Keeping Positive's - Into the new years diary

That was brilliant re meeting, glad it went ok, at least you sound positive from it.
Its been an evening of filling in surveys, one poll only needs 30p to get the £40.00 which will come in very useful as dd started back at ballet (pd to xmas), but ballet shoes, tap shoes and leotard too small, so thats £38.00 needed, gd bit the skirt fits!!
Listed 10 things on ebay so far one buy it now (99p but a start), 2 r going, fingers crossed with the rest.

Feeling positive tonight, glass of wine and an hr of Robson Green.......

Having a CRAFT moment~how to transfer OD to a 0% card?

I think there are a few cards that will allow you to pay an overdraft. Cant remember where I saw it now. Maybe Kbarty knows more?

Good news got my birthday present from MIL. I knew it was bodyshop vouchers but was expecting £20 got £40 YAY that will really help replace my conceler and mascara. May try to be good a save some for xmas pressies but we will see.

£10 to OH for shopping. :mad: because I should have change and OH not quite up to usual standards. I avoided Tescos because I would have spent a lot more.

£7 on car wash a bit naughty but at least it was bogof .

Baked a HUGH lasgne that will last OH and I for three meals and have a large batch of bolognaise style mince frozen to be used up later.

Not done too well on the list but some stuff done. Thinking of taking up bodyshop at home. Just need to see what OH thinks and if friends willing to book some parties. Feeling good today. Need to get ready for work at least no backlog anymore.

sorry didnt realise I hadnt posted for a bit! Despite being at home dont seem to get much done! Good that work meeting went well. Have you been to the docs for tabs? How is the clear o/d challenge going? Fairly sure I'm going to raid the piggy to pay off some of the overspend...must be 300 in there!

Keeping_Positive

Hello ISOM and all :wave:

Using piggy to pay off overspend seems like a good idea. Better to pay it off with no interest charges than have it sat at home. Due to make appointment with docs this week. Keep forgetting as usual :doh:.

Clearing od going ok just about on target to clear the £250+ this month but odd bits keep popping up such as forgotten social club trips (remind me to see if I can get out of that tomorrow). Today DD1 just reminded me she goes on a school trip in April. £189 due :eek: by end of term :eek: again.

I have taking a note out of kbartys book and just done a £900 balance transfer to my MBNA card. It cost £27 and is interest free till April 09. Hope to clear in before xmas but it should cost less than od and be easier to monitor and get rid off. Minimal dd payment set up (not getting caught out again).

Still need to contact RAC to try some :money: there. Also want to get a quote off BT to throw back at Talk Talk to see if I can get a better deal now I am finally out of contract.
