The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Payday

Although I now don't move our money about until NIMs payday so I only need to do it once. But I still get excited knowing there is lots of money in there, however briefly. This month I think we ended with about £100 still in the bills account (trying to create a float) so thats a positive. The spends account went over by about £35, it looks worse atm as NIM owes it about £13 as his mystery shopping pot ran dry.

N.I.M

In my defence I have several 3 figure payments due from a number of companies.

Eeeek, hope there were no noxious fumes or anything then!!!

Meh, we don't worry about things like that in our house! It was only 10 minutes, if that, till they went slack then I took them out and reset them, didn't want to ruin the labels with water and we still haven't got our heating on (love our hot little flat!) so couldn't stick them next to a radiator.

I am immensely busy. 3 days to go now and I still have loads of last minute things to sort out. People who have been travelling - any must take things?!

I cannot believe you go so soon! What day and time do you actually take off?! So excited for you but you must not forget us!

Hurrah for payday Dinah! My favourite day! :T

Happy Friday to everyone! :j

Happy Payday! I may or may not have bought a new party dress (I blame work stress for that too )

Annoyingly I forgot my PIN machines so I can't do my money shuffle til tonight. Ah well, work to do anyway...

Oh Zig - one thing I found handy when living in Spain - take a 4-plug extension lead, that way you only need one adaptor and can plug more than one thing in at a time - hairdryer, laptop, phone charger. Other people might not find this as useful as me, I'm an electricity fiend!

What a clever suggestion, I'd have never thought of that!

Lets see the party dress! I'm seriously struggling to find one for the party season, my Mum still owes me a birthday dress (from May!) but I just can't find anything! Everything seems to be shift or bodycon shapes but I look awful in them, I suit prom style but can't seem to find anything I like

Maybe this one will then! It's a bit pricey but I did get my NUS discount and can already think of 3 occasions when I can wear it

Nor me

Ooh I have an MSE question. I still don't full undertsand clubcard stuff. I got a till spit thing last night, - Oh no hang on, I've answered my own question haha!

Glad it's not just me NIM.

Finally planning to take that meal out we earned last month tonight, just trying to decide where to go. I actually have a spreadsheet of all the restaurants in our town because we want to visit them all at some point. With it being Friday none of the pubs in the town centre are on the cards, but the restaurants and rural pubs would be fine. Really looking forward to my date night.

Tch, I get it Greenie, these lamewads clearly haven't been out clubbing with the young folks in a long time!

Oooh what a cute dress, very Tete! It's nice and Christmassy too! I'd ideally like something with gold on so I can wear my wedding shoes with it, if only I had the money to hire someone to make me exactly what's in my head! Oh and I also need a white dress as I've decided that this year instead of being Mrs Claus this year for our Christmas party I'm going to be a snowgirl, I've got a mini top hat in the dressing up box so need a white dress, black buttons to attach to the front and a little scarf!

Enjoy your date night Dinah!
