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

    Hey all,

    I know I have not posted in ages, been so busy. Update my OH got a new job a very good one so it means it takes the pressure off. It also means he can use his redundancy to pay off our honeymoon and his loan making us debt free as a couple :) I still have no job but I have been applying like mad whilst still doing my degree. I am a month ahead on the course I am doing so will finish 2 months earlier :D

    My list:

    Checked bank
    Went through TCB and got £30 back and brought home insurance for the year saving another £30 in interest
    Looked for breakdown companies and found one 50% less than RAC and still providing the same service so will use them soon
    OH treated me to lunch
    We went to Ikea, we are getting new furniture for the living room on Thursday as well plus new washer/dryer is coming the same day :)
    Used free mins
    Done comps
    Used free texts
    Checked job sites
    I will help assemble boxes for storage
    Got nans shopping to drop in tomorrow

    Hope everyone has a good day!
