    Sorry I've not been on just been mega busy :D

    Had a busy weekend, driving to Glasgow stone gets flung up by speeding driver and cracked my windscreen of my car :mad: I've checked online and it's £75 excess for my car windscreen to get replaced :mad: will need to wait for the weekend to get done :mad: oh well these things happen

    Started work at 7.30am totally forgot to iron boys uniform :eek: so had to get that done whilst mindee ate his breakfast in his high chair ;)

    Sent £5.37 towards the barclaycard :T need to watch the pennies as mortgage and loan are due out next Monday but it's coming down slowly and I'm on target to get it under the £4K bracket for the end of the month

    Went to playgroup 27 kids attended :T it's defo getting busier glad to be home tho kids are eating lunch then we are off to do the nursery run.........hoping mindee sleeps after we get back as I want to get an ironing pile out of the way ;)

    Got a committee meeting tonight at 6.30pm hoping it doesn't run too long need to make sure my dinner is on before mindees go home as I don't offically finish til 6pm but there is nothing stopping me putting the stuff in the oven so it's ready for me finishing :cool:

    Abbies first day at college and she got her letter through confirming she's getting her EMA again as well as transport costs :T:T:T thank goodness means I only need to give her lunch money :T and she can rebegin paying me back for her phone :T more pennies for the barclaycard as I've already paid the phone off my credit card

    I might have inadvertently paid off the balance I had on my Halifax it was about £500 but I cleared it with the holiday money as the payments are coming out of my credit card but I have the money in my account to clear it ........does that make sense, well hubby sold a wheel balancer we got from his old garage and gave the money to me so Ive cleared the balance on the credit card but I'm not counting it yet as I still have another instalment at the end of February so if I don't get the full amount in my saving by then I won't feel so bad if I don't have a nil balance on the Halifax........but wouldn't it be great if I could keep the zero balance and manage to find the next instalment by end of Feb???? So I offically won't count paying off the £515 until end of Feb as I want to see if I can save up the money......I'm waffling :rotfl:

    Only spent £2 today and hoping that will be it so a lsd today :T
    NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12
    POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78
    POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14
    POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.05
