    So far this month with regular payments and over payments and my addictive but effective PADding I have paid off £345.20 of the debt :) That is 1.73% or there abouts :D. It seems a long way still to payday - think will just about make it!

    Snowing here again :) Have trip to The Biggest Town ( a City) tomorrow for my annual venture to sample the NHS 'over the border' Must remember to refuse any prescriptions - if needed - from the kindly consultant. I will just ask the name and get GP to prescribe ;) I am not expecting any need but I was once caught out! OH is supposed to coming along but is now hobbling around with recurring bad back problem :(

    Well I have submitted my PPI claim against T*sco CC - not holding out much hope on this one as I only have 1 statement and when I rang they wanted to see all of them as they no longer have my details..............and the other reason is as that was given the run around to various depts and different phone numbers and being cut off in mid sentence and when I finally thought I was making progress the cheery person on the end of the line said 'I will just transfer you to the complaints team' and a nice young man ( well sounded young!) from an Estate Agents in Potters Bar answered the phone:eek::rotfl::eek: He apologised and said it happened quite often.....................I despair!

    Survived the trip 'over the boarder' About 150 mile round trip, £3 in tolls and £2.50 for what turned out to be 15 mins parking - OH had to drive round and round and by the time he had found a space and then walked to where I was I was all finished and just coming out! Will be writing to consultant to remind him to give result by post then I will decide if I want to see him......too expensive to do all that again to have somebody say All OK see you in 12 months!

    I broke a mirror at the weekend and today I put 18 L of petrol in a diesel car - only driven diesel for more than 20 years so why I had complete brain freeze I do not know.......lets hope this isnt the start of 7 years bad luck. Going to cost a small fortune to put it right:(

    Oh I realised my mistake at the pump - put a litre of engine oil in tank filled up with diesel and drove home - local garage siphoned off today checked it all out and all OK - well fingers crossed. Have to top up every day - very easy I have 100 round trip commute. Also siphoned off fuel - £60 worth is still - OK to use. Cost me £96 which was a heck of a lot cheaper than the £200+ the fourth emergency roadside assistance was quoting:eek:

    Put it all down to being tired and having a lot to think about at the moment......................

    Extra payments and things have added up to just shy of £400 this month so thats 2% of debt gone in my book:D Got to do some CC 0% shuffling soon - not got an awful lot of wiggle room at moment. Will have to put thinking cap on!
