    Well I only have £2.20 left from my £30, but at least I didn't spend my emergency tenner!

    My head hurts and I am kind of deaf this morning! I found my shoes on the kitchen table when I got up?

    Time for another cuppa I think, before shower and dog walk!

    Sounds like it was a good night and well done on not dipping into your emergency £10 AND you came home with change! Result all round! :money:

    Yeah, its what is killing us :( Because we are right at the limit of that OD...its so easy to go into the "reserve" but because of DD's we can't remove the reserve yet :( Need to get the OD beat so we can tackle some other high interest debts. I do have a plan, just hope we can stick to it x

    Grrrr! I annoy myself sometimes! Woop £22 every 5 days reserve here I come :(:(:(

    You are in the reserve club too? It's so annoying! We have asked for a normal overdraft which will be easier to pay back (as won't have around £72 in charges per month) and they say no.:mad: I share your pain :)

    That's another £10 for lovely Lloyds!

    At least you had both your shoes, my brother once came home with only one!

    Now the countdown till next day begins, is there ever anything else lol!

    I have another £40 put aside in Novembers pay for Xmas presents, but I reckon I will need to find a further £30 as well to finish.

    The £10 left from last night isn't spare unfortunately, it's my fuel money but I always take emergency taxi money out with me just in case!
