Hey guys, glad to see us back on, have certainly missed the thread this weekend, however have still kept fairly busy.

well done on your win angelflower.

Good luck at court sieve.

Have had a good weekend although other half is being a pain in the behind!!

Have done three mystery shops today and played game of badmington which was only £2.50 and lots of fun, then free lunch out.

Greatest bit of news for us today is the fact that we received our gas and elec bill which was only £244 for three months, which i am very happy with. So are the gas company as they are now reducing our payments to £62, a reduction of £44 a month and will be crediting my bank account with a refund of £44 for this month. I'm really pleased about this, although will still be keeping the amount down!!

Off to write up the mystery shop reports, have a great afternoon everyone and its nice to be back:T:T

*online scratchy - 10p
*went out on Friday evening with work people (the nice ones!) and only spent £1.30 (£1 on parking and 30p on lime and soda water)
*spent far too much money on GN :mad:. I will now give up online gambling
*drove to Weight Watchers today, put on 3lbs :mad::mad:, so starting again. 12 weight ins till my 30th birthday, so need to get my a##se into gear and shift this weight :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Cleosmum – Hope you have got everything sorted with the council (Barstewards)

Andan, Nice long list as normal  Hope you feel better soon x

Welcome back MBAZ

Mogchops, thanks for the tale (or should that be tail) of escaping cats and bra wires – I now only buy non wired bras now (also really helps as I am running short of money, but I am also losing inches …. I know what they say, but surely wearing a slightly bigger bra for a couple of months cant really be that bad?)

Lurlee, thanks for the PM – I will enjoy growing my own drugs (…..and wait to hear the police sirens!)


***I heard unofficially, thet work are not going to pursue the Facebook saga from last week as it happened outside of work :rolleyes: - oh well, the guy is no longer a 'friend', and I will avoid the woman*******

Take care, and hello to everyone who posts after me.

Hi all

had a fab trip to Rome and with all the trouble i have had the last weekend with the neighbour from hell, it came at the right time!! had a wonderful time and i even didnt spend all my money and have managed to pay my accomodation with the money i had left for my weekend in edinburgh at the end of the month, so well chuffed with that. :j

this weekend has seen no noise from next door, so hoping the worst is over!

checked the ISA and earned a pitiful £8 so a little disappointed, but its £8 towards the debt! so tomorrow will be ringing Halifax and transferring the cash to my savings account and sorting out my bank accounts and spreadsheets.

done the daily scratch cards and clicks.

chiling out this evening and will start back on track with dealing with the debt tomo!!

missed the thread loads!!

hope everyone is well
