    Hi and welcome out of lurkdom :wave:

    I broke the spatula with molten marshmallows the first time I used it :o :rotfl::rotfl:

    Apart from that it's awesome!

    I haven't collected the codes since I got my set (Anchor is pricey!) but I know that DedicatedDFW was looking for some if you have any going spare :D

    Quick update as I'm about to go to bed:

    1. Only spends today were in Boots and Accessorize as posted earlier

    2. Closed Barclaycard

    3. Found missing Tesco voucher

    4. Cancelled LoveFilm before the end of the free trial

    5. Mr Fresian made me dinner :j

    6. In the last two days I have "decluttered" the last of the Carte D'or and half a tub of Ben and Jerrys

    7. I applied for a new job outwith The Bank today (EEK!)

    8. Six items on Ebay will sell, current total is £18.64 (One of those has 15 watchers though!!) Only five of the nineteen items listed have no watchers, so I'm hopeful of a good result - I would like to make £50 from this, anything else is a bonus.

    Night all :wave:

    2. Closed Barclaycard

    :T Well done for getting rid of the BCard- that's two customers they've lost within 1 week! Hurrah- we are winning the battle :j (slowly, but we'll get there! :D)
  • Hi Flying Fresian - I ventured in to the Boots sale too - am hoping they have some stuff left as I only had a short lunch today and was very rushed and worrying about overspending missed out on some savvy gifts! :rolleyes: Thank you for referring to me for the butter codes muchly appreciated.

    Take Care

    Morning all!

    Payday tomorrow and I still have some money left - only £30 but it's a start

    I'm needing to do some jiggery-pokery with money tomorrow, so just for my own reference:

    £643 to be sent to bills account
    Send money to accounts for Entertainment, Christmas and Food
    PAD of £141.63 tomorrow (Overtime)

    Ebay

    £20.15 in sales at the moment, auctions end on Sunday

    Other sales

    Book sold this morning, need to parcel before work and send Mr Fresian to the Post Office :D

    Debt

    Payday tomorrow, so a quick update:

    Debt = £5806.57 (Boo....)
    Savings = £1275.07

    Debt minus savings = £4531.50
    Original debt - £9112.63

    I have finally paid off more than half my debt

    Congratulations!:beer:
    I always saw 50% as the top of the hill, so once you are over halfway you are making your way down rather than struggling up. It made me feel better anyway, but it looks a bit naff written down!

    Anyway, big big well done to you xx
