    Is everyone enjoying Father's Day? We haven't done much due the Chicken Pox, we've just had dinner and are going to take the girls to the park for a little bit and kick a ball about and try and stay away from other people. My dad lives 2 hours away so haven't been able to go and visit.

    I've started a Debt Free Diary today so am looking forward to adding new entries with all my debt busting, I needed something to give me motivation, it will also be great when I am debt free/nearly debt free to read back over it.

    Anyway, hope you all enjoy your Sunday evenings.

    Hi all.

    Just back from a day at the beach playing vb. In Finland father's day is slightly different time, so haven't had to worry about that one.

    CMD - glad you found a nicer flat. I could do with a change, but can't afford to do that. :(

    TMD - well done on starting a diary, I've been thinking about that for couple of weeks now. Reading other people's is quite motivating. Hope you had a nice time in the park as well.

    I've about 3 loads of washing to do. Going to Glastonbury on Wednesday and need to get everything sorted...

    Thanks SH, and good morning to all!

    Day and a half of work left this week. Off to Glastonbury tomorrow! Woo hoo! Coming back on Monday so nice long break.

    Went on my Gala bingo account yesterday, which I did ages ago for cashback. I still had £3.30 left there, not much for actually playing bingo me, just wanted the money. Then thought, could I actually withdraw that? And I could, so in the next 2-10 working days, my student loan pot will get that little bit extra. Have counted everything I have coming in and should comfortably make the £200 extra I want for August payment without having to worry about ebaying. So most of what I get from ebay when I finally get to list after coming back from Glasto will be extra. :)

    How's everyone doing?
