Hi
you can check the NHS direct website for local available dentists on NHS
I would change your mobile to PAYG and change your landline to someone else, tesco does a good package and you get clubcard points, can you get cheaper pet insurance, seems a bit sttep

Hiya! Thank you for your comments!! Always much appreciated! I have tried to register with an NHS dentist in this area and it's no go!! The amount that I pay each month equals over a year the amount I would pay anyway for 2 checkups and 2 scale and polish's. ..................................................... I spend more on PAYG than I do on contract (get 500 texts included and 3 hours of calls) and I need my BT line for my broadband, I don't make calls on it, if I ever do I use the prefixes. ...................................................... The pet insurance I've got at £9.52 is the cheapest I was able to find at the time Although wouldn't do me any harm to look around again. Thank you!! x

Hope you have a spiffing weekend hun!

You truly do deserve it!
Just try not to think about the money, the exams etc for a couple of days, kick back, relax and enjoy the music. We can worry ourselves silly next week

Well, where are my manners!! Haven't posted for ages!!

Things have been going ok, plodding along really!!

Had a great weekend at Reading. Went with my budget and only spent that!:D

Still haven't decided what to do about my exams, think I may just not retake.

Debt busting is going pretty cool at the mo!! Currently paid off £450 and by the end of September hope to have increased this to £670!! :beer:

I have started doing mystery shopping, 3 assignments this week so that's £30! Not counted as income until next month though.

And got Quidco pennies mounting up. Got £60 so far and hope to increase this once I really get into my matched betting. And then there's the money from matched betting which I hope to make.

To clear my debt by May, which is my goal, I need to pay off £700 a month off my debts :eek: :eek: :eek:

Have been doing overtime in the office though and will get extra wages 3 months in a row- Aug, Sept and Oct. Might be able to get some in Nov. I've also signed up to do some electoral canvassing work and there is the potential to make quite a few squiddlies there!!

There is a rumour going round at the pub that they are going to be cutting shifts :eek: which I can't really afford. So will have to wait and see what happens there. Normally get a bonus at Christmas from them for £100. Don't know what will be happening with that either.

:think: what else???

Got a friend coming to visit next weekend!:beer: should be good! A cheap MSE weekend!!

And........................it's my birthday next week!!!!

All in all feeling pretty positive at the moment!!!

Oh yeah, and bro is behaving himself!!!

What kind of pet are you insuring? Is it an old animal? I self insure my dogs - ie put the money in a separate account each month now have an emergency fund of £1800 - my biggest ever vets bill was for my old dog (now waiting at the rainbow bridge) for £1000 which included the vet hospital fees.
Do this and the money is there if you need it & more importantly still there if you don't (not in the insurance co profit account!)

Wow, never thought of that! I pay £18 a month, and still have to pay £65 excess. I think my doggy now needs her own account!:D

Funny you should say that, in my office it's tradition to bring in cakes when it's your birthday, so this year I'm not buying any (costs a fortune!) I'm making them!!! I am making fridge cake, milkway bars and weetabix cake!! I will be sure to share them with you guys!!
