    Hi everyone

    PAD of £6.80 to DH cap one tonight. I have changed my signature to show balance on DH's cap one card (this is our lowest:eek:) I'm hoping it may give me a push to pay it off quicker. Have nicked some tips from other peeps off here and have worked out (roughly) that to pay it off by the end of year will be approx £6.80 a day. Hopefully some days will be more than this and some could definitely be less:D Will endeavour to update total on 28th of the month rather than daily.

    Congrats to Flower - i'm sure you are glad that's over.

    Best wishes to everyone else :A

    Evenin' all :rolleyes:

    Just a little £1 for me as usual. Have had to pay out £150 today for my brakes but hey ho. At least its something worthwhile.

    It's far too long untill payday and this week is going way too slowly!

    On a slightly better note, I have been very good dietwise, went to the gym yesterday and swimming today. Just as well really because I'm going to Pizza Hut then the cinema tomorrow for b/f's birthday!

    xx
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    Hello,bear with me as I'm going to try to remember all the posts!Congrats to those who have paid cards off (I believe there's 2-you know who you are!)Glad your exam went well Flower08.Hugs to lemma as you sound like you've had a tough few days with a traumatic job at work.Thanks to Terri for totals and love to the rest of you!Phew.
    I don't have my dd for a few nights and my hubby is at work till later tonight,so I'm a bit lost.It's the 1st eve I've had by myself in 2 yrs 7 months (Funnily enough the exact age of my dd).We only tend to ask for a babysitter to step in if we have plans,but I badly needed me time.I don't know what to do!The flat is v empty,might have a bath in a bit.I had fun meeting my friend for a coffee this avo too!I'm such a rebel!I brought some x-mas pressies too in the bargain sections (I'm not off my rocker I promise!It works out so much cheaper to have a gift box to chuck things into when you spot them).I brought £20 of pressies for £4-result!
    Anyway pad today is 20p (wd have been more but I as crimbo shopping,lol!)x

    Twinkles I don't think you're mad! I bought a few bits and pieces for a smellies hamper (surely mother must be bored of them by now?!) when they were on offer in Tesco but she uses Dove and it's quite expensive so I seized my chance a few weeks ago and got some!! Last year, when the Body Shop were having their summer sale, I got a load of stuff for step-MIL so it looked like I'd spend a fortune when I hadn't!

    I get a real buzz out of getting a bargain!I always try to make it look like I've spent a lot ie quality things,but I love finding a real fab a roo nie!!I love dove I have to admit,it just smells so clean!lol.
    One tip a friend gave me was that if you buy a real bargain,just give that pressie rather than buying other bits to go with it,'cos then the reciever believes you paid full price rather than it looking like you feel guilty and are trying to make it up!I think it works!I sound like a right skinflint now :o

    Yeah I suppose what your friend said is kinda true but if you give loads of bargains, does that not make you look generous?!! :)

    evening folks

    Quick post from me as I am off to bed. Being back at work is making me sooo tierd, but I will get used to it again. Its amazing how out of synch you get just being 6 weeks of work.

    Anyway enough waffle - £2.33 for me today.

    I am going to put my PAD's from today onwards towards my holiday fund now as its only a fortnight tomorrow when we go!!!

    Have a good hump day tomorrow
