A Payment A Day - Part 9

Silaqui

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, I really enjoyed mine but I have eaten soooo much and been sent home from my mums with plates and plates of leftovers!

I am very proud of myself - went into town this morning and didn't buy anything in the sales except for a new kettle and toaster - and that was planned and paid for with Christmas money! To be honest I didn't see anything I particularly wanted, didn't rate the sales really.
I was amazed at the queue going into Next though- they were all round the block! I find their clothes really poor quality and not great value for money, anything I've ever had from there has fallen apart. And the one time I queued to look in the sale the discounts weren't all that great anyway!

£15.15 pad for me today please Paul.

See you all soon!

Thanks for the tip 30andfabulous will have a look tomorrow , though after the long story of the cat and her 'present' in November (larger than a mouse :eek::eek::eek:) which resulted in the sofa being tipped into various positions and chaos in the living room, I'm not overly confident, but hey, 2 months have passed so who knows....

I'm a nice crisp £5.00 today Paul. Papa Diz gave me some lovely pens for chrimbo, which came in a fiver shape tin! Pens now in the handbag, fiver shaped tin in my sock drawer with the stashed contents to go towards ........... who knows? Answers on a postcard please!

What about taking some of it back and buying secondhand? Not sure what you've bought but I'm sure we could help you find some bargains.

ETA: Just looked back and seen what you've bought, I'm sure you can get a pram/car seat/mattress for far less than £400! I saw a travel system including carseat for about £60 in the sales, Argos or Tesco Direct I think? Or if you want to spend more on a car seat you could do that then buy a secondhand pram on eBay. I got everything I needed for my youngest (and I had no baby stuff left) for about £200 by shopping carefully - if only I was that way with everything!!

Hi folks.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas !!

I am back in London now - had a great time back home.

I already padded for the bank holiday days, but rounded my account down and into the savings pot so £6.45 today.

I had a cheap almost NSD Xmas couple of days - so I will PAD my pub savings tomorrow (stayed in and attacked Mum's boozer stash, lol) when the accounts catch up.

Enjoy the extra day off folks.

Glad everyone had a good Christmas and hugs to any that may need them. My laptop doesn't like my dongle any more so I'm not on here as often as usual. Plus F_Fs spendy elves are still stalking me.... I treated myself to a perfume at work yesterday so no pads yet. Will get back on the wagon soon...

We are having a second look at a house soon, two of the bedrooms are really small but it's in a good location and a nice garden with no grass for us to mow! Not really sure what is best for us to do, am hoping that a sign of some sort comes to us!

Have been packing to move out of the flat and can't wait. Not looking forward to the cleaning but it'll be nice to just leave it all behind.

Mr Scotland has been in touch with me every day, and has called me when he can get enough signal. It seems his friends know all about me as they wanted to talk to me, although one of them keeps trying to tell him all cabin crew are nutjobs and cheat all the time. I think he is making his own mind up about that one though. I am picking him up from the airport on his return and I can't wait to see him! How is it possible to miss someone so much that you hardly know?! :smileyhea

£2 today please.

If you batter someone to within an inch of their life because their musical snoring has been waking you up every ten minutes since 5am that would be a reasonable justification wouldn't it? I mean, no-one would blame you if you snapped?

5.00 pad to capital one please Paul today.

Psycho - aw its starting to look like the real thing:heartsmil

Heading to see DS1 today to help him with some packing as he is moving to a new (rented) house on 10th Jan. Personally i cant wait as the present one is an old house and very difficult to heat. The landlord is a complete prat and takes ages to fix anything, probably because he thinks he is only dealing with young ones (that is until i have to ring him :mad:).

Heading to Dublin tomorrow with DS2 for one night as DH is working so will pad tomorrow for both days. I have pledged to pay off 10k in 2011:eek: (8k debt and 2k towards savings) in one of the challenges so padding will be more important than ever.

Sorry for the long post:o
