    OH job interview is Friday....so I shall have a WHOLE day to myself, no-one getting under my feet, annoying me :) Will be able to get up, do school run, go for a run, might meet mum for lunch and then afternoon on the allotment (weather permitting). B is going to friends for tea so won't have to pick her up until 6pm....blimey what will I do with all that time!

    Good news for today is that I had £39 quidco money +£10 virgin scratch hit my account today. Have transfered it into the freedom/pot of no return lol. Quidco are querying my £55 from talk talk so thats good :)

    Now I just need my PPI to come back from egg £1500 and I will be sorted...won't be holding my breath over that one...could clear the debts in my name if it did happen.

    Right better get ready to go to school, catch you later

    I like the idea of it being a "freedom pot" rather than the "pot of no return" :D

    Well I kind of have a pot of no return = debt pot
    and a freedom pot = pot for me to save for stuff for my new life :)

    Would really give me a boost to be able to move on...I just don't know how we will be able to otherwise.

    Am thinking about doing a car boot on Sunday if the weather is ok...have got loads of bits and bobs that need clearing out, things like old child booster seats, ride in toddler car, reals of cable cluttering the shed. Even if I get £20 its worth it tbh
