  • Afternoon All

    VERY excited today! Me and other half sorted our money out for moving out last night, he is so lovely. We have sorted it out a way which we are going to trial, as if we split it right in half, I can't afford it because of my bank loan, even though he earns £75 a month less than me! He said that if he lived on his own he would be paying for everything himself and I would practically be living there which would make his bills a bit higher, so it doesn't actually make much difference to him, plus he wants to live with me. We are viewing a flat on Monday evening :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Today:
    Look for places to live
    Look for jobs and email bank agency
    Online banking
    Transferred £6 (3 x £2 coins) to ISA
    Look for mystery shops
    Drive carefully to consume petrol
    Free scratch - 10p

    Have a good day everyone :D

  • Hi all!

    Today I've checked banking (still not in my O/D, which is the first time in almost 2 years for a 5 week month!), changed billing date on my credit card so it falls just after pay day (no more late payments due to lack of funds) and will later set up a direct debit so I don't forget to pay at least the minimum. And will do my clicks and online surveys later.

    Have a good weekend everyone!
  • My list now
    Feed chooks
    Checked bank all ok
    CC needs paid
    Heating is off at mo

  • Hey guys just caught up - wow you have all beeen busy

    SM indeed thank good ness for dishwashers!!!!!!
    Andan hope you have a nice 2 day with OH
    Ratty are you sowing seeds this weekend - I was wondering about it but I always do it too early and they get all etolated - maybe its time right enough

    Present drawers love them - I have two boxes stashed already - mainly xmas things (crackers, cards, paper from boots) noticed our local Body shop place has alot of stickered items as does the chemist so I mgiht pop my head in.

    We scour ? scower? anyway we hunt through the charity shops most weeks like others on here cos you can find unopened gift sets - nice candles etc that are brand new and lovely for the drawer.

    Andan I think you are right when you see that special 'something' and keep it for soemone - one of my pals found a camper van t shirt at a boot sale when they were down on holiday in England in July - she bought it for me and I got it at xmas - it was really thoughtful and I loved it!!

    Miss P - tut tut - the list said put on tumble drier - and then lovely sunny day a few lines down :rotfl:just teasing sometimes I think that our washing piles add to our insulation in the house :rotfl:well done if you got on top of it finally

    waving to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
