Things seem to be fairly quiet all round cocalls, so not just you! I have noticed a significant slowdown in extra money coming through, and I am certainly having to go close to the wire just to pay petrol etc.

But they will pick up, I'm sure - and if we can get through these slow times, we can get through most things!

Aha but then you got some unexpected money i noticed Hypno well done on the rebrand & i did i too as looked on my payslip to see i had a fantastic 1%:ppayrise woo woo it was backdated to april so i have an extra £100 in my pay tomorrow. acually i mustn't be too dismisive of my payrise as a) at least i have a job and b)most people i know who work in the private sector have had pay freezes so im pleased actually.
So it looks like i will be able to pay everything off tomorrow roll on friday.

Dont know if anyone's remotly interested but today i will pay off my cc:beer::j:j:j

Its been a bit of a hard slog with OH not really on board and thinking that paying me for his bit of the holiday i put on the cc is somehow doing his bit hmph
But tis done, im going to cancel the cc as it's a cash back one and just too tempting to slam things on there thinking oooh i'll get cashback for that. im going to redo my SOA as things have changed since i last did it and i might keep this diary going for a bit as i have morocco hols and xmas coing up so i dont want to slip.

We still have so much stuff to buy as i dont know what we've been spending our money on for the last 10yrs but its certainly not on nice stuff for the house as we currently need;
Fridge
cooker
tv (small one for the bedroom as the last one has died-strangley just after OH played his 15yr old supermario game on it)
boiler
chest of drawers (all the drawers are broken coming out of the bottom & cant be fixed)
Wardrobe(We dont have one)


mmmmm lots to be saving up for but for today im happy as we have a shiney new bathroom, no debt (well apart from mortgage & students loans but hey im not counting that and i managed to keep hold of my sorry our £5000 for moving nxt year)
Jobs a good un have a great friday oh and i won £5 on scratchcards ;)alls well.

Well done! Happy Friday.

well done for clearing your card! it's such an achievement to clear each debt isn't it.
I know what you mean about payrises, we got one this year, and have a negotiated one next year but i bet dependent on which government gets in next we'll probably either, get a pay freeze, a pay cut or lose our jobs. What a wonderful world we live in. But i am thankful that i came on here 3 years ago and have gotten so far, i would be so terrified if this came when my finances were that bad, and they probably would have been worse if i'd left things another 3 years.

too right lemon tree thats why i love this site!
Our unions fought hard for us for 6mths to get us that 1% increase-cheers!

im v tierd i did a nightclub mystery shop last night its a club that i haven't been to for about 8yrs and it made me feel v old!!

Oh in his usual get it think about how we're going to pay fr it afterwards attitude has bought a telly off his dad for £100 (its a flat screen one worth £400 apparantly) buts its only for the bedroom-i was thinking of asking if anyone had one on freecyle. Ah well. Will look into chest of drawers nxt!

my OH is similar, he insisted that we needed a tv for the bedroom, have we used it? not very much. maybe he uses it when i'm not there but we certainly don't use it very often on an evening
