:exclamatiWinge Alert - turn away now if you don't want to be moaned at!! :exclamati

I'm feeling grumpy today just with the effort of it all I think. OH seems to be moody and I'm interpreting this as him sulking because he has to drop out of one of his planned social evenings due to no money. I've postponed one of mine too til next month!

I've just had to buy shoes too due to making a hole in the toe of my only decent pair of boots last week :mad:. Luckily I had a £20 voucher from DM (from Christmas), so only needed to put £9.50 to it, but it really is bad timing this month.

DS also reminded me that it's his friends b/d and he needs a card and a fiver...double :mad:. That leaves me with a few pounds for the rest of the week .

:eek: roll on payday...only 11 days to go !

Think I'm back to normal now (whatever that is :rotfl:) and I gather that you are too :T:T. Sometimes we just gotta let it out I guess .

Just realised that it's very close to statement date for the target CC (due on 23rd) and I'm wondering whether I can get just one more very little payment in before then. I really should wait til at least Thursday when I get my pocket money top up, but I sooooo want to make another payment !

Talking of pocket money, I've lost track of where I am this week, so need to check it. It's all got a bit muddled with other budgets as I've topped up little amounts on various budgets to avoid using the debit card. I'll check it later this morning to see what I have left, and then maybe I can make another payment to the card .

I need to run a couple of errands later...

• post office to buy stamps and return an ebay item
• bank to draw out cash for DD2s (block) driving lessons
• b00ts to check my points - I'm feeling the urge to spend, so using my points will ease the itch without affecting the bank account

Right, let's get cracking...

Sorry it's been a hard couple of days. Good idea to just spend the B@@ts points Been...gets it out of your system and with no spend needed!

I get a little obsessive with OPs too..but there is no point in going into the OD for them! ( which has been known!)... When will I ever learn!:o

Hey there Been:hello:

Been, glad you're feeling better about everything. Keep reminding yourself how much you have paid since you started this. I need to practice what I preach with this though.:o

And hello to you to Brizzle

I've had visits from all the B's...Brizzle, Banwa and Bonnington :rotfl:. Hi guys, thanks for posting and your encouraging words .

Brizzle I took your advice and didn't make another OP as it would have left me short of cash elsewhere . Thank you.

Well it's pocket money top up day today :j:T. So far I've spent:

£15.00 - to OH, his pocket money
£1.85 - pastie for OH as he was hungry, even after eating his sandwich :huh:
£16.85 sub total
£5.00 - to DD2 later, her pocket money
£21.85 - Total

In hand: £23.98 (I had some change left over from last week, so added it here). Let's see how long I can make this last .

OH is scouring the travel agents looking for a 'deal' at the moment, if by that he means something that will give us two weeks in the sun, all-inclusive for a tenner each, then I'm all for it :rotfl:. Otherwise I'm not really sure where the money's coming from :think: .

Hope you're all enjoying some sunshine, it's glorious here again today .

Perhaps your target credit card is the same as mine.
The statement for mine came out today as well. :rotfl:

I hope you're enjoying the weather and not working too hard over the week-end.

The balance on your card is going the right way. Great work. :T

Haha Been..think that's a question of doing what I say rather than doing what I do!! Loving your spends...nothing for you I see??!! Maybe you should claim half the pasty!!

Well done on the payments. As Mr Bonn says its all in the right direction so well done!
