Bang...and the debt is gone! (Hopefully!)

MissShoes

£25 in bank

£10 in savings

£1.35 in purse

£25ish in grocery budget (have just stocked up and also have £5 off Mr T voucher for next week so just need to find £10 to get up to minimum spend)

very long and hard week at work, not had time to post or catch up on my favourite diaries.

Will have a quiet weekend of housework, reading, cooking and exercising. Also looking forward to a long hot shower and a cup of tea- focusing on simple pleasures to get me through these tough months.

15 days til payday

I can see your house sparkling from here!

Sorry I've been away (work)... I hope you have a relaxing weekend seeing as your work has been hard going.

MissShoes

lots still to do on my list but i'm successfully ignoring it for now.

NSD yesterday and NSD today

cardtown V day card for OH arrived today for freeeee.

OH had interview today for a 5/6 month contracts- he should find out tomorrow or Wed if he got it- fingers crossed

down to £13 in bank, £1.35 in purse, £10 in savings plus £21 in savings. We do have a £5 off voucher for Mr T but need £35 in order to get this- so have to find £14 extra for this. Thinking hats on.

Have around £4.70 heading my way from quidco in the next payment run- any ideas when this is??

miggy

All the best to your OH! And he must be well thought of to be getting regular interviews.

You have the same Slow Cooker as I have and I love it. Only watch out for the little feet - they come loose! I would still get the same again though if anything disasterous happened to mine.

Hiddenidenity

Good Morning

Hope all is ok

Hope the interview goes well as for Quidco they pay out on the 1st and 15th of the month so should be released tomorrow x
