    Hi Yellow,
    I think I prefer to be at work at the moment, although it was nice to sleep in...work is a good distraction.

    I can't sleep in hotel rooms either.

    HM Egg mayo butties for me today, I am going to get well and truly back on track next month.

    Have fun in London xx

    I feel the sane about wk LL, it's a good distraction when things are sh1tty.
    Yesterday I called the solicitor, no cheque but he is supposed to be calling me back today with the 'next steps'
    Transferred funds our of paypal £90. Still one person left to pay but they are having probs with bank acc so will leave that money in paypal when they pay to cover fees.
    Money still ok'ish
    Going home today and working tomorrow so will have to do a trolley dash as no food in fridge.
    Can't wait to get home to sleep in own bed

    Afternoon all,
    Feeling yuck today, just done some quick calcs and the debt has well and truly stagnated, will post actual figs at end of month.
    The small cards are roughly the same but emergency stuff has gone on vanquis and it's cancelled out my good work gggrrrr.
    Applied for bal transfer today but rejected so there's that ideas out the window, eBay it is then!!!
    Complained to Asda the other day and they have just phoned me to send a £10 gift card yippee!! Happy with that, that will do a shop for packed lunches.
    Found a 3.00 debenham gift card lurking in purse so will put that towards my next eyebrow treatment.
    Got about 100 spare in account tomorrow plus 100 cash in purse so need to decide where that's best used. Will pay cash into bank tomorrow and put it off a card ASAP!
