    Thanks Primula. I seem to be spending more money at the mo rather than making it which is a shame.
  • Glad you had a good time in Cornwall YB - and I reckon you'll be fine with that CC too - you know what signs to look out for, just so long as you're determined that at the first temptation of not paying it off in full you will cut it up, then you'll not go wrong.

    Yeah I wont let myself get into trouble with it.

    A small £4.50 saved on the shopping this afternoon so paid that off the loan. I did some more bits of xmas shopping today and I also got dd1 the boots offer of the week. She'll love glam eyes and got some peppa pig bits for dd2, and some stocking bits and pieces.
    I haven't got much left to get now according to my spreadsheet only the two really expensive things that'll wait until nearer the time.

    Said two games sold overnight so that's a bit more dripfeeding into the pot.
    I need to scour round for some more ways of making a bit more I think.
