    Morning F_F! Was up in lovely Edinburgh at the weekend, unfortunately was working so ony had a quick drive through the city, but we have decided to head bck up in the Autumn school hols for a few more days to see the city properly and then also head a bit further up as DS wants to see Loch Ness!

    Havent looked at logisics yet, but the only think I kept saying apart from how beautiful the area is and how nice and friendly the peeps are was that the air feels "soft" compares to down south - IYSWIM:D

    It was an internet promotion and they emailed the vouchers to me. Just said it had to be used in 3 months and that the table had to be booked in advance. It was really easy to do!

    Spends for today: £0.45 on crisps

    I also spent £21.33 in Aldi and £7.18 in Asda for groceries for a friend who is really skint at the moment. I'm taking this from my debt pot and will be refusing any offer of payment from her. She needs this wee bit of cash more than me.

    Payday in two days, thank all the gods.

    Outstanding Loan = £3,318.74
    Savings = £1,338.26
    Actual debt = £1,980.48

    That was my situation last month, this month it stands at:

    Outstanding Loan = £3,219.53
    Savings = £1,410.75
    Actual debt = £1,808.78

    A reduction at least, but only £180. Must try harder this month!

    Still, Mr Fresian is going Up North next week for a few days work, and he's taking an old keyboard and the portable DVD player I won to sell to some people we know, sothat should be £50-£70 in my pocket :D

    The M&S Sale starts today though and I really need some new undies. I will try and be strong :A

    Payday! yahoo.gifyahoo.gifyahoo.gif

    Accounts are currently sitting thusly:

    PAD/Spends = £200
    Entertainment = £53.40 (£3.40 left from last month, increased budget due to Edinburgh Fringe and two planned additional nights out)
    Groceries = £170

    Start of my month debt position:

    Loan = £3,219.53
    Savings = £1,447.75
    Outstanding debt = £1,771.78

    There 145 days until my birthday and I need to make £12.22 in payments towards my debt every day based on this.

    I got an email about a free listing day on Ebay this weekend so am going to start selling some stuff again. The joy of free listing is that you can whack any old tat online and see it it will sell :D

    Right, Facebook and comps call :rotfl:
