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

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!0 -

Have not done anything on my list from yesterday tho. I am over friends house tonight and out with her tomo. Im making a list for Sunday/Monday to kick myself into gear.
I got my third set of free clarins mini’s too!!! Im so lucky with these! I did some volunterr work with the police dogs this morning then went to the nearby boots and got them!! I got bought a lovely organic hot choc too for my free time.
Other than that ive done nothing today! Off out soon so just a quick post. Enjoy a fab debt free Friday night everyone!

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
