oops_a_daisy

lol jesster you WILL have a no spend day if you like it or not

Hi D & DD not seen you for a while - dare I ask how the not smoking is going ?

I listed 10 books on green metropolis yesterday so fingers crossed there - am wondering about listing them on Amazon too
Today we should manage with what I already have baked and cupboard stuff. Dropped off some clothes at the charity shop this morning too.
Not really an active DFW day today but still doing better with my new lifestyle than I was a couple of months ago.

OOps a daisy, I reckon you can list in both places, as long as you remember to remove when somethings sold somewhere. Ive listed on GM and only sold the one so far, will list some on amazon this week I think too. If they sell in neither places, they are going in the bootsale box, just dont have the room for them at the mo!

not a very good df day today. went to look round my new office today and was really early so went to the shop for some cleaning products that i didn't really need. Am cleaning my house because it is going on the market in the morning, I did do two and a half hours overtime so i guess it makes up for the spend. And i didn't buy any lunch.

Well, after having a chat on here with Jaymz, I have found out that I can overpay more than I thought on my Nationwide loan.

I took myself off to the bank at lunchtime and paid another £500 off it. This brought the end date from April 07 ot Jan 07. It also means I can overpay more and get rid faster. Would never have done that in my life before DFW.

Very pleased.

That is so cool! Just goes to show...you were obviously told incorrect information in the first place....

Well done for being proactive...

umm not really a debt free day today
playschool fee's needed paying 87.50 still it saves an even bigger bill next month
spent 4ish quid on stuff i never really needed
went to mum and tots which cost another 1.00
had to get the bus to see the midwife which was another 3.40 (its only a 10min ride)
but dh managed to sell a spare fishing jacket he had for 40.00 (he got it free in the first place)

Thanks Annie Fanny.

Yes, the irony is that it was Nationwide themselves who told me I could only overpay £100 per month.

So when Jaymz mentionned it on here I phoned them up. They said I can overpay any amount anytime!!!

Still didnt believe them so I called again - same answer.

Debt will go at least 6 months early (saving £50 in interest) MSE in action!!

grrr...felt like not having a dfw day at all and going and spending too much- but restrained myself, which wouldn't have happened a month ago! Sent out apology emails to all in address book as virus took hold and sent out random email (got various replies, including my mother who had a big go about putting an apostrophe in thanks- it wasn't me and anyway :mad: )

So took lunch to work and got a free bottle of diet coke while there which was nice. Arrived home to news that I have a refund in my credit card balance :j from a PSP I ordered that never came from mydv.com AND they refunded me the interest as well so pleased about that (was feeling cynical and expecting a fight over that).

Now going to get kids and cook huge meal to freeze some and take more to work for lunch tomorrow. Also managed to find a present for child's birthday this week in cupboard so that's money I don't have to spend

I am so impressed with myself today! I had to go to Tesco because I had absolutely nothing in to eat. Anyway, my week's worth of shopping came to just £12.02! I was sooo careful! And that includes dinners because I'm still off work this week.
