    Probably will be the one and only time that I will be allowed to get away with it so I intend to enjoy every minute:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Evening everyone,
    Just thought I'd pop in though there's not a lot to report!!!!....DD and DH are both out at work so I have some me time and am going to have a nice long soak in the bath later....
    I haven't done a lot today...just had a walk and dropped my subs off,popped to a mates cafe...then came home did some washing and cooked tea...so pretty boring day!!!
    I have so far got £185 towards an overpayment this month to my Barclays CC but will have £120 i/b to add to it,£140 DHs pension and £150 board off DD...so a pretty sizeable overpayment!!!...I intend to pay this on the 10th of this month the day that they take my minimum payment as if I pay it earlier they don't take my minimmum payment...
    I will look into making a egg overpayment later in the month if possible...
    I haven't put my tax money away this week yet but will do 2 weeks at the end of this week as tommorrow a lot of big bills come out all the ones from the 1st-3rd sept..then I have a few more up until the 6th...then it's a bit better...so will plod on and try not to go into my O/D ....it's a fine line as I'm not used to following a budget

    You'll do it Taxi. Whatever happens you always seem to cope.

    I envy you that long relaxing soak. DH is tiling the bathroom and it's out of action for the duration (and knowing the speed he works at I don't expect it to be fully operational until October:eek: ). At least we've got a shower and another toilet:j .

    Have a good week:beer:

    Morning Imp,
    Sorry to tell you it was heaven..I gave myself a full sugar scrub and the soaked in a nice hot bubble bath with Liz Earle orange flower wash...then I gave myself a facial...so feel brand new!!!..
    You'll really enjoy it when you have your lovely new tiled bathroom...Have a good week yourself

    Not too bad a day at all really - already got a couple of extra shifts to cover holidays so hopefully it will add up to a reasonable amount of extra money by the end of the month. Every little helps!!
