Hi All!!!
Well its payday again!!(sorry OBNW!!)
I actually had more money left in my bank last night than I thought I would... which is strange considering the extra diesel and £30 withdrawal for OH's b'day. :rolleyes: I have checked back though and can't see anything missing that should have gone out... so thats a bonus and I put it down to a calculating blip!!
Well, this week coming I only have the DD to my Egg loan going out today (must update signature!). So.....
I will withdraw £60 to cover, diesel, cigarettes, food and entertainment for the coming week.
Make a provision for an extra £40 to cover valentines (staying in cooking meal with OH, but probably nicer food than of late) and my mums b'day (next Tuesday.
If I stick to this (no reason why not!!) then I will be at -£540 by next Thursday evening.
Although I enjoyed it, I think something went a bit amiss from my previous "long-range forecast" so did another quick one last night!!I reckon my bank account will not see another positive balance until Friday 27th March. Friday the 3rd April should also see a positive balance. Then 2 weeks of being OD again and then 2 weeks of positive balances. This will take me up to the 1st May - hopefully with a balance of +£289.87!! Well, we'll see - I know I am going in the right direction and I will get there when I get there!! (I am toooo laid back - but what else can I do?)
Have a great Friday and weekend all. I am off work this Saturday and I would really like to wake up in the morning and see enough snow to go and play in!!

It's just not right, or ethical, or fair, or reasonable, or fair, or decent or even fair!

I do want to be in that position soooo badly.I am really looking forward to running my account as close to £0 as I can with all the spare going towards clearing my debts!! There is little point keeping money in the current account as the interest is sooooo low (I think, virtually zilch!!)

Hi Nats
Sorry not been ‘in’ of late – well I have been reading – just no time to reply! Well done on having the money left over!! That’s brilliant!Have you allocated it to anywhere?
I think you’re doing really well with the O/D … its good to be crossing one goal off at a time! I’m hope to start joining you very soon
Thought you did great with the b/f and birthday! Really good – I may be after some tips – my b/f 30th in June! Need to start thinking about it now to actually be able to do something nice and not break the bank!
Hope you had a nice weekend with the Saturday off?? And that you had a good valentines!!
