    Evening :D

    Today was Ashli's birthday. My god... 5 years old... where did THAT go? :eek: Have had a lovely day though, Ash had quite a few presents from us and I treated her to a princess and the frog cake, despite the fact she'll be having her proper party on sunday it seemed wrong to not have one on her birthday! Nearly £9 it was! Jeeeeeeeeesus. Daylight robbery that. Either way she loved it and we had a lovely evening putting together her new 'tall castle'. She's obsessed with princesses since they saw Princess and the frog! Everything she's had so far has been princess related! lol

    Have had another busy week so far, it's been manic. Going well though this week, no unusual or surprise costs, have been keeping to my budget nicely and going to be saving another £10 on band this week as we couldn't get the room. Might be going out friday night but I rarely spend anything as I hardly drink anymore and always drive on nights out so can't see that being a problem. :)

    Will update the spending diary tomorrow as I've left my receipts downstairs and I'm comfy in bed now.. lol

    In other news my band's been provisionally booked for a charity gig, so watch this space :D I've also set up a facebook group for the band.. if you fancy joining click here :D

    Right... that's enough work I think, have been sat in bed typing up work cases and had enough now so might catch and early night. I say early as the past few nights I've not been going to sleep until gone half 11! eek! No wonder I'm yawning my head off....

    Night all :D

    Wooooooooo it's fridaaaaaaaaay, and you know what that means, it's credit card day :D
    Another £92.09 paid off this morning (£82.09 normal money and £10 for band which isn't til next thurs so will be in next weeks budget)

    so new total £252.60 :D:D:D So close to debt free!! Woohoo!

    My wages went in today too so that plus the maintenance will be covering the bills. Sorted out my bills the other day so my monthly water bill is going down, plus I'm now getting some council tax benefit due to the council tax going up apparently, so will only having a small increase on my bill this year. Also because my rent arrears will be cleared after this month my rent bill will be going down a bit from next month.

    Sooooooo close to being debt free!! :T :)
