    Oh no, I was annoyed that mine was £1.60 over!

    have you checked why?

    (When mine was more over a time before I found out they'd started charging me for voicemail :mad:)

    Oh no Happy, make sure you go to the doctors if it happens again next month, it never hurts to get these things checked.

    Did your OH give the bank what for the other day?

    can i check whether purchasing pressies on Boxing day for the following Christmas counts as being within the christmassy period?
    I have to admit i'm bar humbug about things like decorating too early but i do get pressies sorted out way in advance so i can try and get them in the sales.

    Jody that's a huge amount to spend at christmas, sounds like you're going to save yourself a fortune this year if you only do token pressies, just be careful not to add others to your list cos you're not spending as much on the normal ones (easy to do by accident) and that your token pressies don't end up too expensive as well.

    Hi Woowoo!
    I've finally got to the end of your diary (after about 2 weeks!) and I just wanted to day that I think you're doing amazingly well. I love the idea of making lots of payments, and they soon add up. DH and I pay a set amount each month on payday, and what's left is for us, but I think i'm going to see what I can shave off the various budgets to make some extra payments too. :)
