    • Checked banks - all still OK
    • Checked loan balance and its £200 less than I thought:T - will make an additional payment of about £900 - £1000 this month so only 3 or 4 payments left after that - will have to start overpaying the other loan then....
    • Moved £20 into Xmas savings internet pot
    • Checked phone bill - OK this month, only the plan to pay for , no extras

    Hi Everyone

    Fayjmac- I love that thread. I have a long list of great ideas that I copied into a word document. I love it! I now cut up all of my face wipes into half (or even a quarter on a no make up day!); washing up liquid and handwashes are all in dispensers and I even buy bath creme to replace the handwash when it runs out (also good for the environment:T ).

    Today I will:
    • talk to my best friend in France - she usually calls me because it is free for her!
    • check the job pages of the newspaper
    • More ironing - I must to at least 30 mins or the mountain will take over:rolleyes:
    • Washing (creating yet more ironing!)
    • reading for class on Thursday
    • Relax with a face pack from my stash
    • go out and get some fresh air - 20 minute walk around the block.
    • Find out if stamps are still 5% off at superdrug - if they are then I will pick a few up.
    • Update spending diary
    • Try to work some magic on my accounts - been a bit bad this month.
    Have a great day everyone.
