Chops Chipping the credit card debt!!

Honesty is the best policy, honestly!

The DFD's are cool, cos you will get honest replies, whether they are always what you want to hear or not may often be two different things, but I have found that if I think I have to "fess up" on my diary that often its enough for me to reconsider the spend - is it necesssary or not? Amazing how tight, I mean frugal, being a Diary poster makes ya!!

I need to update my signature, one of my cards is almost below £1k - yep its an absolute MIRACLE. One I am proud of and cannot wait for it to be gone gone gone.

hun go on holiday and enjoy it, you deserve it and if it postpones your dfd so what, you are working so hard to get that down that you should have a good time whilst you can with your boys.

anyways thats my opinion, I'll shut up now

Todays plan was to play in the now...but my children said its to cold!! :eek: I think they are all snowed out.

Its been snowing in the night, and is still coming down now. So looks like a day in for us. (light weight children!!)

House is really tidy, but I am going to do a quick wizz round in the hope that I wont have loads to do on monday.

Got some washing to put away, and might do a quick hour ironing whilst I watch a film....If I can liberate the lounge TV from the kids!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Hi chops, I agree that you should go on holiday, you are working really hard and don't want to get burn't out, i also feel that its good to get away have a break, you then feel refreshed and ready to go again.

My kiddies are also snowed out,DS is desperate to go out on his new bike that he got for christmas, he has only been out on it once as its just too dangerous for him to ride it.

Oh bless him, I think I love snow cause its only around for a little while.....we have had it solid for three weeks, so its getting a bit much.

Checked the banking, and all diect debits for this month are out....our month runs from the 12th...so I have updated the spread sheet and its ready for January's wage amounts to be entred!!

Ha I am off to get lunch and whip rund with the hoover

Just read the post, and seams we are getting a refund for some insurance. They increased it last year, and they are refunding us the increase.? ?

Its bad but I am not really sure what we have this insurance for..so shall investige and I may end up canceeling it unless its something we need!

Won 10p and 25p on scratches that all for me.

House clean,:A shopping ordered for Monday...whopping £147 :eek: but it will last us for the next 6 weeks.....and I really can't face going out in this weather at the moment..so got my moneys worth out of the delivery charge!!

So will have £50 for other food...fresh fruit, veg etc but I think this will be ok.

Off to play a board game with the kids now, then got a lovely curry and wine with hubby for a late dinner...it smells yummy!!!!:D

I have done my meal plan for the week:

Sun: Lamb dinner
Mon: Bacon, egg, mushrooms and waffles
Tue: Fish cake and mash and peas
Wed: Shep pie
Thur: Lamb hot pot (left over lamb)
Frid : Chicken curry

I am going to make some fairy cakes today for pack ups, and maybe some flapjack.

I am going to do another hour ironing, and that should clear the basket...hopfully...where does it all come from:rolleyes:

I ordered my shopping yesterday, and have paid for it on my credit card...so when it arrives I will transfer that money straight from my bank account. I stilll want my tesco points!!

I really don't have much to do today, hubby working, DS1 playing out, DS2 playing with his castle....I am a little borred!!! So shall crack on with the ironing and stay off facebook!!
