    Holidays I hear you say... what might one of those be?

    Getting jealous of anyone who can even think about a break - my workload has just rocketed!

    Nice to see you are getting on. Good luck with the decluttering. Mine is going very badly, although have had a successful ebay round. I think I have hit my £50 target.

    Crawls in aching from every limb :)

    Bodybalance fun but damn hard - and very achy today.

    I did a bad thing






    I cancelled my loan Standing Order for £160.15 - its due out by the 15th August as its last payment - so I cancelled the DD and am endeavouring to hit it hard this month with a few pounds here and there until it is no more.

    Man that felt good - my DD's are now down to £432 (excluding my rent) :)

    Harry Potter tonight in true MSE style with a student discount ticket :) Will take a drink
    Grass ID course tomorrow all day for work - sounds exciting huh?? I know grasses but I do struggle with them as I don't use the skills regularily enough
    Dinner at a chums tomorrow night - curry - yum yum
    Making dinner for a pal for her birthday on Sunday night I think from the freezer in true frugalistic style
    DD birthday on Monday - 13 years old - bless will miss her.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:

    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

    have you told them you've cancelled the SO /DD? if it's the latter and they try and take it you'll get charged for it failing. i ran foul of that once but did manage to argue my way out of the charges on that occassion.
    have fun in the grass,
    and thanks again for the chat

    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
