Another NSD in Fresian Towers *faints* I think it's because I'm too skint to buy anything I did have a look on Ebay earlier, but have managed to resist. At the moment I'm going to be over on my budget for the month due to the need to buy another iPod, but I'm going to pull this back in next month when I (hopefully) sell my blu-ray player.
I got an email from Quidco today telling me that my money for this month has been paid - a whole £2.78 but I suppose it's all pennies in the pot. In slightly better news, my Quidco for changing energy suppliers has been validated so if that pays out then it's a whole £75 for me I'll lose £5 of that to the membership fee for Quidco, but I like them as a site so I'm fine with that.
Nothing else to report really. I'm off to Englandshire again for work on Tuesday, but all the spends I make there will have to be on my credit card and coverable by expenses as I'm sailing close to the budgetary wind!
Floozie - did you decide if you were about on Tuesday night?
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend - I'm off to finish my wine and get some sleep. Night all!

Hi Fresian!
I lost you there for a bit - your thread vanished from my subscribed list, and I've only just managed to find it. I was getting worried!
Glad to see you are doing OK and that you will be visiting Englandshire again soon.
Hope your wine was scrummy.

It was very nice! I needed red wine (yuck) for sauce the other week and it was £2.49 for one of those wee bottles or 4 for £5, well it would have been rude not to stock upHope your wine was scrummy. I got three wee bottles of white wine and that's the first time I've really fancied having one and it was lush!
In MSE news, the mortgage calculator tells me that if I overpay my mortgage by a mere £50 per month I will be mortgage-free four years early :eek: If I can magic up £150 then it will be repaid before I'm 40. Food for thought there!
I don't think that I'm going to always have £150 per month "spare" but it would be good to start putting token amounts into the mortgage to get in the habit. After all, base rate isn't always going to be 0.5% (and as I work for a Big Bad Bank my mortgage is on base rate) and it would be good to get some mortgage repaid before things get costlier.
Best get to work anyway - without pesky work I have no wages to play with for such fripparies!

Same thing happened here, was sure I had subscribed but then it disappeared!
Well done on the cheque F_F, those holiday destinations sounded fab.0 -
*Subscribed* Happy new debt free diary!
Just thought I'd let you all know my Itunes was hacked last week and it had my bank card stored on it. They tried 18 x £10 identical transactions one after the other (poss got past verified by visa too) they got 11 before the bank fraud team stopped my card.
Please please, if you have your card details stored on your itunes, log into your account and change it to "none". They got through my email and password :eek:0 -
Thanks for the warning pippajo, I've removed that now. I normally use Amazon for downloads anyway as they're cheaper :money:0
