Thanks for your post to my diary. And well done on overcoming your wibble. I bought something else this morning! An Edina Ronay merino wool cardigan in TK Maxx for £12, in a very nice greige-y colour. But it's come out of my weekly £30 personal spends so that's OK. And it is rather lovely - am trying to upgrade wardrobe on a budget to the kind of better quality items feel someone of my age should have! And none of it's gone on credit card as have not used any since August 08. V pleased.
Just off to do some ebay photos as want to up the ante on my debt this month and get over £500 repaid - £464 so far, so a few ebays might see me crash through that barrier.
Have a great w/e and enjoy the time spent with your boy - 2 of mine are in grunt phase now! But they are lovely too.

Hello and thank you hr100.
Mrs R - that's brilliant on the ebay. All the money I made just got us through the month and no ebay to fall back on this month, just good common sense apparently......

Evening to anyone who's out there......
Reporting for duty. Terribly day yesterday moneywise. Both me and OH were doing things which cost money :eek: but we knew it was going to happen, still in budget and have got to be exceptionally well behaved for the rest of the week
Thankfully resolved ebay situation and relisting item to get back the overdraft buffer. Also been offered a small bonus at work which I will put into the overdraft as I don't like teetering so close to it every month as the charges just aren't worth it if I overtip - and I don't want to touch a CC to pay for anything extra. Have just realised that I actually haven't used a credit card now since August :j:j and therefore my debt has most definately gone down!
