How's you? Congrats on the debt free life!!!! You worked hard to clear it so big respect to you.
I shall be back to [STRIKE]stalking[/STRIKE] following my usual diaries!
I'm doing good thanksBeing debt-free was nice for a wee while, but I'm having to work at staying that way
It's so tempting to put things on the credit card until next month - I'm trying to be good. Thankfully I'm mainly succeeding!
Becoming debt-free coincided with an opportunity at work for good career development but at a lower monthly pay. Had I not paid off my loan I couldn't have afforded to do it, so I'm as skint as ever as I'm on less money :rotfl: Thankfully there are a lot of overtime opportunities too, and we now get time and a half for anything extra we work which is awesomeFebruary's wage will be the first one at the lower salary though which is going to be a shock!
I'm looking forward to seeing you back stalking (and commenting I hope!) Congrats on the birth of the Gosling :j

Morning folks
I was planning a NSD today until the Newspaper thread told me there are free Doctor Who audiobooks in the Guardian today, whirrooooo!! Easy enough to stick them on the PC and then add to the Ebay pile
Off to work in half an hour. Not down to work today but got little done this week so am going in to catch up. Time and a half sweetens the dealBefore I go I need to hang up the washing, stick dinner in the slow cooker and eat breakfast. Once I'm finished on MSE of course
I get paid on Wednesday and have the following amounts left:
PAD - £15
Entertainment - £18.20
Groceries - £15.17
ISA - £877.62
All money is being PADded to the account I have to repay my credit card, as we have to get the road tax this month (Bah!) and the insurance next month (double bah!) The ISA balance won't move upwards for a while I think. I did manage to pay over £60 into my VSP yesterday though as I had miscalculated the amount I needed for bills this month so had lots of extra money. Woo!
I will have to send off a £30 cheque soon. FB friends will know that I recently dropped my very expensive phone in a puddle :eek: It now switches itself off randomly and never knows how much battery is left. I made a claim yesterday on my current account insurance and they will take it by post and either refurbish it or replace it if it's truly knackered. I was really impressed by the service :T A £30 excess is better than having to pay *cough£360cough* to replace it
Right, time to make dinner and throw some toast down my neck. Have a good day all!

Ouch to the phoneness: there's a reason why I don't have an expensive one (Once, the first weekend after I'd just got a brand spanker on contract it fell down the toilet at a wedding)!
Happy time-and-a-half as well! xPlease call me 'Pickle'
No More Buying Books: ???
No More Buying DVDs: ???
NMB Toiletries ??? and I've gone back for my Masters at the University of Use Ups!
Proud to be dealing with her debts 1198~
