    well thats progress!

    Well done on the day as a whole. I think even pumping yourself up for a better attitude is a great help! I'm looking forward to my day off from work tomorrow even though I have loads to do in the house, and won't get much of a lie in.

    Oh well!

    What a rubbish day!

    Rang head office yesterday to check on my expenses claim and they assured me the money'd be in my account this morning. And was it? Was it flip. Why don't they just say they've no clue when I'll get it? Why make it up? :mad:

    Work's real busy right now, everything was frantic and messy today. Quite like that though, makes the day go quickly. Doesn't help though when I'm having to train someone who supposedly already knew everything :mad:

    I'm still being very thorough with my salad and fruit salad boxes for my lunches. Tomorrow's are all ready to go, when usually I'd buy my lunch on a sat. So that's a saving I guess

    Didn't actually spend any money today, thinking about it. Just feels as though I did because of my missing expenses. I'll probably get them next thurs, the day after flippin payday :rolleyes:

    I'm all psyched up to pay off my lowest debt next week. It's just over £100 now, I think I did enough overtime last month to cover it :T

    All's quiet and I can't sleep, seems like a good time to update!

    Had another rrrrrubbish day at work. Seem to be having more and more lately. Even rang another store to about one of their vacancies, waiting to hear back.

    Had a crap couple of nights in the pub, then a crap argument with my ex over who knows what :confused:

    Got my expenses back - in a cheque :mad: It was supposed to be paid by BACS, but now the cheque won't cash til about wed/thurs. Very useful with wed being payday :rolleyes: :mad:

    Oddly enough though I'm in a really good mood! Something wrong with me, there must be :rolleyes:

    Spent £2.50 on two tubs of lovely ice cream. Have to go shopping for my lunches tomorrow though, that'll be about a tenner. Come on wednesday....

    One tub of Lavazzo, which is a gorgeous latte flavour, and one tub of greek yoghurt and honey, which I've not tried before. 2 for £2.50 bargain

  • Hey PeachPickle!

    I'm sure SS made you smile last night - but he wonders why he doesn't have a lady friend!: rotfl:

    I just wanted to say that you are doing really well. Its a hard slog this DFW stuff (you'll know that much better than me, you've been doing it for over 4 years!) but you sound like you are really motivated and doing really well.

    If you are planning to buy a mag sub, make sure you check out quidco - then you might get some cashback on your purchase, that'll make it more than worth it!

    Anyway - looking forward to your updates. Keep smiling.

    scottishspendaholic x
    MBNA = £4,000 / Next = £925 (approx. tbc on 19/8)
    Tesco = £2,910.11 / Smile overdraft = £500
    Bank of Scotland = £2,782.83

    Poor poor SS, have you been dumped? :p

    Scottish, you're a genius. I can get both of the mags I want to subscribe to through Quidco. I've signed up to one now, and I'll sign up to ! when they change the free cd to something other than flippin madonna :rolleyes: Thanks!
