    When the food stash is that big, you have to have something yummy somewhere in it! And it all has to be eaten, after all, so you're only being dfw.... hope you're feeling okay.

  • Got letter and all I can say is :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j etc etc.

    Will not blow it on rubbish although very tempted with a new tv or the cooker. Plan so far is to pay mbna £775 to clear, give Mum £100 towards heating bill, let OH off his money (sounds like its gone anyway :mad: ) and pay for a golf day through work. Still planning facial and pedicure for me then the rest to be saved although I fear a dentist bill soon.

    Thats brilliant news re the bonues, and if u need the tv or cooker, grab it now, sounds like its being spent wisely, make sure u get the money off oh, not sounding mean, but if gets away with it once or even twice, then the next time there be a new excuse, (sorry hope u dont think I'm speaking out of turn, u seem to be doing everything possible u can to debt bust) xx

  • Sounds like he has the £30 to make up to the £120 but not the additional £20 so I can live with that. Leaning towards the TV purchase. Cant decide if its a good idea or not :confused: . It will cost £450-500. Will still have enough for the other stuff but it will pretty much take anything remaining.

  • Got the £30 and have taken the plunge and got TV http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.203-3450.aspx. Its on a 6 month interest free loan so I can keep the money in savings earning a tiny bit of interest and maybe even save up some more in the meantime.
