Waiting for my bonus at the end Jan hun- not expecting much this year as I've been on mat leave but I should be able to put a few hundred into my BF account. I've found my list so I'll be sending it to you for your comments!

Of course! Here's the thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=609037&highlight=daily+clicks+eagerlearner

and then you'll need to send a PM to EL for your copy of the programme. Well worth doing in my opinion

Waaaaaah! I am a muppet. I paid off my first direct CC this month and was SOOO happy. I got my statement through today and it appears that I'd forgotten to factor in a £4 transaction on my CC which hadn't yet appeared online when I paid it off. So they've charged me interest of £60.02 :eek: What a waste! If I wanted to waste 60 quid I'd have bought a pair of shoes or a box of nice wine, not given it to blummin' first direct :sad:

I have to go shopping today for a suit. I really, really don't want to spend the money but I've been asked to do a presentation to a potential client next week and my old wardrobe is all too small for me still and the few bits I have are not smart enough. Damn, not happy. The only consolation I have is that I should be getting a bonus at the end of January so if I use my CC to buy the suit then pay it off with the bonus then that won't count as debt will it.

Think of it as an investment Mrs Sparkle - by the way, how did you do with your mini challenges, did you manage to go for a run x3? - I m starting a healthier eating/exercise regime from tomorrow, I have a treadmill in my bedroom, but its still really hard to get out of bed and get on it!

No I have been rubbish this week and have only run once. I really, really need to shift some of this lard- it'll be like having a brand new wardrobe being able to fit into my size 12 suits again

Know the feeling, I find it hard enough to get out of bed as it is...
