Hi Snow White and Clearmydebts,
Made a blunder with my signature when done last post - hadn't actually made a payment but thought I had - oh well will get there. Was going to join the Make £10 a day challenge, does multi-buys count?
Don't worry about the sweets, I had an Easter cup cake and now feel unwell

Afternoon all
Great to hear you've all been making positive in-roads whilst im flitting in and out.
My diary (as in actual life schedule) is so freakin' rammed, i feel like i barely get 2 minutes to myself, i mean its good rammed, learning a lot etc, making new friends but its just taking up a lot of my time, and i just want a day of veggin!
Had a really rough night last night, was sick and then had to be up at dawn to catch a train to get to work, not my finest hour and only got home about half an hour ago! And theres loads to do in the house.
However got paid about 2 days ago so off to do some payments....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
