Muffinman~Sorry about your DS.
Do you mean that you would be finished paying the debts in Oct?

beanielou thannks we will be back to dentist on monday enough is enough!!:mad: regarding debts i wish:( the direct debit i havent cancelled yet is for five year cover on washing machine that was replaced in november after 12 years not bad it works out £5 a week so should be ok with it the debt adviser says my debt are just under £8,000 but she reckons it will be a bit higher by the time i save up the £90 and she hasn't included the arrears on the gas or electric yet as the electric is now on a key meter (we ran out of leccy 1st time yesterday was sitting in darkish room for about 2hours just a candle and wind up lantern not too bad considering i don't like the dark kids thought i was tricking them i wish)and we pay £4 a week off arears its coming down slowly gas is on a payment plan £10 a week including arears but not sure if its half and half.

didnt achieve day 4 yesterday due to having a well earned night out with friend. Spent £9 at bingo, £5 on food (mostly junk though, I have to confess) and £1.40 on bus fares.

Today however (DING DING DING) Day No 4!

A couple of expensive days

Yesterday was market day, so stocked up on fruit and veg. Also had a dental check-up- NHS, but still £17.

Today was expensive but lovely. We had a lovely lunch out (mostly paid by T***co clubcard vouchers ) then I took DD shopping whilst DH and DS went to see a show. They should have seen the show with us in January but DS was ill so they couldn't go.
Bought DD lots of clothes in P**mark, also a few bits for DS and DH. Socks for me!!

Nice to come home and be able to crash in front of the telly instead of cooking dinner

Hoping for a NSD tomorrow, and probably Monday with a bit of luck!

Hello MSE Crew,
You folks are an industrious lot nabbing your NSD's within a WEEK and the FIRST WEEK of May!!! I hope to nab one today and post it tonight. Just waiting for the clock to strike midnight before Cinderella collects her very first NSD.

Flat needs to be degrimed, Books need to be read preferably at 3x week, mostly off shelves. Ad resisting opposing materials are of an academic nature and require £££ to be brought but the information thereof could be useful in waking up to the crafty swearwords devices, whilst most importantly being a poor woman of extremely good culture and taste!!
