    well guys today is a very very good day!

    you may have noticed my new avatar... yes you guessed it, it's credit card number one, cancelled, chopped up, photographed for posterity and chucked in the bin! :j oh I am soooooooo pleased today, I only have one credit card left (other than the one i use as a cashback spends card!)... for this one I want to say a huge big thank you to mcbirnie...without him I might have given up on the bank charges when it got scary and confusing but he sat and read through all the scottish legislation stuff and explained it all to me. He is a total star and I'm gonna miss him terribly when he leaves :(

    Today I also cut my od down by £500. I could have gotten rid totally but this is a five week month for me, as was last month, so technically I need two mortgage payments this month instead of one :eek: so I've had to keep a £250 od to help pay that. That should get cleared at the end of march when I next get paid.

    It's also been a very productive day with me being ahead of schedule for a change. The second load of washing is in the machine, the first is hanging up drying. Once this load is done I'll stick in my bedding then thats the washing basket emptied again, couple of handwash bits to do too. I've done two loads of dishes which means only the cup I'm using now is dirty. As I said I've called the cc and bank plus I've set myself wht I think is a realistic budget for this week, including spends for my granda's birthday party and possible travel. I really need to get into the budgetting thing so I don't get in a mess this month. It's not going to be a fun one!

    Left to do today is very little! I'm leaving the house about 6ish for the gym and while I'm there I'll nip into asda and get the fresh stuff I need for this week and that'll be one part of my budget spent! Then it's back by 8.30 to heat up the last of last nights chinese and watch my darling beloved as he kicks the butt of the dirty muslim terrorists! mmmmmm when I meet the man of my dreams I'm going to change his name to Jack Bauer before I marry him... (you up for that lenny? :rotfl: )

    Yay for cutting up your credit card. Nice pic of it too :) You've been so productive today, bet you feel great. have a good time at the gym! The one I joined isn't open on sundays which is a bit annoying. Ah well,

    I'm guessing I was either nekkid or had the bottle wedged down my cleavage then? :rotfl:
  • No no, the bottle stayed firmly in the optic holding, the contents however were consumed by your good slgihtly inotixicated self.
