I know you keep making me - which is good because I would only waste it otherwise
I'm glad mine only ever was allowed a small balance - otherwise I'm sure my debts would be massive now...no excuse for it either - I have loads of spare money I just waste it!!! Or used to - not any more!0 -
Sorry, dont mean to be bossy!

Just spent a frustrating time on the phone with natwest but think my CC is now closed and just have the interest payment to pay on 17th July
Have ordered online shopping at £50 to replenish my store cupboard plus this weeks food - coming on Sunday so will go slightly over food budget this month
However, got travel all in for £38 provided I dont need any more on my Osyter later in the month (trying to walk as much as possible)
Have spent half of clothing budget by buying a dress for £25 but probably wont buy anything else so thats nice
Tickets for gymnastics all booked and spent £10 of entertainment budget having pcinic with friend last night (but got a bottle of wine out of it as a belated bday pressie) so thats all good...
Am tempted to go and reduce overdraft at lunchietime but dont want to run out of money before the end of the month - hmmmm need to think on that!!
Rest day running wise today and OH down tonight so we'll stay in and drink the free wine 0 -
Hello All!
Having a good weekend
Run 20 miles this week - whoop!!!
Got a villa through OHs work for October for £99 for the week in Spain and flights for £89 so thats a weeks holiday for £200 for the both of us - I'll have to pay him my £100 at some point but its pretty good I think and something to look forward too as the cold nights draw in
Eaten really healthy as well and feeling all round good - am hoping for a few more lbs to drop off in the next week or two - have to go to the docs next week for a check up so they can check my weight again - put on 5kgs when I was ill and have lost about 2-3 already I think but confirmation will be nice - I'd like to be back under 60kgs again anyway 0 -
Morning!
Am doing reasonabley well - opened an account for my nephew for his birthday and spoke to lovely woman at the co-op about switiching my account!! So hopefully can do that in November when my loan is paid off
Running's going well - hoping for a 10 miler tomorrow but we'll see 0 -

Not sure - but I get access to the loan account on internet banking and I think I would lose that if I moved so want to keep it as it reassures me to see it going down every month
One on the 18th and then 4 more payments to make 0 -
