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:Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
