hi everyone. before i get carried away and totally forget, my PAD today is 1.22. AND another no spend day! that may be it for this week though, must do a bit of food shopping tomorrow for milk & bits. had a good clear out of the cupboards today (hardly anything got rid of, but all arranged and now know what i have again!)
really pleased they caught your car baddie, miss thrifty. hope he rots in a cell somewhere - though hopefully *not* in a super prison near me! (warrington one of the sites the govt is "considering"...)
clarissa, i really feel for you with the potty training. both of my kids (how unlucky is that!) had HUGE issues with number twos for months on end. i binned endless underpants (got sick of rinsing out, invested in loads of smartprice ones for about 20p a pair - probably WAS moneysaving as would have cost more to boil wash i reckon!), had umpteen embarrassing incidents whilst out and about etc. all i can say is - persevere! and try ANYTHING! bribes with chocolate buttons, stickers, charts, shameless promises of (very small and cheap) gifts, promises of character underpants when she's mastered it..anything!! what i discovered is that it all comes together when the kid is ready for it to, not when you are - but sometimes they need a little help in the right direction. xxx
glad your car has passed its MOT, mmy - always a worry, isn't it!? i have no idea about 17 year olds (or indeed, about any kids older than 7!) but it sounds like your 50/50 idea is a good one. and well done to your daughter for working part time already.
what a worry about your son & school, paybacktime. hope you can find a way through it quickly. aren't kids horrible sometimes - your poor lad. our headmaster is also completely useless at dealing with conflict, but so far we've not had any major issues. good luck xxx
trust you to have a "poke in the eye with a sharp stick" smilie, terri! that really made me laugh!
well wishes sent to wee, and hello and well done to everyone else.
i'm stuck in to a forbidden glass of red wine tonight - and for that, it's all the sweeter.
have a good night all xxx Mortgage free as of 11/11/15 !
:Anow... to start some serious saving :A

i'm not all too sure how i came across this forum but i have never been so inspired by a group of people before!! i would be honoured if you would allow me to take part!
I followed in the footsteps of Mudbath, and paid £860, clearing my overdraft, and putting me in credit by 3.90
no doubt i will be relying on the overdraft again at some point, as i am a student, but paying it back has lifted a huge weight from my shoulders, so thank you!
any contributions i now make will be going towards my ISA, but, i assure you they will not be this big lol!!
this will all be going towards paying off my student loans!!
i also set up a direct debit for £35, paying off my credit card, i hope!
xxxWould love to win something... just unlucky i guess

Hello peeps .....
Hope everyone is ok ?
joeyjimbles - I'm sooooooo nosy ! Where are you decorating ?
.....
mmy - Excellent news that your car passed its' MOT
.....
Double Trouble - Did you sort your " 40 posts per pages out ? ......
Can't think of anything else that you have missed ! ....
Greenbynature - Quote from you " No pic i'm far too shy " ...... Not to worry i'll do it for you ...... Here you go !

Flower08 - Ooooooooh only " 1 more wake up " until you go away for your weekend ! ...... Have a lovely time
..... You never know , but you may walk straight past me on saturday, as my daughter wants to drag me around the shops ! .....
XMISS-SHELLAX - Hi
Good luck with your payment a day into your ISA , no matter how small the payment is it's surprising how quickly it all adds up .....
Here's my Good and Bad for today ...
The Good - Added £1 to my pot ...
Added 3p to my copper pot ! ...
The Bad - I must confess to finishing off some Nutella ...... if there's any up and coming inventors on here, i would love a decent shaped spoon that gets right into the corners of a Nutella jar !
.......
Just a short " post " for me today as i need to " trawl " through the internet looking for a stunning bargain prom dress for my daughter
! .......
Anybody got any tips on chopping logs ? ....... yes ....... I did say chopping logs !
......... I've been given some logs but need to cut them down so they will fit on my fire ........ Why is real life never like it is in the films ? ....... I thought i would only have to make a " v shaped cut " in them , then give 'em one big swipe and then " bobs your uncle fannys your aunt " and i would have a lovely toasty fire
........ But in reality i got " the hump " and gave up after 15 mins because nothing was happening ....... So my wickes axe is back in it's cover after being sworn at several times
! ....... I suppose the smallest logs are aprox 20" length x 7" depth x 6" width ........ So a jigsaw is no good , i can't face sawing them
, so looks like i am stuck with my axe ......... I might be able to borrow a circular saw off of somebody , i've never used one before , are they easy to use ? ........ I'll have a look on Youtube to see if i can pick up any tips on there .....
Lets hope " The phantom board stretcher doesn't strike again tonight ! "
.....
Catch you all tomorrow .....
terri x
( Total PAD today £1.03 )
edited .......Omg I can't believe you found a 'poke in the eye with a sharp stick smilie'. I'm going to test you now.....have you got a smilie of a headmaster being told off by a load of PAD addicts????
Hmmmmmmmmmmm i can't find anything suitable at the moment
.......but i do love a challenge !
