I cancelled my Standing Order for my loan today - the remaining balance is at 120 and the standing order is due on the 15th of august - so I want to make sure I put any spare money into the loan everyday until its gone.

Its amazing - no more nasty £160 coming out of my account each month.

And I finally own my car

A small step - but its a great feeling - didn't expect to feel so elated and happy about something that's small but a big deal.

Love to you all - this thread has been the biggest inspiration

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they have also trebled the cost of the rewards.

And I think you still only get a measly 5 points for a click through....think I'll give up on them now!

Oh dear guys.....I've been bad..

- I have my heating on
- I have just done my receipts and am already over all my budgets and its only half way through the month!!
- I've eaten loads of chocolate this week
- I gossiped a bit at work today about really annoying new boss.
- booked hair cut at usual high end salon

Now I will attempt to justify.
- I am cold
- Had to do lots of trips to glasgow this month so used a lto more fuel than normal
- I love chocolate
- am finding her v difficult to work with. I had to yesterday stop her telling me stuff about other people I work with such as pay gradings and the fact there was restructuring and one of my colleagues has been offered a job despite it going to be advertised on Monday and then telling me I should apply!! Gutted that she will be the person interviewing for the post I am going after as I really dont think she has a clue. She had to send out apologies to people today after jumping the gun and doing things before she thought about them or getting the right advice. She is just covering my lovely bosses maternity post and I really want to support her and like her but she is making it very hard.
- hair desperately needs cut and its a case of better the devil you know

Anyway, this is not the what moan can you have today thread so now will mention things I have done

- put all receipts into spreadsheet so I can see what budget looks like
- printed out directions for the co-op bank to take my id stuff for the new account. My local branch is 45 miles away. Must sign up for internet when it gets set up.
- got electric key token thing verified so I can top up my meter
- had a no spend day
- food from stores
- tubbed large pot of chilli and put 10 portions in the freezer
- did two washings on the quick cycle. I didnt even know my machine had a quick cycle until tonight. This prepayment meter really making me think of my electric consumtion
- printed out freebie tickets for the proposal for me and dd. 2nd time seeing it for me.
- am currently filing all old paperwork :T
- going to do the comparrison thing for my car insurance. Its due on the 19th - oops!!
- prepare for cost at the end of the month that I havent budgeted correctly for such as car tax....a wee holiday to caravan park in Oct, our hair etc
- checked banking
- cant do scratchies yet cause I need to put money back in
- emailed photo verification to tab to be able to withdraw
- check junk email account
- offered to help friend paint her house - just cause I want to but also thinking they may help me if I ever need it sometime in the future
- sent dd a text to find out what time I need to pick her up tomorrow.
- completed a free school meals and clothing grant form and sent. I dont qualify (earn £40 a year too much) but going to write a letter, explain circumstances and try my luck
- chasing up the bank re hardship claim. Got statement in and got charged £290 in the last two months alone!!
- written some debt letters - will print in the morning and post

Not sure if anyone reads back the previous day - but just wanted to say a heartfelt thanku for all the great and supportive messages yesterday. Even one day makes things seem better - will post a new to-do list later.

**Hugs** to anyone else who also needs them - Sorry to hear T is ill Lurleene.
Dawn - my sister taught me to have a series of signals (that only you know) like if you tuck your hair behind your ear it means - "shut up" or "you're really mean" or whatever it is you want to say. Makes you smile even when you don't feel like it!!
