Morning All!
Today I have:
- Checked my online banking (and grimaced at the £111 charges - I'm determined not to get charges again, hence joining here and digging my head out the sand!)
- Paid £1.16 across to my Virgin card
- Going for a run (eek) to try shift the extra 6lb I have put on within a week of Xmas!!
Have a good one!

Cassey, have a wonderful meal tonight and a good time with OH. Enjoy your birthday for tomorrow.
Paul, great news that you made a mistake calculating the debt and owe less than you thought, its still always nice to see that total go down
Pips mum, still no baby??!! Glad to see i am not the only one who is struggling with the battle against OH regarding heating. Mine insists on having it on almost all the time! I turn it down and he turns it up again, dread to think about how expensive our next bill will be. There is just no telling my other half, his response is, just pay it.

Put various sale purchases into my gift bag so that they can be used as birthday or christmas presents.
Tried to find some Professional Indemnity Insurance for my business - managed to get Public Liability yesterday which is to be paid monthly at 0% interest and I should get £50 in Capital Bonds too (whatever they are).

Capital bonds are gift vouchers they can be used in lots of high street stores and for some experiences etc.
If you google their website there is a list of the shops that accept them.
