    Well in a way we would be paying off something because I would be reducing the o/d, so while we don't need the money the interest charge on the o/d would be less but LOL DH knowing there is available money is dangerous :rotfl:

    At least you would be getting some interest-reducing benefit from it. And can't you hide the statements from OH and maybe allow an 'accident' to happen to his cash card?

    Happy anniversary as well: have a lovely day! :D

    Herewego - I will definately be able to make a little over payment, I have a total of £1000 monthly and that should allow for about £100 month extra!

    Pickle - yes I can hide statements but he needs cash card sometimes - he doesn't really check just listens to what I say (sometimes)

    Ok - so why did everyone's sister get married on the same day!!!

    Hello

    Was out with work last night - very expensive night, had to go back to ATM machine and was paniced that a dd would come out today and thus didn't sleep - got home today to find it is due tomorrow, so all sorted! So determined not to pay any more charges to Absurd& Ludcrious!

    Not too much else to report - budget on target and all well with banks - what more could a girl want!

    No Woo indeed I do not, already made their shareholders smile too much!

    Been playing with the pennies again this evening, next week is our 'bad week' in that we have a lot to pay out - more bleeding apples too of course! But DH got a better deal on the rhubarb today which will save about 50%, which is great.

    And another interesting fact - flour has had the biggest price rise in 35 years this month - apparently world stocks are low because Russians refusing to sell for whatever reason.

    Don't ever say you don't learn something on this diary!

    Ineed you do. Let's just hope they don't start on the gas next!

    And well done on the rhubarb as well. I don't like it, personally: it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth at whatever price, but loads of others like it, so I bet it sells well. :T

    Yuck to anything with rhubarb in it (although I reckon I could flog the rhubarb and ginger one to mum! ;)), but the apple and raspberry sounds good! :D

    What else do you make?
