    £280 pounds in expenses came through today, that's gone straight towards the credit card but I'm not changing the signature until I actually see the transaction on my account.

    Oh, and I got a free glass of wine in the sunshine at lunch time (the boss paid as it was a "meeting").

    My good news today is that my hubby's girlfriend got served with the divorce papers she's been refusing for the lat 3 weeks (it's an adultery case after he moved in with her when he was supposed to be 'getting his head together' after a bout of depression) - daft so-and-so thinks she's going to have to go to court and pay a fine! The bailiff rang me to confirm she'd had them, and then asked if I'd ever met her, cos apparently she's rough as a bear's bottom and about half as classy!

    Plus the £2 savings at work has gone from £4 to £26 today. Feeling v positive about the whole owing-people-money thing and that's a good thing.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    My good news is I got a cheque for £3.80 back from Orange after closing contract account and moving to PAYG. And have only used 75p of the £1 credit they gave me with the SIM, so my £10 I put on has lasted a month already!

    I also sold 2 appliances that have been sitting gathering dust for £90. That's the kick up the bum I needed to get sorting stuff for a car boot sale too!

    So £93.80 extra to be thrown at the cc's!!

    My good news is that after 4 years, I have today, taken my final Anti-Depressant.

    I am finally off them!!

    Lots of struggling though which is a bummer, but I know I've got to get through the hell and come out shining the other side.
