Thanks everyone. He has pneumonia again and a urinary tract infection but is quite bright and should be out in a few days. I'm ill now! Throat infection and constant cough, just what I need!

Woowoo

Glad he's not too bad in himself.

Throat infection, ouch! Hope you feel better soon x

Thanks Woowoo. I just wrote a really long post about this month's spending and I got logged out and now it's lost. Really annoying, can't face doing it again.

In summary, despite debt busting, its been an expensive month!

Woowoo

Your nearly under £5k already, thats brilliant x

Ah thank you. Really want to pay off the Santander Card asap, despite the 0% interest until December. Two reasons:
1 then we don't owe anything to financial institutions
2 really worried about how incompetent Santander are

Thing is, it wouldn't be good money sense to pay off a 0% interest card when we could be earning interest (even minimal) on the amount ourselves.

We haven't budgeted for Christmas, just usually take the credit card hit when it happens, so that's the next big milestone for us and of course our skiing holiday in Feb!

Woowoo

So will you try and save for Christmas this year then?

Have you decided where you will go skiing in Feb?

Hawaii before 50 sounds really naff to me as when I visited it was very disappointing, full of Japanese and very garish.Would much rather travel to S.E. Asia

Can't save this year, still repaying different accounts, should be saving properly next year.

We haven't decided where to ski yet, we've talked about it a bit but not sure yet.

ps aren't some people nice!
