    Butterflies, I don't think I've had a holiday since 2008 now you mention it, but that will change this year, I get bored on holiday but as I'll be with friends sgould be ok.

    Had an ok first day back at work can't say I did a lot, and even that's stretching the truth a bit.

    Souk when you said sock washer reminded me I don't mind the realtionship but I'm going to be no ones drudge, which is how I felt with the ex,got sick of his whinging about not having enough time to do a bit of cleaning and working full time, I've told myself I won't be listening to that again, so it's a case of shape up or ship out if I ever go down that rocky road again, cos lets be honest it's me doing them the favour putting up with them, so I shouldn't have to suffer.

    all he had to do once a week was dust and vac, and he only said this once 'you notice when things need cleaning before I do,' he never said it again cos he didn't like the reply, the lazy twonk. His mum did everything I sometimes think he thought I should. Another one he only said once was why do I have to vac when it's mainly dog hairs and it's your dog, I said I see your point and I'll vac but we'll take it in turns to do all the other stuff cos you use everything else, he wasn't a happy bunny that day, it was a relief when he went, and I wasn't going to let him come bac which I think surprised him, so no more slavery for me, I've had my share.

    Ok girls my brother has just sold my dads 51 reg land rover discovery for £3k cash. He hoped to get £4k.
    My mum has said to split between us three including my sister.
    My brother has a grand for me in cash.

    I dont get paid till 28th this month so struggling already.
    I got tesco credit card and I think it may be around the 1,800 mark to pay off.

    Stick £300 in my current account and the rest on the credit card and keep paying £57 a month on the credit card so I dont miss it and keep moneysaving?

    Im reluctant to shift the balance as earlier in 2010 i was rejected as I was going over my overdraft. I havent been over it since september or even earlier. but not checked. there was an error on the credit report which was amended but it didnt make any difference.


    The way I see it is bills are more important than holidays. Not had a holiday since 2008.

    Personally I would put half to the credit card and use the rest to treat yourself and DD to a holiday :D
