Housesitting for DD2 today whilst new bath and carpets are fitted - hopefully in that order.

Just looked at my finances - mortgage will definitely bounce on Christmas Eve. :eek: How can I find £300 in 2 weeks?

Morning all

Could anyone please tell me where the snowball calculator is on this site. I cant seem to find it!!

I have clocked up a £25k debt in 5 years which has prevented us from getting a mortgage (Even though we are requesting a lower mortgage) so I think this might help me.

Thanks
Victoria

Morning all

I saw that interview on BBC this morning about the English Whiskey, I wonder why they stopped 100 years ago distilling it in england, maybe lack of demand? Hope it works out for them considering they have stumped up £3.6 million :eek:

B slept for 14 hours last night and has woken with no temp and back to her normal self (well nearly) so have sent her to school. Im at work until 1pm then going home to blitz the house as a serious lack of housework has been done lately!

Maz, not long now hun and yes I agree Erin is too old and tall for being a cow!
Bookie, not sure where you can get £300 from hun, if you find an answer let me know, as I could do with the extra to pay back stupid housing benefit overpayment!

Luc hun hope you are ok, we will be here today so do keep popping back when you need to :grouphug:
SRM another busy day for you
Squizz...work pah!

Pooky

Morning all

Sally - have they given you an explanation as to why they've overpaid you?

Maz - I bet you're really excited...just go easy on the poor boy, he'll be all jet-lagged.

Bookie - Hope you manage to get some money sorted.

Hello the rest of you :wave:

I've whizzed around all 3 floors with the hoover, collected up all the washing and puts all the bedrooms straight.....kitchens all tidy, living room is dust free and sparkly and coffee is in hand......lovely.

Today I must....

• Finsih DD1's fleece blanket - wrap it (and DD2s)
• Repair DD2's blazer - some oik ripped the sleeve out :rolleyes: (luckily it only tore the stitching and not the fabric but I need to undo the lining to repair it)
• Make something yummy for tea (I'm thinking chorizo and mixed bean pasta bake)
• Wait for my new phone to arrive (PAYG handset, thanks to having upgrade points it's cost me £4.88 - it's nothing flash but might actually be easier to use than the old brick I have now ((can't justify anything swisher as I only seem to put £10 on every 3 months))
• Get the final christmas food list drawn up.
• Maybe pop to library if phone arrives early.
