We are about to pull the purse strings soooo tight!

Hi Alice,

Hope you are having a nice weekend.

I never send OH shopping, even if I give him a list, he never sticks to it and if he goes when he is hungry we end up with so much stuff we don't actually need or use. And I can't ask him to pop into Aldi as he can't quite keep away from those middle aisles with all the special deals in

Yum yum fish and chips :cool:

Wow what a busy day. Had a great time with friends tonight. Its great to have time out from worrying, debt busting and housework/work. My sides are hurting from laughing so much and no alcohol involved!!!:) Only had a mini fish and a few chips so will access the damage when I get on the scales when I get up tomorrow.

Itsa - I have the other end of the scale, my OH sticks religiously to the list even if he see's something we might need he still only sticks to the list!!! LOL

OH has had a look at washing machine, all springs etc look OK so he's put it back in slightly different angle, its still level so we'll just have to see how it goes.

Still need to update spending diary but that will have to wait until the morning. My DS2 starts cricket tomorrow and if we pay upfront we save £15.:(.............and will have to get up earlyish to take him.xx

I'm sure this has been a 10 minute weekend

Just had to put the heating on today, is was just sooo cold. Have pottered about today doing housework and have walked the dog. I have got a mountain of ironing but think I'll just do the essentials ie uniforms and do the rest tomorrow night as I want to go through budget/spending diary with OH.

Got on the scales this morning and I have stayed the same which is OK as I haven't had a very good week. I will be good this week though.....promise.xx

Thank you PinotGrigio41. I just tend to warble on but I find it helps.:)

Well all the ironing is done :T

Have been through and update spending diary/budget with OH.

We still haven't had confirmation from some CCs to confirm if they will accept reduced payment plan. Bcard made me feel like a right criminal, I know its just a standard letter and I know its their money and I was only borrowing it . OH going to check with CCCS tomorrow to see if they have any update. In the mean time I'm been referred to the banks recovery department......hope that's not too painful.:(

Shattered today so going to get an early night, I will catch up with everybody's diaries tomorrow. xx

PinotGrigio41

Warbling is good, its my favourite pastime at the moment ! Glad your ironing is done , I am very impressed, mine is haunting me !

Hoping you get some good news from the CCCs today x

Hi Alice,

Hope DH managed to find out more today. Dont beat yourself up, im sure they would rather have some payment that none at all.

Im glad you had a good night on Saturday xx

Mummytogirls and PinotGrigio41 what can I say OH didn't phone CCCS today. :mad:
After singing his praises to everyone on here over the last few weeks as well. Apparently he didn't have time........which means he forgot. The thing is is that all the paperwork etc is put away from prying eyes so there wasn't anything out to remind him.

Men.......aaarrrggghhhh.

He's promised he'll call them tomorrow

Need to get back on track with some NSDs.
