I'm at work so reading and running, but what a lovely choice to have :T
I'll digest this new information the weekend and comment then, but apply for the jobsMortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

In better money news I have been advised to go for two jobs which have come up at work, one is a band higher and the other is 2 bands higher, if I got the latter it would mean a massive £10,000 more a year which is not to be sniffed at, however it would also mean going back to full time, currently I do 9-3 monday to friday which is brilliant and means I don't have to pay for any childcare so I would have to add up all the pro's and con's if (and its a big if) I got offered the job.

Oh my goodness did not think that I would be missed so much, just been a bit of a weird time was spending a lot of time applying for jobs only to get an interview mull it over and then withdraw my application, I know money is important to us all but really enjoy taking and picking my children up from school and 9-3 jobs in nursing are very rare indeed so should count my blessings. Then last week we were both off work so was busy finishing the living room and then had a long weekend in matlock camping. I don't watch big brother so I'm just hoping that my appearance back in MSE land does not coincide with some weirdo being evicted and start you all thinking that I am that weirdo :rotfl:
Just to confirm I have not been spending too much
June Summary
Overdraft 1 [STRIKE]£120 [/STRIKE] £0 :T
Santander [STRIKE]£1898[/STRIKE] £1500
Barclaycard [STRIKE]£4702 [/STRIKE] £4202
Car Loan [STRIKE]£610[/STRIKE] £472
Total Debt [STRIKE]£7330[/STRIKE] £6174
Amount Debt Reduced £1,156
Total debt Repaid 2010 £6,476
So not doing too badly although we are not having a good month this month as we had a weekend away which I do not regret as it was brilliant but we spent far too much. I'm still waiting to hear about a tax rebate although aren't holding my breath they've just asked me for yet another form so will have to send that off tomorrow if I get the chance. I'll now go and take a look at all your diaries to see what has been going on.
Total Debt: [STRIKE]£24,359.79[/STRIKE] £16,452
debt reduced by 32%
