hi everyone
better late than never. Hope you get better soon Yargo. Whoo hoo on cheques Snoop.
Today has not been a productive day for me regarding my debt busting list :
- still chasing payment of an ebay item
- tried to transfer a balance from my high ccard to lower ccard and guy said no deals available?
- bought a packet of £1 wine gums (although charity sweets so going to a good cause)
- checked my online banking and salary is in a day early :T
- have posted a parcel to Magpie and realised too late I have printed off wrong bloomin packing slip
- have transferred £15 from paypal to bank to pay into ccard.
oh well better day tomorrow hopefully. Hugs for everyone

Hi everyone :wave:
Crikey it's a bitterly cold day. Brrr.
Managing a few wee bits and bobs:
1. Brekkie at home
2. Quickly nabbed some cous cous with veg to have for lunch
3. Leaving OH in charge of dinner tonight - quick one as we're both out - pasta we think
4. Post pressie to pal - saw it on grabbit board from someone mentioning it on this thread - can't remember who though but thanks - Highland Aromatics set
5. Post pressie to other pal - vouchers I got with discount through work
6. Post office after work not at lunchtime - a lot quieter then and you know what they say Time = Money
7. Yoga tonight to keep me on the straight and narrow
8. Take refillable water bottle
9. Rejigged budget methinks…
10. Maybe take a look on latestinbeauty.com for this month's trial products
11. Walking everywhere
12. Used freebie moisturiser

Evening everyone!
Moneypenny – what a busy day! (Thanks for starting us off). Hope the talk goes OK.
Stitchy – I do have a wee chuckle whenever you use OH car!
Candy – hope you got off the train ok!
Pernicious – hope the venue was promising.
Snoop – congratulations on your 5 years & your rebate/win, that’s great! (must start doing these things again, I used to but never won so gave up thinking no-one ever did).
Bestrong – couldn’t agree more, this site is made by the people on it willing to share their experiences and tips, it’s fantastic and such a pick-me-up if I’m a bit down.
Nejlloyd – no wonder you’re excited about seeing your OH, have a fabby time off.
Milly - hope you got the PM (managed to get on from work at lunchtime which I can't usually so not sure if it'll have sent - let me know if not)
Hope everyone who's under the weather is feeling a bit better.
Tasks for this evening....
Load of washing (to avoid running out of airing space @ weekend)
