:hello: :hello: Morning,

Checked the bank accounts........cash back from Quidco has hit my Nation wide account :j :j , thats a bit more off the CC bill.

Council have not taken our CT payment, thinks its because OH sent in his private pension rise, all of £1.30 a month:mad: :mad: :mad: . We will have the same problem in April when both our civil service pension rises come in......:mad: :mad: takes them 8 weeks to sort it out and then they send a 26 page letter telling us why they have increased the amount of rent and CT we have to pay:mad:

Yesterday was not a no spend day after all managed to spend £20 in Wilkinsons, but today WILL be, not going out!!!

Could not understand why I seemed to have so much money left in the budget, realised I had not put in the payment for the new car:eek: :eek: :eek:
still even then should clear the o/d around the end of March. Brill.......

Morning everyone

Not as cold here today, thank goodness.

Things for today:

Checked online banking - Amazon payment has gone in, had already transferred from my own money to mortgage pot and haven't missed the money so that has gone into virtual pot. Almost half way towards target

Daily scratches - 2 x 10p

Send Martin's restaurant deals round office, and sort out Pizza Express one for this evening - Wednesday night date night is going to be even cheaper now

Brought in HM salad, HM flapjack, yoghurt, fruit and nuts from home.

Post Amazon book and transfer money to mortgage pot before it arrives in bank account so I can do the same as I have today with virtual pot.

Keep an eye on Ebay as 24 box set finishes about 10.30am. Hopefully buyer will pay today so can get it sent out at same time as Amazon book, meaning only one post office trip.

Install OpenOffice on work PC as can't open my 101 in 1001 challenge list

Start 101 in 1001 blog (will post link up when done)

Free tickets for a Spanish flamenco guitarist tonight, should be fun!


Have good days everyone

Hello all! I'm working from home today, so in theory should be NSD (Plus have...ahem... borrowed OH's debit card so he can't 'accidently' spend money either)

1) Will put all the veg left from last week's veg box into slow cooker for veg soup, rather than throw out
2) checked the bank - Regal credit still not gone out (meant to go out 1st, cheeky moo told me yesterda they only just asked for the payment, and there's no problem....yet. Don't you just want to slap them/)
3) Transfered the extra £92 we save this month for being a no-council tax month to the savings. Woo hoo! Free money!
4) Signed up to DooYoo so will try to blag a few amazon vouchers for birthdays
5) I will be starting the Great Ebay, as we may be moving in just over a month
6) I will be walking in to get the kids, and walking back thus saving bus fare, and spending more time with the kids on the way.
7) I will be putting on a sweater when it gets nippy, rather than turn on heating.

Think that's all I can manage, as I'm supposed to be working today....

My socks are purple & black stripes.

Morning everyone - love the icons SM

Think I will jump on the bandwagon and steal ideas, so will start with Yorkshire Belle's mantra! Just because work is horrible, I need the money and must not be distracted...


Am wearing thick woolly peacock blue tights today, nice and warm but not sparkly


Fay have you started your diary yet? please do, I love your stories that you post on here, it'll be great!!!:j

Its on my list in my head and from yesterday - I am so sure you will die of boredom, but as its my yukky horrible 10 year from breaking up from the idiot who broke my heart and ran off with our stupid stinky silly bleep bleep vet (sorry other vets I am sure you are lovely and not horrible bleeps) anniversary - I will probably do it as a distraction and to cheer me up - being dumped on valentines day sucks.

Sorry if TMI- thankfully the twinklets were too little to know what really went on. xx
Diary ahoy - will do later.

Approve of tights........

continuing to repeat mantra
