Lemon Tree - well done on paying your loan off early. I can't wait to pay off cc and littlewoods and then throw all remaining money at my loan!
Triange - the disco sounds fun!! I hope you get to go!

Well had a DFW dinner last night! Came back form swimming so late i didnt have time for dinner beofre my Mum picked me up for skittles! Then at skittles they brought out sausages and chips (not great for the diet though) so i had a free dinner! Came home knowing my meal plan will stretch another meal!! :-)

Not such good news! DF is definitely dropping a day a week at work :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: £200 a month drop in wage!!! Goig to be a struggle...especially annoying as we have been doing soooo well to pay off things lately!

Better start being extra thrifty!
