Glad everyone survived the driving test
Sorry to hear you're going to need to hit your savings SH. I think you just keep your figure and take off further paid debts cause you're still paying off the debts even its from the savings (which you earnt in the first place)
Hopes its good newsTMD re the job would be great if you could do some stuff from home.

Morning ladies.
Shelley sorry no gossip. I didn't go out in the end. My best friend went into labour and I was her birthing partner so I spent the evening in the hospital instead :rotfl:Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

Hi Doodledo - how lovely that you were your friends birthing partner, I hope the birth went well and that she had no problems (I lost lots of blood with all 3 of mine, with DD3 I was in the delivery room for over 24 hours as I lost 2 litres of blood), anyway, what did she have?
Just done my 2 free daily scratchcards on B Bingo, I hardly ever get more than 10p, I think I wone £5 once which was great and a couple of 20p's. Must start doing the Moneybackmadness daily clicks again as I haven't done them for ages. Need to buy Travel insurance so got a few quotes through Moneybackmadness yesterday so will take out one of those. The cheapest was £20 for 5 of us.
DD1 has a birthday party to go to at lunchtime and has to dress up as a Princess she's so excited and keeps asking when it's lunchtime.
Anyway, best get on as she has to be there at 12pm and I've got lots of tidying up to do yet. This site is so addictive, keep checking my Ebay account too. Think I might give up with my Business account as I have 34 items, lots of Best Offer option but I'm just not getting offers and can't even seem to give the stuff away.
Roll on 23rd when we go to my parents for a week, I can have a good rest and get some fresh air and hopefully the weather will be hot so we can go to the beach, I really need some colour to my pale skin for my brothers wedding in August.
Not sure what will happen with the temporary job, I'm hoping that they will just want me to register with the Agency they use and maybe give me some work when I come back from holiday if they have any. Going to definitely try and get lots of Ebay stuff done today, just need some motivation.Sealed Pot Challenge #0160 -
Morning TMD. It was her second baby so was quite quick and all went ok. She did really well bless her. She had a little girl and she is beautiful.
It was a long night but so worth it. Off to see them this morning for some cuddles.
My DD is always the same when she has somewhere to go, always asking "is it time yet".
Well done on the Ebay sales I am hoping to get back into it once I have moved house as I have loads of stock from when I was a business seller just haven't been in the right frame of mind lately.
I too have lots of tidying up to do. Now I work full time in the office things are really starting to slip which isn't good. Shouldn't really be on here lol.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712

How lovely, little girls are great, enjoy all the cuddles.
I have been selling childrens clothes but haven't sold anything for ages (business wise). At least next year my tax return won't take much working out. I've still got to do the last tax return, I'm not good at updating things.
I'm going to concentrate on my Personal account and get all my tat listed, at least it is free to list for 99p.
Have a good day, must go and get on with tidying up and hunting out the sellotape to wrap the present up.

Shame no gossip but sounds like you had a wonderful reason for missing the night out. Hope Mum & babe are thriving and enjoy the cuddles.Looking for the perfect home and saving to make becoming a MFW easier

next lesson next friday...
we're trying to look for a little car that costs next to nothing for me to practise in between lessons as im learning automatic only...
DH got his application for fire service as well so am fingers crossed that comes off come september....and we're going on holiday....... im ashamed i booked it, had a real moment of madness and just not caring at all.....but its done now... just got to work out how to pay for it LOLWealth is not measured by currency0 -
What's this I hear??? The whipcracker has booked a holiday!!!! And after all the things you said about not discussing holidays on here!!!
Ha ha, no I'm only joking. You deserve one, everyone has to let go once in a while. So where are you both off to?
On money matters - thanks to rent from my tenants I have only £360 left to pay on my Australia tickets and then I will be able to dent my paper hat figure again. I have some work expenses to claim so that should clear the £360 and a bit left over. I am getting broadband re-connected tomorrow to the new place so I hope to earn £200 this month, and with OH's jsa and the next month's rent from the tenants I hope to clear the Virgin card. Have to remind OH to claim his back tax as well, as that can go off some of my RBS card.
Things are beginnig to look up moneywise. Just need OH to get a job and that will make things a lot better!
Hope everyone is okay.Total (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947
