Hello everyone!

Quick update, just received a letter from Halifax stating i will be receiving a £50 cheque in the post in the next several days due to the complaint i made:j. So an extra £50 towards the deposit once i get it

I have also managed to get another £2 coin, added to sig already.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I unfortunately have to go work this afternoon and feeling too lazy to go to the gym before i start (can not wait for the next 2 days off)


Bye for now...

I went to my friends birthday do on Thursday, must say I had a lot of fun until my ex walked in:eek: (talk about awkward). I must say I was very lucky, as I completely forgot it was even her birthday this week (I am such a bad friend). But very lucky that I buy pressies during sales and put them in a box for me to have on hand for emergencies.
Just got my cheque today in the post for the £50, I was very happy to see it too.
So this would make my deposit to be £31,173 +£117 = £31,290 (Sig will be updated):beer:
I hope you all have a lovely weekend

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are okay...

I have been very busy with work and going out way too much in the past week :eek: I have already spent my general spend money for this month, I need to look at this for next month. Currently eating into my surplus in my c/a.

I have received a statement regarding my ISA S&S and for once, i was very happy to see it, as it is now back in the black :j. I love the fact i keep forgetting i even have one( It is going towards the old age fund:rotfl:)

I have been wondering if i should start purchasing more Premium Bonds, just would like to get some for my birthday as i already have some (how sad is that:rotfl:)

I have added another £2 coin, sig already updated

Bye for now...

Hi Sylvia!

You're doing fantastic! I wouldn't worry about spending on going out, you have to enjoy yourself sometimes I have often thought myself: What's the point saving all your life by scraping by, you just end up dying rich and not having had a fun life! :eek:

Glad to hear that your S&S ISA is doing well! I am too risk adverse to get one of those!

Premium bonds? Why? I think you are better off putting that money into savings accounts as at least you'll be guaranteed a return! How well have your current premium bonds yielded?

I'm still waiting for my first payday in the new job, which should come this Friday, it's taking forever lol! :cool:

Ohh wow I am defnitely following this thread - just stumbled on it.

I have savings in Premium Bonds - £25k and I have found it to be the best of all the "no risk" places I have used.

savingmummy

Just wanted to say a big well done!
You should be SO proud of yourself!!!

Just like spending - saving can be addictive. But often you have to break the spending habit to realise the saving habit is much better!

that is the problem about saving being addictive. I saved up for a new car but am not inclined to buy one lol
