Uh man, what a hit. I had to get rid of my car a couple of years ago when the insurance went up about the same time as it failed its MOT. Glad I did it though in the end. I took the money I paid for insurance and spent that on hire cars over the year whenever I needed one. I guess if you need it for work/every day then it's a different story.

Oh no DMS, I hope the run does you good and helps you feel a bit better x

I have been told today that my 2nd job will be axed from Oct, so il be £ 250 down each month, so tonight we are going to sit and work out our plan of action as we are already saving for when I go on maternity leave in July

Apart from that, today has been quite successful, I have

* Kept UTD with the thread, although annoyingly I cant post from work

* Took HM lunch today and only brought jiffy bags and batteries for ebay, using ebay profit from last sale

* Read news papers online

* Picked up free bounty bag from boots using voucher and got lots of freebies inside!

* Checked online banking, all good

Have a good night everyone x

I do unfortunately. I did toy with not having it but I live about 2 1/2 miles from the train station & about 3 miles from the station the other end to my place of work. I also am an essential car user so I need to get to different places as I manage teams in different buildings.

It is lucky I paid off my debt in Oct and that I have managed to save £1300 so I am not getting into any debt, but its really disappointing that all the scrimping & saving I have done over the last couple of months was for this.

Its ok going to go for a run and then try again - I am positive and I am not going to let all the knocks drag me down - I surely must have exhausted all the carpy stuff life has to throw at me by now - the universe is testing how strong my resolve to give up smoking is!:rotfl:

thanks La E :A

Today I have

- Checked online banking all is goods
- Worried about the CC as we have bought new furniture for new house, but I think this is in bulit after debt, we have been saving for 5 years to buy this house and have more than enough savings to buy and pay off the CC, so I am being silly really. I can only do 4 transactions a year from savings so need to make sure everything is sorted and do one payment to clear - On the MSE side I get JL vouchers so will get something back.

- Come home from work early as I have a steaming cold, hope to go in tomorrow before too much bulids up.
- Took lunch to work
- Store cupboard meals this evening.

mmmm...... someone not too far away said I'd never be able to just visit at the weekends (...you know who you are...) and I'd just like to say "it's all your fault"!!!!

Have just discovered the Forum's going to be down on Saturday - what am I going to do to stop myself spending money!!!!:eek: I'll have to do that Uni work.

Anyway, today....

NSD!!!!!!!! (about time)
Made curry with left over chicken
Checked bank accounts
Made file for this years' statements/bills
Walked dog several times
Worked hard at work (honest)
About to have a soak in the bath with some Christmas "smellies"

Haircut tomorrow (not done since last March so really needs it) and looking forward to a bit of pampering.

Have a good evening everyone.:)

Hello :wave:

Sorry to hear that you are having such a rubbish time Determined. Hope things pick up for you soon.

Erme - take care of yourself

Today:

Dealt with animals

Checked online banking - still no sign of missing cheques paid in before Christmas (this is getting boring now :mad: ) OK apart from that.

Put chicken and a jar of cook in sauce which I was given (never buy the stuff myself) with some leeks and mushrooms in the slow cooker before work - meal ready when we got in, and it tasted ok. Also got the jar of sauce used up and out of the cupboard :T

Read news online and in free paper on train to work

LSD - relatively speaking, just the station car park :eek: and a coffee in the canteen with some new junior staff I was giving an introductory talk to.

Not MSE for me, but for work, I asked PA to have another look at flights to the US, as the one she had picked out for me when I fly out at the beginning of Feb was nearly £1k return :eek: and that was economy class. She managed to find one for £400 with Virgin airlines. I can't imagine they would be any worse than the foreign one I hadn't heard of that cost more than twice as much!

Walked round town at lunchtime and didn't spend anything :T

Did a survey for pinecone which had appeared in my inbox

Off to tidy up now, as I want to watch Hugh FW's new series at 9!
