Afternoon, (how did it get so late when I wasn't looking!)

I am hanging my head in shame today as I went off the rails a little yesterday and got talked into buying beer and cripsy duck with the housemates It was delicious though .

Anyway back on the DFW wagon today - list for today:

• Check internet banking and move money into xmas spend account
• lunch brought to work
• freeze portions of the big bolognaise I made last night
• washing and ironing so its out the way for the weekend
• write a comprehensive list before I go shopping and plan my meals so I don't overbuy
• More of the dreaded paperwork mountain
• get through another heinous day in work before celebrating the weekends arrival :rotfl:

Happy Friday everyone!

RBS are rascally robbers!
(sorry also posted this on my diary as am 'black-a-frronted')

Paid off one of my loans early and the RBS robbers took £3.17 out of my old loan account today in interest making my finished paying zero balance minus.

Seemingly it was the interest left to pay _ OK Its not that bad - BUT - when I phoned when it was finished a month ago the lady said no thats it finished don't do anything.

Marched in at lunchtime with 317p in 2ps and 1ps from my piggie bank :rotfl:

That showed them - still :mad: cross :mad: but its all sorted now. And if I hadn't of paid it straight off today - they'd charge me MORE interest.

hello all, having a crappy week as work just too much at the moment. Think I am going to have to make my opinion known about my boss as she really hasnt got a clue and just messes up everything she touches. Everyone knows about it but we are all just trying to muddle through. I have just had enough though.

Money wise, since I changed my salary to my new basic bank account, RBS have shut down my cheque account with the overdraft. Prob a good thing but its a bit inconvenient.

Today, I have
- managed a NSD
- done piggy clicks (for first time in AGES)
- done quidco clicks (for first time in AGES)
- applied for tix to see Pride and Prejudice for free (I have never seen this!)
- had pup in office all day which is good for the soul
- completed finance homework for a course I am on tomorrow
- got my expenses back for said course and travel for one I went to a few weeks ago and immediately transferred to savings account for holiday spending money which is in 2 weeks
- taking dd to meet the bus tonight to see her off on a youth weekend in Fife
- having a relaxing night in - just me, a bath, and a book I reckon

FAY - cracking way to repay RBS!
