Random question: What happens to all the emery boards? Do they go off to lost sock land?A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

_party__party__party_ Happy New Tax Year everyone _party__party__party_£600 to ISA:
- to get the ball running
- to stop me stressing over whether to stick with current one or wait for a new one - decision made now

. Have paid ccard off with what we spent on hols to avoid interest.Mr GG contributed a chunk so I will need to do the same, meaning April's OP's will be lower :eek:. Hopefully though will pick up the slack over next few months.
Monthly savings for Xmas, hols etc also not good. Managed to end year on nearly £600 deficit
. Largely because I spent quite freely at first as I had a budget for things so I was allowed to spend :rotfl:. Have upped monthly payment by £50 to clear it by end of next year and will just have to stick to what is there. Haven't quite worked out how I'm going to pay car bill of nearly £600 from a minus position :cool:.
Message from old bank to say DD's requested from new one - so this is the scary time :eek:. The transfer process is highly rated so let's see. Decided to leave MS money going into old bank. also the CCard I use mainly for MS purchases as will be easier to know how much is available to spend in main bank that way.
Mystery shop at Mr A today, including cafe. Nice little earner :T.
Off for another cuppa. Slight technical hitch on the alarm this morning - set it last night, both asleep when it went off, both got up. 15 mins later I discovered I hadn't changed time so we were up at 5.45 instead of 6.45
. Luckily Mr GG saw the funny side :rotfl:. Will be flagging later (well actually I am now :cool:).
Happy Saturday everyone
