    Hi hun!!

    Just checking in... what with being the IT engineer and being able to connect the PS3 wireless-ly... (is that a word?) and spreadsheets... Nats.. you are officially in my geek gang :p.. not sure where the painting a donkeys backside comes into that though? :confused:

    On the mobilies... and special delivery - send it recorded hun! SOOOO much cheaper - it still gets you a signature and usually does get there the next day or the day after... they just say between 3-5 days to cover themselves...

    Well done on shopping and not spending. Its quite a good feeling when you don't buy just for the sake of buying! I feel quite proud when I say 'no' to myself and actually listen ... (god i sound like i've been 'let out' for the weekend.... :o)

    Hope you had a nice drink with friends!! Catch ya later alligator :cool:

    Good afternoon All!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend?

    My moblies are all sorted.... although upon charging I discovered that 1 doesn't power up properly and another has a cracked screen so I might need to jiggle where to send them to to get the best money for them!

    Nothing really to report on the money front. Went out Sat night but it was only £25 including a taxi home and I had a nice time. Won a few games of cards, so that helped buffer the spend a little... only a couple of quid here and there... but it all helps. OH did the shopping on Friday and didn't want any money toward it so that went toward my Sat night out (bless him!:o ). He did take my car out yesterday though, so that has totally b*ggered with my fuel allowance and I will need at least an extra £5 in fuel this week. Still not a bad trade though! :D

    I have decided that I will transfer the extra bits of money I have lying around in various accounts to my current account, just to ensure that I do meet my target of £0 on the 24th April.... only 7 paydays away now!! There is an extra £50 odd pounds in my NS&I account which I might stick in as well just to be on the safe side. I can put it back (and a little more) in May so not too worried.... just need to work out how I access it. Not sure if I have to send off for it or if I can withdraw it over the counter at the Post Office?

    One piece of good news is that my mobile bill this month is only £19.84 instead of the £22 that I usually allow - so will go and update my spreadsheet accordingly!! (ooh, a saving of £2.16!!:rotfl: )

    Right - well back to work then.... I'll be around this arvo so will try and get by some of your diaries to see how you are doing!

    Elizabeth - welcome to the 'clear the overdraft' challenge!!!

    I haven't been out of my overdraft since I was 18! Going to be hard not to spend "ready money" Going to aim small at about £50 a month, but I'll throw any extra money I earn/gain as well!!

    Can't believe you're going to be at Nil in April - now that's hard work!!
