    Hi Whatatwit...never realised it was post £500...
    Looking forward to the egg card....I intended definitely to put the O/D and sofa on it...but...the taxi insurance is due in sept usually about £1500...I didn't know whether I'd be back at work by then or not or whether I would've saved enough for it...so I think it's safer to take it off the card and put it in the high interest account..then if I don't use it I can pay it back to the card...
    Have you been busy at work....OH said it was quiet last night and I guess it will be tonight as Blackpool are playing at Wembley tommorrow and a lot of the monthly paid people aren't paid until next week!!
    Hope the family is well

    Hi everyone...
    Not a lot doing here I'm afraid!!!....just registered on the Barclaycard site so I can pay my card...well...it's like fort knox!!...managed it anyway...PHEW!!!
    So rang them to set up DD for minimum payment and it takes 6 weeks so have just paid them there minimum payment £111....
    I will pay Halifax there's in the next couple of weeks...then can concentrate on the Barclaycard and Egg card (when it arrives)...
    I made a big pan of lentil soup so that's tea sorted for a few days....

    hi taxi
    glad some things are going well in your part of the world. I finished my essay and got 63% for it. Not bad but must try harder for the next 2 and the project.
    Still I got an amazing freebie off the freebies board that made up for it, which is 4 tickets to go and see car racing at Donnington in September!:D :j How cool is that!

    Hi everyone...hope you are all ok....
    I managed to do 3 loads of washing today and dry them outside...clean the kitchen sink and drainer and make the tea...so slowly getting back to normality at last!!!
    Been to the bank and banked the weekends takings and DH had a brilliant take...so really happy about that...popped in to my mates cafe and had a brew(free)..so not too bad a day..
    Forgot on my walk nipped into Iceland and spent £25 so I could have free delivery...freezers are jam packed now...so no more shopping for a while...
    The Egg card hasn't arrived yet..hope it won't be long...
    I have paid £99.66 off Halifax CC today...£80 in change plus the direct debit for £19.66....so....I may have rid of this for next week...actually looking at it will definitely have rid of it as I have £140 off it on thursday and get my Incapacity on monday...WOW can't wait...that will be £2500 paid off to them...
    I can't wait until I'm rid of them all!!!

    Hiya!

    How exciting - getting shot of the Halifax CC next week! Good for you lady!

    Nice to read you are getting back to normal at home as well hon.

    How lovely being able to pop into a friend's cafe for a free cuppa. :coffee:

    I'd love that....
