I shall consider myself ticked off then.:o:o

Sorry guys, i have had a major wobble and the more i thought about it -the madder i became. I am going to have another talk with Mr.B, everyone will be out of house in about half an hour. DS will be at work and DD2 is out with friends.

I cleared off for a bit to go to Tesco's and spent £42 on shopping, lots of reduced items, then filled up the car as we used it yesterday so that was another £34. I was hoping for free 5p off voucher, but i just couldn't spend the £50- got what was on my list and quite a few points and green points to.

You are of course all right, here is the only place i let off steam and what not- you lot know more than my mother.:rotfl:

So where are the 'nad kicking smilies when i need them? Linda?????Wherefore art thou with the rudie ones?:rotfl::rotfl:

Moneysaving update.

£15 Quidco cash is being paid in, £14 voucher for trade in of mobile phone and £7.50 Voucher coming for trade in off really duff mobile phones.Plus 75p interest on current account, expenses being paid tomorrow ( i hope) so not looking too shabby there.


Had talk with him, we had to keep voices down as DD2 walked in with mate ( inconsiderate thing) but we have come to a stand off for the moment. He is into bank tomorrow to open his basic account and has taken every single credit card out of his wallet...about bloody time too.

I am on with a few other things,as have to put away £3000 this year for DD2 Uni next year. She is looking for a part time job and may well get taken on at the local gym where DS works yet ( fingers crossed)

My mum has generously offered to help out with a laptop for her as ones were are using have steadily gone down hill over the last year. She will need it for course work and such so, i am putting £80 of vouchers towards it and mum is covering the rest. Have ordered it on interest free for the remainder, total cost in Argos clearance sale was £249, so mum is happy to pay a certain amount per month. DD2 is ecstatic and i am relieved not to wrestle laptop away from them. I have already got the student stuff for it, so she will be ok there. She is also using my qype pen drive as her old one broke- she thinks is cool. It will be here on Wednesday can't wait as it will solve a massive headache.Oh and i ordered via quidco, so cashback as well.


So Bank holiday ended a bit better than i thought. Wallander tonight, so that will round it off nicely.

You made me feel very welcome the other day,and you have given me such great advice that it got the ball rolling for me.
Thankyou ,and Im so glad you seem to be having a bit better time of it.
I swear debt has kept me and oh together.1)we cant afford to split and 2) everytime we have a bust up one o the parents say,"well ,you guys dont have any money to do anything,its bound to make you both tense".What excuse can we hide behind if I sort the debt?
Luckily I have 3 daughters ,so never gonna happen,there will just be gradients of debt /despair,lol.

a stand off beats daggers drawn doesn't it? hope you manage to sort him out - actually I don't think anyone can do that for him so I hope he gets his LBM and jumps aboard. x

Looks like you may win the battle yet..if he only has a basic account and no CCs then surely he can't get into trouble!!!
Great news on the laptop for your DD so that helps things.

And this is why i like MSE, Lots of support off folks. Thankyou.:D

G-J i hope your bionic knee works, it's not been the same hobbling round the threads has it?:rotfl: Remember to take it easy!

Well mini update, not exactly moneysaving but -- i went into charity shops today and bought some lovely work clothes for the grand total of £9:D I think that will make a total of £20 spent on clothes this year:cool: To say i am tight would be an understatement....if only there had been a jumble sale on:o:T

Back into tuesday routine with a thump as was guiding tonight and centenary launch at the weekend. So that's my weekend gone again.

Expenses didn't come in :mad:but is staff meeting tomorrow and a free lunch ;)and will collar the boss then. Off for a quick mooch and catch up.

I got dragged into it, but quite enjoy it- apart from a couple of things:oBut we learn.

I am generally ok about stuff, so it is rare for me to be down i tend to get mad rather than down:cool:But it is a saga and has been a bit of a drag to get him to toe the MSE line, we are talking of breaking a lifetime of ingrained habits :eek:Which is why we are all here too! I just wish he would be a bit quicker about it and save me a headache.:o
