    Woohoo for paydays...ahhh the memory.
  • Oh dear, i have been neglecting my diary.

    Well a wee update have cleared off a balance as i said i would and card now cut up and closed. Have transferred three of the smaller debts leaving a balance on 0% card-so 1,700 transferred over. Hopefully will save me a lot of dosh. Have also overpaid car as i just plan to make minimum on 0 % card whilst i do this with extra saved..i am excited.

    Had a busy weekend as Gran was admitted to hospital so a lot of energy going in there...

    Have guides tonight and will be my last session there as i take my Master's again. Have also lined up some extra work on the 1:1 tuition scheme on top of full time job, so should really be able to hammer away at stuff now.

    Have a good one.

    Yes thanks- she is 93 so was a bit worrying that she kept falling over. She has been moved from the assessment ward onto another ward now- so she can't escape.:D

    It took over 7 hours to get tests and x rays done on Saturday, but was worth it in the end as by the time she was admitted she was looking a bit better..gasping for a ciggie though and totally non PC as well.:o I knew she was feeling better then:rolleyes:
