Ah but selling the one that I won meant I was debt-free all the quickerHow annoying about your i-pod too, shame a nice honest person didn't find it, very annoying, especially when you sold your winning one on to my OH last year!
It didn't have the storage I need anyway!
I've ordered a new iPod skin for the new one (click here for pretty) and should get that by the weekend Got £5 off with a voucher redeemed from Bingoport too

Money
PAD/Spends - £30
Entertainment - £44.70
Groceries - £20.29
ISA - £370.20
Credit card:
Current balance - £201.02
Payment today - £111.02

That will be repaid on payday when I have my bills money and can use the "Woo, no council tax this month" money. Chuffed with this as it has meant I have bought my ipod without touching my savings :j

Morning folks,
Money is pretty much the same as yesterday although I did take out a tenner from the Spends account in case I needed milk but Mr Fresian bought it giving me a nice NSD
In other awesome news, I'm finally going to be selling the bluray player I won last year to a friend from work, assuming he gets his quarterly bonus next month. He's also about to buy a massive telly and is giving us his "old" one to make up the difference in price between the blu-ray player RRP and what he's giving me for it. He's happy to pay the £200 I want for it (It's worth a lot more) which will make my iPod purchase cash neutral and keep me on track for the frugal challenge
Best dash, I need to quickly finish a birthday card I started making last night then cook some pasta for lunch. I'm hoping to borrow a stamp from someone at work and then I won't have a spend day today either! Tonight I'm hoping to go to the movies with a friend which should be good fun. Not sure what we're seeing though as we've tried to see King's Speech twice this week and it's been sold out both times!
Have a good day all - Friday tomorrow
