Right, well everything is sorted now. After having run round like a headless chicken, and two very restless nights sleep, finally found out that is takes 4 days for the amount to transfer if it is over £250. And exactly where is that publicised on their website or in branch? Nowhere!!!

On more of a plus note, found out an old jessops voucher, and got two camera cases- one looks nice enough to pass as a mini handbag, so cool for nights out!!

Thanks hun. This week was pretty stressy, but it has gotten better as the week has gone on. Not managed to pay as much off the cards as I would have liked to, but thats with the loan messing up (see above).

laserquest and Las Iguanas tonight. On a tight budget though, so no alchohol for me. But hey I'm sure it will be fun.

Had a brilliant time yesterday and only spent my £20 that I had budgeted. Got a lovely makeover at Bobby Brown, and then sprayed myself some lovely Aqua Di Palma Magnolia Nobile perfume,free 24hr parking over the weekend where I work and actually enjoyed drinking free tap water, and not having a hangover this morning. Yay!

Fab :j You are amazing at getting freebies, I don't think I'm cheeky enough

I stuck to my budget last night too, and am enjoying a hangover free, lazy Sunday

Sounds good. Well I figure that restaurants and the like have had a fair wad of cash out of me over the years, so just trying to save a few pennies. Glad you had a good time last night. Wasn't very nice weather for wearing the shoes though. My feet got soaked. Yuk!

Posting off shoes tomorrow so there are a few extra pennies. Yay! Keep looking at Bodyshop smellies but can't bring myself to buy anything. I don't want to spend a penny. I figure if I go without a few of those luxuries, then the sooner I can pay that Virgin card off, and the less interest they will get out of me.

Really desperate for a belt though, mine's on its last legs, but until it actually breaks, I'm not going to buy another one.

Well although I'm not out of the woods yet, after this first month, I can feel like I'm underway with my debt free journey. There have been ups and downs, and I'm sure there will be more to come, but for now I'm feeling slightly more contented and like a miniscule weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'll be a bit happier when we start to hit the summer months, when you can see a bit more of a dent in these totals.

Hope to definitely have a new job by then to bring some more money in, and help to save for my course in november. Going to draw £10 out of my bank tomorrow, and my challenge is to make it last me the month. This is my emergency cheesy puff fund, and for any other cheap pick me ups.

Really craving some grapes at the mo, so might pick some up from the market tomorrow.

Bleugh. Monday. Why do the weekends always go so quickly? Anyway, good point is that Paypal is verified so can withdraw funds now. Library is back open in our town, so can grab a new one to read after I have finished that one.
