now you see i hadn't even considered getting my monthly pay each week, but it's a lovely thought. Every time i calculate my monthly totals i am pleased with my progress but in the lull in the middle of the month i start getting annoyed with myself that i haven't made better headway into them.
you're credit union savings are soon mounting up, won't be long before you make your first overpayment.

Lemon tree - can wait to make overpayments.

Didnt spend anything today so bank balance is the same as yesterday.

Closing balance +£1118.87

NSD July - 1 day- today 5th July :beer:

Hiya,

For having money left over each month after all the payments is great ! I personally have picked one of my debts (my overdraft) to pay the most money to every month to really see it going down, which is making me more keen to pay everything off.

As for your OH signing up to a dating website, id talk to him about it. Just say you noticed when you guys were doing the finances that he had money going to this dating site and you were wondering why he was using it. Obviously I dont know him or your guys relationship but to put your mind at ease you should prob ask him about it.

Keep up the good work

Ps. just noticed on the other page that your home insurance is 40+ a month, is there anyway this could be reduced a little ? I was paying 25 (roughly) and its down to 12 now.

Thanks everyone for replies.

Have spoke to OH about dating website but prior to this i Googled his user name and not good news- he has also registered on a website for married/attached personswho want to have affair. Consequently tonight my head is a shed!!!

Going to look at insurance for buildings and contents insurance as its up for renewal in august so that is tomorrows task. Will keep you all informed of any developments xxx :mad:

Hi Westiedog,

What did your OH say when you questioned him?
Might borrow your idea of posting a bank balance on my diary fi you don't mind:rolleyes:

One explanation that could be fairly innocent- my ex was a member of the adult friend dating site thing, and he used it to watch the videos people would post, rather than as an actual dating site...perhaps this could be the reason?
