    No payment today :( And didn't do any eBay listings last night :o

    Going to sort some clothes over the weekend and try one of these places that pays per kilo. Have heard they also take bric-a-brac type stuff too, so will investigate.

    Other than that, aiming for a cheap weekend. Going to my friends tonight and I already have some drinks in that I can take. Saturday I will be working, then Sunday morning my brother's paying me to mow his lawn and then off to a BBQ at OH's parents.

    What's everyone else's plans?

    Hi DF :)

    Ooo riding, haven't ridden since Africa and so miss it, it's just so expensive round here :( Glad you enjoyed it, I am very jealous :D

    Weekend was good till Sunday night - went to my friend's Friday night, to the pub Saturday night and then a BBQ at OH's parents on Sunday which was lovely but then all night I was so ill. I was off sick yesterday as I hadn't had any sleep. Feeling better today so guess I must have eaten something that wasn't quite right.

    My brother asked for an extra payment of the money I owed him if I could manage it as he's off to Reading Festival so I took £200 out of the money I've saved and gave that to him. Plus he knocked £10 off the total as I mowed his lawn for him on Sunday morning so £210 paid off in total.

    Taking me to sub 3K :j:j

    Woohoo! You'll be there before you know it.

    Glad you're feeling better today - and on the plus side only 4 working days until the BH weekend!

    Aw I think that's great that you're taking a day off to be together! I love a day off for no reason.

    I am beside myself with excitement. Paid off the last bank loan yesterday so only £ to family left - had Champagne to celebrate!

    Still have no idea what to do to celebrate properly though!

    I'm sure you'll think of something MrsB - when you've finished jumping up and down long enough to think :D

    £53 to my Mum today :) Not sure if I'll manage too much more this month but just wanted to get it to 90% paid off :j

    hi Becs (and MrsB!)

    You re both doing fantastically and I am jumping up and down in joy for you both - it's so nice to see people at or nearing the finish line.

    Lovely day off yesterday - really needed that :D

    £15 to my brother today :)

    No real plans for the weekend. Working Saturday and Monday at the pub. Other than probably just trying to get some things ticked off my to-do list.

    Struggled to get up this morning after 3 days off!

    Weekend was good, got quite a bit done even though I ended up going out Friday and Saturday night when I wasn't expecting to.

    Out tonight as well as one of my friends is moving to India next week. So we're off out for a chinese. Sort out my free holiday too :D

    OH and I went to test drive a new car on Monday before I went to work. His old car failed it's MOT on Thursday and was going to cost a minimum of £800 to fix :eek: and the guy kindly suggested the scrapyard was the best place for it. So happy someone else other than me was finally telling him that! So, he is going to lease one. I am going to pay £50 a month towards it as I will use it evenings and weekends. Happy I will finally have use of a car :)

    I am also now defnitely off to Africa so good news all round at the moment :D

    Oh, and £20 to my Mum :)
