    yeah hangovers aint fun at all i get them bad ....well this week i have concentrated in matched betting and spending on quidco...i had one bookies going but saw that skybet were giving away a free £50 so i just had to take a pop at that one:o ..hope it all goes ok ....havn't even tried to attempt the garden at all as i'm sure you can all agree with:eek: ...i've had a good few nsd's however that may be due to hubby's wages being mince ...we had £50 to do us a week that was for food, diesel, work,school ,jujitsu we actually nearly managed it borrowed a bit from nephew (£20) but have paid him £10 out of this weeks will give him the other £10 soon....but because we have been doing this drastic cut back i have managed to pay a bit off of my college bill:j :j .....so that's another one nearly out my face...yay happy days
  • Thats good to hear we're re-mortgaging so I had to "find" £315 for a survey we get it back when the mortgage completes but still a pain 10 days before payday of what has been a 6 week month!

    isnt it always the way when you have a six week month or something you have a bill land on your doorstep....i changed my mortgage in april i had to find £400 (i think)for the transfer (they said it was paper work or something) but i'm glad i did as i was changing to fixed rate i'm now at 4.69% think i did it just in time as the rates seem to be going up alot.....i'm going into glasgow tomorrow have to do jury duty at the high court..i thought it was just my local court but it's not it's the one next to the salt market ....hoping i dont get picked....

  • I could never leave :D

    But It clears all my debt so If I need to be skint for 10 days it'll do cant wait But I wont be debt free until the mortgage goes as well so I need to find a mortgage pig or mortgage terrimundi!

    Saying that my wee terrimundi is half full! woohoo! Holiday spending money! I'm going to jamacia In sept (booked before lightbulb moment) But its nearly paid and I wont be forking out daft amounts for debt so I think it worth it plus I have a mad addiction to holidays hence the debt! lol

    jamaica looks amazing ...what type of mortgage are you going for ..i have a flexible repayment ..i can pay extra to it if i want (lol as if right now) so i will use my pig when i am at that stage as i will get a reduction straight away when i pay it in ..i have a teramundi aswell for holidays...cyprus for us in july ( i think it may be our last family holiday son will be 16 by then) i dont think it's anywhere near half full though ...i got a large whisky bottle donated to me a few months ago and was putting 1ps 2ps etc in it but had to empty it the other week we had absolutely no money at all ....
  • I know that feeling was going to smash the terrimundi but just couldnt first time I've saved in my life...

    2 Maldives
    3 Los Angeles
    4 Thailand
