Hi Evan!

I'm completely with you on the LBM and coming back with more debt (I can't admit mine to anyone yet... I'm to embrassed)

But we'll do it and be better people for it in the meantime!

Oooo and keep up informed of the wedding plans! I have some newly boxed and never used cake pillars if you need any!! (they weren't mine! and the couple who didn't use them are still married!)

Thank you very much, that's really kind of you, I haven't got a clue what they are though, I'm presuming they're those things that you stand each tier of cake on?

They be the things.

Thank you for your help. The thing is, I know this seems like I'm trying to get out of it, I'm not, but I am quite busy with work. I mystery shop, when suitable assignments come up, use cashback sites for my online stuff, and simply can't get my head around matched betting! I actually thought the challenge was to pay £10 off something, but that's a payment a day challenge :rolleyes: My brain fell asleep!

No probs, I just wasn't sure if you'd realised what it was. I think my brain is asleep now - forgot to put the link in my last post!

Checking in....

Spends, bus fare, kids pack up bits £8.14.
Random amounts of money that are seemingly unaccounted for in bank £56.07.
Amount needed to shuffle due to decorating expenses approx. £100.

So, I may need an advance from my wages, due to spending money that really should have waited until the end of the month to be spent in order for me to pay the correct bills on time. Basically, bad money managment on my part. All will be fine, so long as whatever advance I get now and use, leaves a surplus to put back at the end of the month for next months wages. This is normal for me, every month, and a habit I really need to get out of. I guess I've still got a 'I want it now' mentality. Decorating wasn't something we couldn't afford to do this month, just something we should have left until the end of the month. Bad habits are really difficult to break, especially when my manager has such an easy policy regard wages advances, maybe I should tell him to refuse me any further ones.

Well done on the NSD - a good start to the month!

And oops to the doctor's appointment, but think of the calories you have used on the bike ride!!

Thanks Hypno, I did, while I was chuntering to myself , in the galeforce wind, on the way home, moaning about missing my dance lesson for no reason. Then ate a flake to compensate

But not with my brain obviously.... I ordered OH's jacket to be delivered to our local store, no delivery charge, and arranged for the one 40 miles away :rolleyes: whoops, luckily a quick call to them sorted it out. Honestly! My best pal is pregnant, but I think I've got brain sympathy. Pregnancy made me stupid, so my theory is, her preganancy is making me stupid agian. Works for me.:p

Checking in....

Had to buy some gravy granules today. :rolleyes:
And, get a taxi home form work, since I'd bought home all the out of date tins, they can be used still and my boss would simply throw them in the bin. If I'd have bought them it'd cost £50+ so the taxi cost negates it, there was no way I could cycle home with it all!
Started the Xmas shopping, got lil' man a pool table for £20, bargain!
