    Hi RumPunch

    You were up late!

    What's the name of your diary, I will definately subscribe and watch your progress? x

    I kind of went for treacle tart and coffee instead of the bank......

    Morning Woowoo. Glad you had a nice treacle tart with your Mum. Get those pennies paid in next week though, I still don't get how the monthly interest can be higher than the estimated interest when you are paying more than the minimum payment!

    It was yet another late night, cooking batches of meals for freezing takes ages! Then I was reading on here and writing my diary, everything should be quicker now we're up and running properly.

    My diary is called Hawaii before 50, I was thinking of Once bitten, twice shy becaues I am cross that I have ended up here again. Should have learnt the first time. Then again, I suppose I have really because I've stopped the rot in good time before it got out of control. We should be able to pay it all off by using our savings, cutting back and reducing expenditure and saving like mad. My husband thought of Hawaii before 50 because we'd like to go there on holiday and now our goal is to do it before we are 50. So it seemed more positive. 50 is a long way off yet but the years do seem to pass more quicly these days. :(

    Anyway, I'm now going to see my Mum and Dad for a few days, I can afford a few treats out of my spending allowance, though the less I spend the more that will be saved at the end of the month for the next credit card! Have a lovely Bank Holiday Monday.

    Have stopped for petrol!

    No pennies this morning Herewego, did relieve OH of his change though!

    I promise to go to the bank next Saturday and get those pennies paid in Rum Punch!

    I am actually going shopping with OH in Bath, am looking for a North Face fleece for my ski holiday and hoping there might be some sales on. OH is buying it for my Xmas present!

  • Oh I hope you get a lovely fleece, I forgot, it's funny how when you start confessing it's like d.... as well as holidays, I love skiing gear. You can never have too many hats, scarves, gloves, socks, thermals, jackets..... Stick to your budget!

    I must get my act together and leave for my Mum and Dad's if not it will be midnight when I get there. I'm in the debt busting zone though and I do get addicted easily.

    All have a lovely day! x
  • Thanks tumpunch and safe journey xx
