    Anyway, a Friday pad of £5.00 from me please Sashy! How are you finding the counting? Is it as scary as you thought?

    The counting is actually fine, just need to be organised! It is a bigger job than I realised though! :o
    Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.
  • Oh no had friend round & forgot my pad for 1st time :doh:I'm so easily distracted :oSo sorry sashy pad for yesterday £1.16 and pad today is £1.17 :D

    If you hadn't saved the money for the credit card you would have had to use credit to pay for your trip to Abroadshire though, so it's building you up an emergency fund as well.

    My Debt Free Pot is also my emergency/holiday/fun pot.....better that than battering the Mastercard!

    I know you're right but I was reall looking forward to paying off the cc...oh well, maybe next year!! :rotfl:

    Glad they are both doing well!

    Thanks Flower, he'll eat anything! He likes chocolate but I don't think it agrees with him!!
    Thats really good, its lovely to see them getting about, but it aslo means they are not babies anymore :(

    Fraser is struggling a little, still cant do alot for himself, struggling with his language and is the fussiest eater ever. I swear that I wouldnt have half the debt I do if I didnt have to buy all the food he likes - Baby ricecakes at £1.10 a bag and lots of strawberries. But he is the most adorable little man, all curls and cheeks :)

    I'm the same with my DD. We only spend between £40-£60 a month on food for ourselves and about £90 for DD :o:o:o...pork pies aren't cheap :p Could you maybe try to trick him into eating cheaper rice cakes? I tried to trick DD into eating something that I told her was somthing else but she seen straight through me :rotfl:

    Have you tried sign language? The doc told me it was supposed to be good for developing speech.

    Fraser will get there, he just needs some extra time...But if he's all curls and cheeks, what more do you need?! :D
