner sofa came on on tuesday ,so i emailed about it. And she said i was first to email her (out of lots) and that I could have it if i wanted. Apparantly its in very good condition.

    Just need to get someone with a van to help me. :j
