    I've got a whopping 10p from OnePoll (!!)

    Me too. Was is about jokes by any chance?

    Knock Knock!
    Who’s there?
    Cash!
    Cash who?
    No thanks, but I’d like some peanuts!

    Hi FF- great to see you are over on Mfw. It feels weird not being on the df birthday thread and Pad threads anymore.
    Hope everything is going well

    Hey F_F

    Fantastic on having to buy smaller jeans..you go girl :D Well done on the OP and the savings too. Its all going swimmingly for you. keep up the good work. ;)

    I had a fantastic weekend, tiring but great, my two teams did really well, One got to a final and won and the other narrowly missed out on the quarter finals. We had four teams altogether and the others got to the semis and the final but both missed out.

    The girls gave me two bottles of wine to say thank you which I thought was sweet (from the parents who were there) they are underage to buy it themselves bless. I have given one to my sister in law and the other I will take to a retirement do at the weekend so no spends required and out of harms way. :D I put 1lb on this week, mainly due to not enough foodage or going too long between hey ho.

    Anyway have a good day tomorrow hun. ;)

    Thanks Footie - sounds like you had a lovely weekend :D

    I'm still waiting on Mr F's sister to pay me her rent money (she rents out spare room) She should pay me on the 1st of the month but I'm still waiting :mad: She spends most of her time at her boyfriend's house at the moment, but I still want my cash ;)

    Money stands like this:

    PAD/Spends - £74
    Entertainment - £14.19 (Spent £9 this morning on two discounted tickets to a food festival :D)
    Groceries - £97.44
    ISA - £1933.56....so close :D!

    I'm only 14 SB away from ordering my next Amazon voucher, so I've been searching and searching this morning trying to win some points :rotfl: I'm hoping that they will pay out by tonight and then I can start afresh in the morning.

    I have £22ish sitting in my OP account, and will withdraw this and make an OP when it gets to £100. Not being able to pay directly into the mortgage is a pain!! I did put my £16 in change in yesterday though which was good.

    I have weigh in tomorrow at WW. Ideally I will have lost another 3lb to take me to a full stone, but I'm not convinced that I have to be honest. I'm trying to think happy thoughts (and avoid biscuits, haha!!)

    Off to do some comping now. I used to do a lot of comps and was reasonably successful, but gave it up a while ago. I think it's time to get back into it and try and win me a holiday :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thank you for your kindness but I have used itison before and I got the email this morning and really fancied it. Just had to check with the girlies that they were all up for it. They are so I have now got the tickets! I thought it was a great deal :) See you there!! :D xx

    Hi F_F

    And thank you, it was a great weekend and the sun was out all weekend.

    Good on the OP savings you will be there before you know it. Hmmmm your so right, if she had her own place she would have to pay up on time, its not fair on you. Hope you have a good rest of the day and catch you later. You will be fine at WI tomorrow positive, positive ;) x

    Rent money is in :D

    I've got £200 in my current account to cover the credit card, I've been to the bank and paid £50 into my mortgage and another £50 into my ISA. I'm now less than £20 away from my savings goal :j I'll PAD until I get there - probably by my next payday!
