have a fab time CMD!
Ive been out and about today and done my jobs.
And now Im settling down to watch my recording on sky+.
Redundancy money still hasnt been paid in so I've sent yet another message about that. Am annoyed because next week is my area managers last week to get it sorted....
Our washing machine also got replaced yesterday (i knew it wasnt working right!) so we got a brand new one from our landlord unfortunately it wasnt a washer dryer so we had to buy a tumble dryer yesterday, but im going to use part of my redundancy to pay for that so its ok really.....
Not much else going on really....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
couple of payments cleared for me, £147 for the car loan and then I paid the odd £69.27 on my credit card.
Paid in cheque from our old deposit as well, so when that clears in DH account that will be off my i.f com card, and i'll feel like i'll really be making some progress with a larger payment....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
