    i hate it when they add the interest back on. I have a loan (which i'm not allowed to overpay) where they charge interest monthly.
    Sounds like you're mega organised at the moment you're much better than i am, i really must start meal planning again. I did the first shop of the month last night £46 which was better than i expected given how much there was and there was lots of stuff which will last at least a month if not more. Isnt' it strange how sometimes you have only a couple of items which cost a fortune then other times it's loads and it feels 'cheap'.

    Fay, if you have time let me know if you fancy meeting up. OH forgot to post your parcel (sorry!) I found it in the garage next to a pile of post!

  • No probs - will PM you my mobile number - the swedish shop does a nice cuppa

    LT - I know its a pain isnt it - I don't feel very organised (although I can almost recite the contents of one freezer .............and tell you theres about 22 loaves/types bread in the other one and stock and icecubes :)

    I blame Piq entirely for taking me in hand and getting me organised :)

    (Waves to Piq)

    Shopping always I like but any organised structure to my shopping eludes me.

  • Hi Fay!

    Just spent the bet part of 4 days a w*rk (gulp) reading your diary. I am hooked!
    You are doing totally fantastic with your debts and sounds like you are having a riot of fun at the same time.

    I too am lover all things stripey and silly plus I have the red hair to match!

    Will keep following your journey *waves* to Unix, Piq,BoB, Lemon Tree, Hamsterpoo and all the gang

    KEEP IT UP!!!
