Thanx for the support George and Electon,it helps when u know people are behind what u are doing, even though it is quite hard to keep the motivation up from time 2 time!Had a wee break from the saving and me and the wife went out for an Indian meal and then 2 the pub for a few drinks last nt.Really enj ourselfs and the meal was lovely.Worked out about £13.00 each which wasnt 2 bad for a main course and 2 drinks.I paid for me and my womans meal and she paid for a few drinks at the pub so we had a really gd nt.My next payment is Virgin c/c which im paying this thurs and i intend 2 get this card down under £500.Have 2 take it easy cos my car tax is up at the end of the mnth and that'll cost me at least £82 for the 6 mnths.

Paid my Virgin bill,which brings it down under £500:jGd news at work,the 8hr shifts arnt working,cos our orders never went down and they need 2 put us back onto 12hr shifts 2 get the work done,so the 12hr shifts are starting again in about 3wks time which means my pay will go up 2 what it was before so happy days!O.H got the app for her 1st scan on 20 0ct and shes doing o.k at the minute.
