I'm on to it honest.:D

Paid off 1 credit card and closed it.

Balanced transferred another.

Got 0.0% balance transfers and money transfers until march 2011.

Transferred some of that above to bank in order to buy a car for work.

Hubby sold one car, bought another on finance he got a good deal.

I have 50 items on ebay, some quite high value, 75% have bids.:D

Will sell my people carrier (which is no good for work) when I get my smaller, more economical car. So more money in the pot.

Got numerous DD's to cancel after having a good look at my account and what I actually need to spend out on. Seem to have too many insurances going on.:o

Already paid off an amount on my 0.0% credit card and will not be spending any thing else on it.

If I'm lucky and wise, I probably won't spend all the money transferred in my account on a car so can bung that straight back onto the debt busting.

Car I intend to get is cheaper insurance bracket and car tax so will save there too.

See I have a plan and am implementing it.;)

Great plan - just need to try not to blow it by cluttering up the kitchen!

Call finished early, so cake has been rescued and is cooling. Should be ready to buttercream and cover tomorrow evening, then I can do the fiddly bits on Saturday, and it'll be eaten on Sunday!

I'm not, cheeky , you will be very impressed to hear that I have decluttered numerous cast iron cookware, I gave some to my friend who visited the other day, some is on ebay, more to follow. I have been through my cupboards and where I have multiples of things, I have either binned if useless, ebayed or charity shopped.

Which reminds me I need some strong bin bags.

Afternoon all,

Well, boss was back today but fortunately I found something to keep me occupied most of the morning and I sneaked in a small pair of headphones and listened to the radio online too - that certainly helped!

But as soon as I walked out the office, down came the rain again. It's cloudy and dark enough here to have the lights on.

But, fortunately, in what little light we do have, I can see that my cleaning of the living room windows in the dark didn't result in any streaks so that's a plus

Off to do the bathroom etc. now..

hi quick question:

I have a draught excluder that says wipe clean only but it has a light back and as we have wooden floor in hallway it gets dirty as the door drags across the floor as its opened, can I risk putting it in the machine, its made of polyester, Acrylic and cotton?

What do you think?
