    well done pepe :D

    i havent looked at my debt free date since my darling wife always screws up the plans by going on spending trips, so i am well jelous

    Try giving her an account book for the whole of the household income and sit down together to complete it each month....maybe if she sees it all in black,white and red she may appreciate the situation?

    I do a spreadsheet, of sorts, with known monthly expenses set against predicted income....then amended up or down when I know my pay.

    Getting her involved is the difficult thing. If she's got her head in the sand, that means hers bums in the air.....needs a kick?
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Afternoon.

    Great news Pooky, it'll make life so much easier and more comfortable for you.

    Spud, hope they find the keys.

    Well done Pepe.

    BB good to see you back again.

    Well, my appointment with the immunologist went well. He had been planning on starting treatment but I've been ok for the last couple of months, so I've got a reprieve. Of course, if I start getting loads of infections then I'll probably ask to start on it, but hopefully I can get through the summer first. Although he says I'm still a diagnostic puzzle! And I managed to get away without having to have blood tests, I think it's the first time ever!

    Sister cancelled shopping trip though.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    have tried all this just goes around in circles, but the bonus at the moment is becuase she is a SAHM she cant get any more credit, she has said today she is going to cancel her remaining cataloge so that just leaves her credit card and overdraft which are both currently maxed out anyway so i am getting her closer to having no credit availible,

    next on the list might be to take her credit card balance in my name cut up the card and cancel the account, meaning the ONLY credit she could get (having no income) is her overdraft, but this is a while away yet and much thought required
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
