Hi everyone, I am back.

We went on holiday to Cornwall and had a nice time except we were all ill. Pip and I had a really bad tummy bug and then he was ill for the entire week, now OH and I both have had some kind of flu bug, awful.

Ive just paid all my bills so here are my totals after paying £377:

Next £460
MBNA £4350
Tesco £2400
Mothercare £590
Egg Loan £3599

= £11,399 :mad::mad::mad:

So annoying as I made well over minimums on all my payments, just doesnt seem to go down.

mum2one

hope you all go on ok, ah bless Pip, send a big hug for me.

You've done brilliant with that repayment, don't forget its that horrible thing thats called interest that catches up with us...... they should give us a break for overpaying!! (worth a try!!) x

Totals still going in the right direction though as it's lower than last month so give yourself a break!

Hope you're all feeling better

Pips_Mum

Thanks Ladies, I know it is going in the right direction its just frustrating isnt it!! Mum2one I would think all my Christmasses had come at once if I could get 0% interest *****drifts off into a daydream**** :rotfl::rotfl:

Lands back to Earth with a bang when remembers the sorry tale that is car insurance.

OH missed this months car insurance payment (both cars on a multicar policy), didnt realise it hadnt gone out until he checked his emails yesterday after returning from hols. Rings Admiral who now say they want the full remaining £452 to continue the insurance or they are cancelling policy as they have sent "numerous letters and emails". We have had 1 email!!!! They will not budge, OH explained we had been on holiday so were not able to check our bank and they don't believe that we have not received any letters. Waiting on a Manager call back but doubt they will say different. So whilst waiting I did some comparisons and wouldnt you know it, Admiral are the cheapest so they have well and truly got us over a barrel :mad::mad::mad:

Anybody have a spare £400 to loan me???;)

Positive stuff -

OH starts his new job on Monday, its his last day tomorrow, and that will save us about £200 a month on petrol :T:T:T BUT we will be on a tight month as his pay will not be for a full period.

All being poorly on holiday meant we spent much less than I had budgeted for as we ate in the lodge all but 1 night :D:D

Working out of other site next week so will be able to claim £64 of petrol :p:p

Having a Pasta stew for tea tonight, Half bag 18p pasta, tin chopped toms, onion, reduced chorizo, LO bacon, 1pt stock, reduced spinach nom, nom, nom!

How are you all doing anyway?

mum2one

Tell OH congratulations on new job, ur magic with figures, your soon have it all sorted, hope you get the car ins sorted out ok, xx

Pips_Mum

Well never did get manager call back from Admiral :mad::mad: so OH rang them this evening and refused to let them go until they transferred him to manager. Manager comes on phone and apologises, says he can see we have never missed a payment and that we have had a policy with them for 2 years so he couldnt see a problem in paying monthly still!! Awful Customer service :eek: but right result in the end :T:T

So tonights cheapy tea for 2 is a stirfry. Stirfry veg mix 76p, LO Bacon (yeah yeah I know but it was going to get chucked out else!:rotfl:) pack 17p noodles and a 55p sachet of sauce. Yum!

I am looking at a few cheap meal blogs, will post later on if there are any good ones.

TTFN x x

Monkeynut

Sounds yummy! And fab meals for such cheapy prices.

Glad you got car insurance sorted - just goes to show that it's always worth persevering with.

Pips_Mum

Yeah OH is stubborn like that Monkey!
