Morning, morning.
I was supposed to get up at 5am to go to work this morning. I opened my eyes, looked over at the clock, 7:55. Looks like I need a new alarm clock
9 years isn't bad for a clock to last, but it's had its day. I have to go Spend Money now. £2.50 at Argos, perhaps... :rotfl:Debts (26.3% remaining) - CC/BARC: [strike]2058[/strike] 100.00 @0%; CC/MBNA: [strike]1877.75[/strike] 0.00; Loan/SLC: [strike]10000[/strike] 7901.84 @1.5%; Loan/Per: [strike]1500[/strike] 0.00; Loan/HX: [strike]15000[/strike] 0.00

Lol! I am not a Kiwi in the sense of a person from NZ, more in the sense of a small brown fuzzy fruit with a green inside.
I just had a proper sad moment...hmmmmm

I did wonder who the person who seems to like me so much was. *nibbles gingerbread*
Right, better see if I can soak the mess off the car before my viewing. What a glamorous life I lead. *rolls eyes*

hey bun i really think you need to go and see a doctor if you are green inside as that doesnt sound healthy :rotfl:
and a razor might help with the fuzzyness
want to share the sad moment?
i know i just hate it when these things happen it gets to a point where i feel i am properly getting on top of things all my little pots of budgetted money where looking healthy and then wham everything starts going wrong and suddenly i am back at square one with no spare money knowing that if one more thing dies i might have to turn to either my brother for a loan or a credit card
as i need car to get to work since its 30 miles away each way and need the boiler since its a combi so we have gas central heating hot water from the same source and use a mixer tap for the shower so dont even have a electric shower so i could at least wash...
although at least my wife is honest, she has admitted that its a bloody good thing she no longer has a credit card as she is in a f-it mood at the moment and if she had access to any money she would just go and spend itDrop 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)0 -
That's a bit of a breakthrough Gonzo - for her to realise her spending was mood related is a step in the right direction;)26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073
