Mr T has been tackled, parcels have been collected and posted

Shopping this week came to £22.09 :T

Going to have a much needed cup of coffee and then start on the housework.

I thought the weekends were for relaxing???????

firesidemaid

was just looking at your sig and thinking......

you've paid off nearly £1300 in 5 months.

so, the carp one cc should be shot in 6 months, especially with your honed debt-busting skills:)

i've been slow to get into christmas this year. so, after my cup of tea i'm off to spend a few hours mooching round the shops looking for inspiration AND bargains;)

will report back later..........

Ohhhhhh I hope so, to see carp one (lol ) gone would be brilliant.

Enjoy your shopping, hope you get lots of bargains If you've got a BHS try there - 50% off some of the stuff :j

What a fantastic place to be in! I have half my shopping at least still to get. :eek:

I think firesidemaid's quite right - you will be shot of that card long before the year is out. :T

Thank you miggy and you and firesidemaid have much more faith in me than I have in myself

£10 is an absolute bargain firesidemaid.

It's Sunday - a day of rest and relaxation. Huh!!! I don't think so, I have so much to do and I can't get motivated

It's all just housework really and I might (and might not) let the DD's put the Christmas tree up later. They are driving me mad about it but it's only the 11th, there is still two weeks to go and if I put it up now it seems to have lost it's specialness (is that a word?) by Christmas. Does anyone else agree that Christmas just gets earlier and earlier every year. Next, there will be people putting up their decorations in September :eek:
Not to worry though, as soon as Christmas is by the Easter eggs will go on sale :rotfl:

Have nothing much to report on the money saving/debt crunching front which after the past few days is a very good thing. I am not venturing anywhere for the next couple of days and hope to spend absolutely zilch between now and payday (4 days to go). It all depends on whether I can squeeze 3 journeys to and from work out of my petrol tank :cool:

I am off to obsess over December and January's spreadsheet, not that it'll have changed much since the last time I obsessed over it ....... about 20 minutes ago
