Hello chums!
Thank you so very much for all the messages, it was lovely to steal a few minutes and read them!
Our guests are going tomorrow morning - to our other SIL, who came to visit on Easter Sunday and offered to have them wed and thurs! It has been fun!
MSE - nothing on ebay, everything that was on sold for a massive £20, yes Ms HWG I have noticed your total - amazing and as someone said - £200 and that was on the 5th! Need to remove the finger once again. Spent a reasonable amount, had budgeted for their visit and did come in under budget, so thats a good thing.but need a few days to play with the figures. DH is overspending from business big style, I need to get that under control PDQ!
Two offers for missold PPI - one from First Direct and one from Mint, again haven't had the time to really study their offers (about £400 in total) but they look to me to be part settlement, anyone else been offered same. I am thinking I should as for full settlements. Whatever I get goes to Ricardo anyway.
Got rates bill today - £700 paid x10 at £70 (But then you probably could work that out for yourselves! Sorry) This is the first year I haven't paid it in full so it does feel like a bill but there you go, I will appreciate not having to pay it Feb and March next year.
Will catch up with everyones diary tomorrow night when I am home alone
PS DID NOT SMOKE. She smoked around me the whole time so I think I did exceptionally well but lets not get too cocky yet!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Well done on not smoking and putting up with SIL. It was pretty cruel of her to smoke around you knowing that your giving up but you showed her - go girl!
