Hi MC..how was the gammon in coke. I sometimes do a Nigella Lawson one in cherry coke..brilliant cold in sandwiches afterwards but have not done it since I got a SC. Which recipe did you use?

Have a great ( hopefully sunny!) day

Hi Brizzle, the gammon went down well, just cooked in coke in slow cooker with wedges of red onion, left it cooking all day so meat fell to pieces......yum!

Visited sister to wish her happy birthday, most of the family there so had good catch up with tea & cake.

Weekend has gone by too fast, but it two days nearer to pay day i spose!!

Oooo.... good find on that Tesco deal! I'll have to check it out :T

It's been soooooooo long since I've been out for a pub meal May be we'll treat our selves when we go down to Devon on holiday next month Usually I find it hard to justify paying for 1 meal what I usually spend on my weekly shop :rotfl: I'm just tight though.

That gammon sounds gorgeous! :drool:

Paid £20 off CC, more than the minimum payment. It on 0% for 16 months so i need to clear it, but clearing the OD is the biggest hurdle.

House needs a spring clean (again!!) just need to get motivated, DD2 is at a friends party, gave her £5 for a gift. Better check the meal list to see what tonights tea is, maybe i will be a rebel and cook tomorrows choice instead.

i think i spring clean every week lol really should be doing it right now but no motivation whatsoever lol

well done on the overpayment x x x

:embarasseHave just checked my account on line, my OD is now £1,682.18 , this has partially occured because i paid the NEXT & FREEMANS by my OD as the interest was less but alot of it was unneccessary spending.

I am trying to pay £100 a month into this, going to take 17 months at that rate

Been on the phone to MINT again, they said my account is now closed, i pointed out i was owed my credit (£6 ish!!!!) they informed me that this has been sent and should take 7 to 10 DAYS!!!!! Where the hec do you reckon they are sending it from ? Wish i could charge them £12 for late payment.....

What a pain 7 - 10 days ! it must feel good though to close Mint. I cant wait to close MBNA. Still a few more months for me though.

I also got the Easter Egg deal over the weekend and have climbed up on a chair and put them at the back of the cupboard as I am renowed for eating christmas, birthday and easter chocolates that I buy as gifts for others before they get them and then have to rush to the shops last minute - def not money saving!
