Just listed lots of items on Ebay, keep your fingers crossed they sell for me!!!
My FM read the meter and the bills are now £62.90 each which is an improvement but still not fun!! She did offer to sub me until payday which was nice but I'd rather not owe money.
So I'll use the saving in bills to pay for the lunch on Friday for bosses birthday, I have said I'll buy my lunch for them both in Feb and requested we go somewhere reasonable or with voucher or tastecard on Friday!
Then I'm going to try and spend next to zilch the rest of the month as I still wanna pay extra off the Ccard!!!Santander 0% £1,529.94

Hi all,
Just checked Ebay, got a few watchers, no bids yet still 6 days to go!
Bought a prescription this morning so that was a £7.40 spend, going to spend the change on way home tonight on a bottle of squash and 2 jacket potatoes to eat at the weekend with tuna my Mum gave me so hopefully no more spending after today other than lunch on Friday, they didnt pick the cheapest of places but should hopefully be less than £15.
My current account available balance is showing exactly £70 less than the balance showing which is worrying. I havent made a spend of £70 so Im not sure what it is. The only thing I can think of is the cheque my uncle gave me for xmas was £70 but that cleared already. Will keep my eye on it!Santander 0% £1,529.94

Your diary is awesome London Girl!
I was just de-lurking to say that when my brother was out in Afghanistan I used to print Sudoku puzzles onto the Bluey letters and send them to him sometimes. It was something a bit different to fill in some time.
There are loads on the internet - if you do a print screen, paste to Word and then crop the image you can get about 6 to a page.
As long as there's no inserts in the Bluey they're free to send to any overseas operation, you get them from the Post Office (usually have to ask at the counter). There's also an online e-Bluey service.

She?? If you mean me, yeah I'm working... although on lunch now (and most definitely a he. Haha). Just had a quick trip to Argos for my sister's birthday present - got her a slow cooker! Haha very MSE. I was eyeing up the watches in the display cabinet as I have £60 in Argos vouchers saved from my birthday and Christmas and can't decide what to treat myself with
The £70 difference in your bank balances will almost defo be the cheque. My bank does this, they make the funds available soonish, but the actual balance doesn't update until the cheque properly clears. Can be so confusing the difference between available and actual balances. I wish they'd make it simpler.December 2005 TOTAL DEBT at its worst - [STRIKE]£20,596[/STRIKE]
