    My brother has kindly offered to take me out over the weekend to buy a few things as late christmas gifts and take me out for a meal :)

    Have therefore treated my credit card to another 15 off the balance ! I have decided a few smaller payments throughout the month is better to curb any spending on daft things I may do during the sales.
  • Another £10 off the credit card because £250 is a better number :)

    Lucky you! Hope you have a lovely time. Well done on CC payment as well :T

    Thanx Mel. Guess the mini payments will add up eventually, especially if I want to get to a balance of £100 by the end of the month.

    Excited about a few new things too !
  • Another £25 paid to credit card down to £225 balance. Only £125 to go to make my target for this month.
  • Also going to challenge my home insurance company. Im going to try to get the policy cheaper and also explain that as a valued customer I would like the £50 a year for renewing with them... See how that goes :o
  • Well the policy thing didnt go as planned, got it a tiny tiny bit cheaper and a extra something or other thrown into my policy but no £50 for renewing.
