    I’m a bit like you Abba I have money on my next account and I have an amazon card then my main credit card. I’m desperate to get my next account cleared though. It was pretty much at a £1000. I’m doing the 1% challenge for that to help me. You are just so good with your money Abba it’s great to see. I love reading your diary xx

    That's an amazing amount in Avon orders abba. You deserve every penny of that commission.

    I hope poor DS is feeling better now and you get some sleep tonight.

    Yesterday was a spendy day, sent my deposit for our Florida park tickets........bye bye £150 but I've had that money set by for months ;)
