    thanks jamie & D&DD :)

    2037 was just too unbearable!

    My creditors weren't accepting the amount offered by CCCS on the original payment I was making but CCCS said that they should all be happy now, I'm so relieved & even though a DFD of 2014 might seem really bad, to me its brilliant after the shock of the original date! :j

    My good news is that the guy that rents my gargae for storage wants to extend the rental for another six months!!! That's at £45 a month, so I'm pleased.

    Plus the place I'm temping at wants to give me more work.

    Its pay day and for the first time in two years we haven't used the overdraft...yeh

    In fact we are still about 200 in credit, so will actually get some interest from A+L this month

    Good news comes in threes, cashed my cheque for 150 off halifax, got the 200 quid the swine who used my card (no idea how he got it in the first place) refunded in today, and its pay day tommorrow

    Im hoping that i have a decent amount left in the bank by the end of the month to have earned some decent interest on my a&l account

    also had my work contract extended another 3 months, so hopefullyt by then i may have enough to clear the egg card earlier than i planned

    (also will get 20 quid for setting someones braodband up and someone wants a price for a website, with marketing for it so should get around a hundred for that :) )

    My good news is that i got paid today. I know everyone gets paid at some point but i got more than usual taking my pay after tax up to £1,000 :j

    I just have to wait for the cheque to clear and then i can start moving the money around. I have re-activated an old halifax account that has a solo card and am thinking about using it for food shopping to help with budgeting. Can i use solo for Tesco online?
