    Yep..... I am officially bored of this money malarkey. Its not that I am bored of not really having any (although.... in a strange way you could actually say that I have more now that I did pre-LBM!!) I am just bored of nothing changing.

    Nothing to tweak on my spreadsheet, can't do anything until my DD's have swapped over to A&L, no extra money due until the next cashback payout or I get my a$$ in gear and send off the mobiles / or list stuff on ebay. Its just DULL!!!

    Anyway, DD letters are 'sposed to go out today, so will look at A&L online tonight - just because I can - and just to make sure nothing has gone over already (which is impossible as the letters are in todays post - but you never know!!)

    Other than that...... DULL! :rolleyes:

    Hope you are all ok? Who would like to open a thread about a DFW meet - just to see how many people would be interested? Gone on - someones gotta want to do it!!

    Oh, nearly forgot in all my dullness - payday tomorrow!! :D

  • Hi Nats

    I've got to much going on at the moment to think about organising anything else!

    I've got courses coming out of my ear 'oles and volunteer work and the move soon.

    and I think my brain is going into melt down! :doh:

    Managed to put £20 in my moving pot today so now up to £64.50! :j

    I know what you mean about it getting dull when there's nothing coming out, nothing to tweak in your spreadsheets and you haven't got your pay day to play with that money. I seem to have this lull for 2 weeks each month and really have to stop myself spending on silly things just to have something to do.

    Oh LemonTree - as long as its not just me!!

    I get paid weekly, so you would have thought that I would have plenty to do all the time. But all my DD's and SO's are mapped out for the entire year and once I have withdrawn my money there is nothing else to edit!!

    I was toying with the idea of spending some money - to makes things more interesting - but I find it really hard to spend for the sake of spending nowadays (something that I should be impressed with I know!)

    Oh, just remembered.... extra £5 of fuel did not increase my mileage range, so I put another £10 in last night as it was 2p cheaper than my usual garage.

    Big :D I have something to change on my spreadhseet! Must dash!! Can't contain the excitement any longer!! ;)

    Ah, that was me last week bored, bored, bored:rolleyes:
    I think the initial excitment of debtbusting wears out, and you realise this is as exciting as it gets. Sat at the PC month after month watching numbers getting smaller. I mean where is the fun in that, when you compare it with new shoes:D or going into your local bookshop and opening the volumes and sniffing the pages (my OH walks away from me at airports etc when I do that) Oh for a fresh smelling book wraped in a paper bag rather than a nicotine flavour used number arriving in a plastic jiffy cheap of amazon.

    NOOOOO dont do it!! (completely understand what you mean though) I reckon there's a three month dip after your LBM... where you just feel like you're standing still... but at least that means you're not going backwards! ;)

    Thanks guys!! :o

    I am focusing on the 24th April.... BLACK DAY!! I am hoping this will keep my interest up!

    Having spent a little bit of time looking through my spreadsheet I need to keep an eye on my balance around the 19th of May as at the moment, my balance is due to drop to +£17.56!! So if I spend an extra £20 (that I don't have) between now and then, then I will back IN THE RED!! :mad: This is the only time after 'black day' that this is possibly going to happen. Just need to make sure I keep an eye on it and transfer all my spare pennies into the new A&L account to keep the balance up!!

    Oh, does anyone know when I will get my £100 from A&L for transfering my banking to them? I wonder if it will be before the 19th May?:rolleyes: Oh and there is extra Q.co money too, so should be ok!!

    Well, still bored, but I like having something to ponder on... and its payday tomorrow!:D Nothing to do on my spreadsheet though as it is all mapped out up until the end of July - see? Boredom is cause by over-efficiency!!:p Just my £60 to withdraw and off I go!

    TTFN, Nats x:beer:

    Ah-Ha!! Almost forgot something!!! I put diesel in lat night, so am going to try and drive really economically this week and therefore not need the £10 weekly fuel allowance.... this makes the 19th May +£27.56 (if it works!!)
