Hi Abba

I was wondering where you had got to, poor brother splitting up with his girlfriend at least he has you to watch out for him.

£68 is pretty good going considering that you hadn't shopped for a while, I tried to do that this week but still ended up spending £58

Hope the suns shining up in Bonny Scotland x

Well HSD day today, went to the swimming with the kids so £8 for that then went to see a lady about 2 guinea pigs as the kids decided they wanted another pet, the lady is preggers and needs the space so for two guinea pigs, a massive cage, hay, sawdust, bowls, water bottle, and some food she gave them to us for £55......................would have cost me a whole lot more at the pet shop lol

going for a walk tomorrow to get some food in for them a couple of toys so going to wilkinsons as they have some cheap stuff in lol

Some days it seems that its all pay out and nothing else but you have some new additions to your family and will be a good excuse to get the kids out in the park collecting dandelions/dock leaves etc for them. Plus they will bring the kids endless amounts of fun.

DD deserves some special time expecially with how your Ex has treated her over these past few weeks etc. Plus it will be good for you both to spend alone time together and if she feels the need to discuss it with you then at least you can reassure her and she will appreciate the time that you have spent with her....

Good luck with the ebay stuff...:) my pile is amassing for my divorce fund...slowly but surely....:rotfl:

Car payment came out today so off to update my tciker.....had to go to petshop for a potty for the guinea pigs lol whatever next lol

abba1772

well thats another £32.95 paid off the BOS CC can't wait to see the back of then tbh so far this years i've paid off £2570.43 in 4 months which i find astonishing ..........just think what that money could have went on.....a holiday, new clothes, getting my eyes lasered (sick of wearing glasses)

no more payment towards debt now for this month, i've somehow went into my overdraft but it's money day on sunday so hopefully i don't need anything as i'm working today tomorrow and Saturday so hopefully all i need is fuel and i will claw it back next month will have to be extra frugal as i need to put aside some money for our wee holiday in July

Got 9 items on ebay only one selling so far and i'm still waiting on one person to pay from last week hope fully some do sell as only relisted the ones that didn't sell from last week. Also sold £20 of clothes on facebook just waiting on there postal order to come thro and may have potenially made £8 on preloved for selling voiles i've had under my bed for ages (no need for them) so fingers crossed they pay lol

anyway the sun is shining i have a washing out need to do an ironing and tidy up all whilst hobbling about as i've !!!!!!ed the tendons in my foot lol oh the joys

hope everyone is ok x x x

Hi Abba

I was wondering where you had got to, thats an impressive amount that you've paid off so far. It does get addictive paying it off but also a big eye opener as to what we could all actually be doing with the money instead of just throwing it into a big, blackhole every month, but we'll all get there and be able to enjoy spending/saving.

I wear glasses as well but I'm really squeamish when it comes to eyes and don't think that I could go for laser surgery.

Hope your foots ok - what did you do? xx

i got out of bed on tuesday morning, felt a ping then couldn't put pressure on my foot.......wish i could say it was doing something adventurous but sadly not true lol
