    sounds like life has been busy for you but sounds like overall things are on the up.

    Twice in 2 weeks, I am impressed!

    Had not 1 but 2 car tax renewal letters :eek:Stoooopid me hadn't realised they were both due together so that's £200 straight off. Then last weekend we discovered a hole in our roof. Roofer came Tuesday and the lead flashing has lifted away. He thinks he can tack it back down and re-point it and his quote was £200 :mad: So that's £400 I don't have that I need to find :(

    On a plus side I have had some fab bargains from work this week, only benefit of working until midnight! Bargains include, loaf of bread for 20p, celery 10p, Basil herb pot 15p, flowers 20p, courgettes 15p, huge pack of blueberrys 50p :p Went in today for a few bits that are on offer, as the promotions change next week, Choccy bags are BOGOF and with my discount too works out £1.80 for 2 bags and they also have the cinema offer on so trip to the cinema for 2 for £3.60 :).
    Whilst in there I noticed one of the guys was reducing sausages, he reduced them from £3.29 a pack down to £1.25! The packs are also on offer 2 for £5 and the tills still give you this off even if items are reduced so I got £19.74 of sausages for £2.76 :T:T:T Freezer now full! :rotfl:

    Anyway all for now TTFN x x

    Happy Dance as I managed to get the Pampers Glitch that was around earlier, it was taking off BOGOF and 3 for 2 so I got just under 200 nappys for under £20!!! :T

    More "working until midnight sucks until things get reduced" bargains!
    2 x 2 pinters of milk 10p each
    3 bags of stir fry veg 10p
    Absolutely huge carrier bag full of sweet potatoes 25p!
    Punnet of strawbs 25p
    Punnet of Blueberrys 39p
    And a 2.5 kg bag of spuds, they were expensive ........................45p :rotfl::rotfl:


    Mum is going to lend me the money to pay off the 2 credit accounts we have defaults with, I rang Moorgate and they said they would be able to come to an agreement with me but it would show on my credit file for 6 years :eek: So I guess I am paying in full!

    So I finally was brave enough to check my credit report and score errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ever wish you hadn't done something!

    So my total debt now stands at £4,284 :eek: but to be fair to myself that's still a h*ll of a lot less than the £17, 000+ I did owe a few years ago. My credit score though is Poor at 304 as it said too much of my available balance was being used up.

    Oh well at least I know what I am working with now so onwards and upward in our new 3 year life plan x x
