    Sounds good - well done on having that much money left at the end of the month.

    Erm, did you plant the peas outside? Are they under the snow now? Poor little things!

    I am really pleased - can't remember the last time I had that much money left!

    No, they are indoors, in toilet roll tubes. Think it's going to be another few weeks before we can get anything outside, grr!

    As I've got a bit of time to do sums etc this morning I've updated my sig with the amounts that will come off tomorrow. Quite amazed I've paid off over £500 this year!

    That's a fair old chunk of money left just before payday!! Well done!

    I'm doing my seedlings in loo rolls this year too...although I've not started anything off yet - that's penciled in for next week.

    Any more news on the "moving in" malarky?

    Mr Squizz keeps laughing at me as I'm saving loo rolls, any sort of plastic container/ tray that comes along, and the cardboard bits that fit over the ends of printer cartridges in the box - all for planting things in.

    Nope no progress on that front, I haven't slept at home since the middle of Jan and until Friday I hadn't actually been there for a fortnight - but I guess he still needs that little safety net. Anyway my parents are staying at mine this weekend so I will actually be using the place!

    Ta Beanie :)

    Just done quick SOA for the month and I think I have £388 left after bills etc - unless I've missed something. Considering doing a course which runs from May - July which is £165 which if I paid for this month would leave me with £223. Not decided yet though.

    I definitely do not need clothes or toiletries this month. Oh, except hair dye but I have enough points on my Boots card for that.
