    • Spend some 'me' time on the sofa filling in trashy magazine puzzle section
  • Hi all
    Pay day for me too :j
    But mostly all promised :rolleyes:
    Postman just broughty a BIG parcel which is my DSs joint Christmas present - promise you won't tell them! - it's Guitar Hero World Tour. Better still I've saved and paid for it already - hurray! It's a bit big to hide though so will have to be creative :D
    Now need to go and earn some more money!

    I forgot - I baked some cupcakes for the office to raise money for children in need . And yesterday I realised that for six months I have been paying double amounts into my egg account, as I hadn't realised that I had both a DD and was doing it manually too. NUMPTY! So that's why my overdraft hasn't been reducing....

    I haven't done very well today, but i'm blaming the tonsillitus! The dr sorta looked at my tonsils and went "oh dear" in the way they have.

    money saving....hmmm well I bought soluble paracetamol (dr recc'd as it works quicker) in wilkos which was cheap, and am having a storecupboard lunch today. But I spent £15 on a vanilla spice body butter. The only good thing about that is that Body Shop body butter is the only thing that really works on my feet, it'll be a cheap way to feel pretty and it will actually last me 6 months. apart from that I'm a bit ashamed of myself, spending £15 on a luxury.

    Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. Hope you are on the up soon. As for being ashamed of buying yourself a treat....DON'T!!! You are allowed to treat yourself you know! And Vanilla spice body butter sounds divine!!

    Thanks Miss Piggy! It is. I caught a waft of it as I walked past the shop and it sucked me in! I also kinda bought it as an alternative to a cream cake and a new top, in terms of cheering myself up. Thanks for the well wishes, i should be fine, it's odd though apparently they don't prescribe anti-biotics for tonsillitus now unless it gets really bad. Hopefully should clear up before my first day at work! xx

  • :rolleyes: Talk about that Friday feeling - my office is empty...where are they all hiding?

    Yesterday I found 3 sheep wandering lost in my willow fields - not my old sheep - just three sheep - think they were out of a jaunt?

    Getting back on with some work

    - grr went home at lunch to find that checking my cc statement is great, but if I hadn't cancelled the dd (so they say) then I wouldnt have missed a payment and been charged £12 grrr.:mad: Therefore obsessively checking bank only works if you remember to pay the card - infact I had paid £500 to it when paid, but turns out it was a day too late - the bleeeeeeeps.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Afternoon all and a special welcome to all the newbies, nice to see you on here.

    Mickey, have a nice time at the craft show, with all your £2's.

    Happy bday for tomorrow miss piggy, enjoy a fun filled day doing whatever it is you want to do on your bday!!

    Piq, wow that is such a crazy yet excititng plot line, perhaps perceived differently seeing as it is real life. However if we only live once then we should all do whats right for each one of us.

    Tallie, your total for your student loans is looking fantastic:T How have you managed all that:shocked:

    Cerisa hope you feel better soon.

    Ktjass, am going to Edingburgh at the end of the month, any tips or places worth checking out?!

    Everyone else, enjoy that friday feeling;)
