    Hi again everyone :wave:

    Transferred our final £1850 of cc debt to 0% for 9 months! :D OH is going to set up a standing order for £200pcm and I'll clear the min payment on top of that, which will mean it'll be clear in around 8 or 9 months without any struggle. If OH gets a permanent job and we can feed a bit more into it then it'll be cleared off sooner but no pressure because no interest. Yippee. Really feels like the final stretch. :) (Well, after that we have the NR 'together' mortgage loan to think about and OH's loan, but one thing at a time…)

    Other small things:
    • Borrow the car for a trip to Ik3a - hopefully not spend too much - bits and bobs to help us organise the flat a bit better - storage trunk is £10.49 and would've cost £22 to get delivered so technically have an extra £11.51 to spend, right? :p
    • HM lunch
    • Renewed library books online
    • Used vouchers to buy myself new work shoes
    • Free coffee
    • Free cup-a-soup type thing from the machine at work - not as bad as I thought it'd be :cool:
    • SC chicken on low. nom nom nom.
    Happy Birthday Perni!

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Im very late on today! Happy birthday pernie, hope you feel better DNMS and I love the avi, stitchy

    Work drama continues - I pulled in the senior gun in and she called up to HR to tell them that it really wasn't ok and hoepfully that will scare them into line. Hopefully having a meeting this afternoon to sort things - Im really appreciating all your support on here!

    Anyway, today:
    • walked in to work
    • ate lunch from home (jacket spud with chili)
    • bought fruit at stand on the way in to avoid buying during the week
    • Went to Santander to work out if I could get an account giving me free withdrawals overseas- nope, you need to do all sorts of rediculous things to qualify! Like having £10k in one of their shoddy savings accounts for 3 months... jeez, where do I sign up?:mad:
    • Volluntary work - filling in form so they can accept a grant
    • Called gym to find out what I need to send them so I can cancel - they want to charge me but I wont let them as I have it in writing from the manager that they wouldnt
    • followed up on referal for a friend
    • gym after work
    • dinner from stores and meal plan
    • crochet in eve, maybe some TV on iplayer
    Have I mentioned that I love you guys? you always brighten my day!:T:T

    Happy birthday Perni
    And compliments, so glad you are feeling brighter, I've suffered at the hands of a job that sucked all the good out of my day and ended up off sick with depression as well, you sound like you have so much to offer.

    I've got to try and fit 4 days work into the next 2 as I'm off on my hols (well, moving house!) from thursday so this is a bit of a flying visit!

    Today I have/will:
    -walked in
    -will walk home
    -posted some ebay parcels
    -bought my bus season ticket ready for the start of the new month (this is paid monthly through work who gave me a check for the full amount so I don't have to fork out all in one go.)
    -making coffee rather than buying
    -more packing tonight
    -searches through swagbucks
    -need to set my target for NSD's next month

    Can't think of anything else, my head is just full of housey stuff!
    Have a great afternoon all
    B xxx
