    Hi everyone

    My things for today:

    Daily scratches - 10 10
    Checked online banking - all fine
    Rang Halifax to chase up paperwork about reward account, I applied for the one Martin mentioned in the email but haven't heard anything since. Been told I need to go into the branch with two forms of ID and make a deposit! Rubbish that I haven't had anything in the post about it, looks like they're going to be as bad as Alliance and Leicester...
    Meeting a friend for lunch - got a 50% off voucher for my work's restaurant, it's lovely food and cheap to start with, she's pregnant as am I so we could both do with saving some cash!
    Try and meal plan, but it's not going too well as I can only face eating what I fancy on the day at the moment :( Stir fry tonight though, that's one meal I can always eat. Will have a look through the freezer tonight to see what else I might like.
    Transferred £2.59 from an Amazon sale into the maternity savings account - every little helps.

    I think that's everything for today :) Have good days everyone x
    My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

    Total £4151.44 | £2900.30 of £7051.74 paid off since diary started October 2024.

    Thanks for the help guys on the daily scratch thread... Feeling pretty whacked with the gastritis :P. so not much on tonight...cancelled the buy it now on ebay but if worst comes to worst they take refunds :).

    Going for 2nd hand = potentially £20 (min) saving :) :T.

    Going to sweep and mop floor outside in a mo. Done laundry. Made my houmous in my crocpot for lunch and it was seriously FAB :D. Got a whoopsie book by mistake from charity shop but it'll do as a graduation present :)

    Got the best buy on a minky ironing board cover from Mr M :). £3.99 rather than more than £4.50. so that'll be good :)...

    and that's about it..

    Blessings
