    Wouldn't dare if you are on my case Hypno:D:rotfl::rotfl:
    ...its a hello from me...

    And a hello back from me:hello:


    Just having a little rethink on things folks as i have to re do all my finances to take in our current situation.:o
    I reckon i am ok this month for stuff but next month is going to look very lairy at the moment unless i win the lottery:cool:
    So thinking cap on for Cunning plan mark 900 and summat.

    So far i reckon on our ever decreasing budget that i can make savings of £80.
    Sky can go even though it is only £17 it will be a saving that builds up over the year and can pay off something.
    Electric and gas DD is going down again after winter saving £30 ..without asking:T
    Mortgage comes off fixed rate soon and we will save quite a bit:jdon't know how much yet.
    I put the council tax onto 12 monthly, so £20 saved there. If i pay off a small cc that wll save the £20.
    Budget for meals again savings of over £50 to be made.
    If Mr.B finally gets shut of his car, well that is over £350 to be saved with tax refund, car payment and insurance, not to mention cheaper fuel..it is the way to go i think, well i know.:cool:
    So potentially further scope for a lot of savings to be made.
    Will update later.

  • Forgot to say, i was very cheeky today.
    This time last year, i had to fix my oven door and ordered stuff online. They also included a free oven light ( well after code it was more than free) but it was the wrong one. It would have cost me to send it back, but kept forgetting to do so. I took it in town today and swapped it for the right bulb, profitable and cheeky, but he wasn't bothered in the shop.....:D So i have the right bulb for nothing...every little helps:j;)

  • Well have just spent the afternoon [STRIKE]nagging[/STRIKE]persuading Mr.B to get out all of his credit card statements so i can reclaim back charges etc.

    Gawd almighty, the carp he has spent on is unbelievable as is the amount of late fee payments etc.:oSo, whilst i was going through, i kept thinking OMG how much:eek:..but kept calm. So far off one credit card there is about £550 in charges to try and claim back. Onwards and upwards, am also putting in letters for unused accounts to try and find out information.:o

    Will need some luck. Final total off two credit cards was £700 worth of charges:confused:Hopefully he will get some back, but to have to claim them in the first place:o On one card in 2007 he paid late for 8 months:eek:makes my heart bleed at times.
