    Would have given you permission to buy hoodie.
    Life is too short not to.

    It depends on how tall you are. Some hoodies don't look good...

    I didn't know what a Ramstein was

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think I actually pee'd my pants a little there Housework*Fairy!

    Glad you had a fab time FF (although I don't think you actually said it but I know you did :)). Gig spends are the best, the entire reason my debt free date isn't tomorrow (or indeed anytime close!) but what fun!

    A hoodie spend would have been allowed by me too :A

    Money

    PAD/Spends - £53
    Entertainment - £0.62 thanks to gig spends :D
    Car fund - £520
    Groceries - £74.09
    2nd purse - £16.53
    Loan balance - £3850.09
    Savings - £2851.03
    Actual balance - £999.06

    A few things to note:

    • I have no Entertainment money left, but don't have much of a social life :D
    • My food shopping this week will be under a tenner as we're off on our short holiday on Sunday and only need fruit (I'm buying some to take with us too so I can pretend to be Fat Club friendly!)
    • My loan is under £1000 :D:D:D I also managed to pay £26 into it this morning thanks to more bingo winnings and my monthly Reward payments, so that's another good dent in the balance
    • I also have another £10 in my groceries purse, but because it's in £2 coins I'm trying not to spend it :rotfl:

    Oh, and the sodding car insurance renewal arrived yesterday, so that'll be a fun afternoon tomorrow shopping for quotes *yawn*

  • Try Axa through Quidco directly. They do show up on comparison sites but bizarrely they are more expensive on the comparison sites.

    They had quoted me the cheapest, and at the time I was searching, I was chatting with a friend on FB who was also looking for car insurance. He told me to try LV as they were the cheapest he had found, which I did, but they came out a lot dearer for me. While I was doing that, he actually went to Axa and got a quote £50 cheaper than LV had quoted him. However I have had to put in an earnings enquiry because it didn't track, so I hope I still get my £28 as promised.
