Ooooh Alton Towers sounds good. Hope you have a great time.

I'm a little anxious about surviving the month after biting the bullet and paying it off but I'm up for the challenge.

I am smiley. But that's because it's the weekend!

A lazy Saturday for me. NSD so far but might pop out tonight for a couple.

Had tea and toast for breakfast and a huge cous cous salad and fruit for lunch.

Obsessively checking my credit expert file- I now have 3 accounts that should be showing as satisfied/settled and aren't. 2 of them I'm being impatient about but one has an incorrect balance on it- it has been settled so now waiting to hear from creditexpert about this.

Onepoll is up to £31.15. Must keep on at this- reckon I could reach the £40 payout at end of November.

Researching an outfit to a family event, hate spending money on it but no choice as have nothing suitable. Will double up as my Christmas party outfit to get my money's worth, then I'll probably sell it on.

Vague wonderings for meal planning this week:

pasta bake with tuna, onion and a can of toms
sausage and mash with broccoli and peas
thai red chicken curry with microrice and poppadoms
baked salmon with cous cous and salad
beef enchiladas with salad
one night of cottage pie (frozen into portions already, just needs zapping in the microwave)
prawn stirfry

cereal, toast, eggs, smoothies, coffee and tea for breakfast

home made lunches for me- OH still prefers to pay some of his wages back to his employers via their canteen. I will make salads, pasta, cous cous or sandwiches. Will not give in!

Hey,

Just seen your diary. Well done on getting rid of the DP debt. :j

I love DP so when they were about to offer me a card, I just shouted "NO!" in the woman's face, got my stuff and ran out! Luckily, I've not been in that one since (there maybe a photo of me in the staff room saying 'Beware')

Keep up the good work - I'll pop in occasionally to keep an eye out :rotfl:
