That makes total sense now I've had a sec to think about it! Doh......Thanks!

I have a cat called Daisy who is a delight, I try to be lovely although i'm not sure I'm always successful...

Phew, I think we just had a bad experience with a traumatised cat (her house was in a fire). My parents have 4 delightful cats now and my Auntie had a lovely cat called Daisy too

No worries re:c/c, it gets a bit depressing otherwise as the amount goes down and then up again, confuses me too

Paid £130 off today First little dent made....only £8204 to go!

Hello all! Hope you're all doing well and debt-busting to the max. Tomorrow is payday, so I can do some serious debt busting - the catalogue's getting paid up so I'll have one less debt, yay!:j

Oh Kerri, I solved the problem of SB sign up. Apparently our internet at work is based in Poland or summat (I have no idea why) and thus we can't access UK only sites as we appear to be in mainland Europe. I reckon it's to stop the girls in the other office watching Eastenders on BBCi player:rotfl:

I already take my own lunch to work, have done for years, so I'm just going to pay off all the catalogue (it's only about £25 now, I think) and not have takeaway this weekend as we usually do on payday weekend:D

You're going through a proxy server then, which says "oh you're in poland" when actually you're not.

Yay for payday and paying off the catalogue, will be sooo pleased to get rid of mine

jakes-mum, my recent win came in £10 vouchers, ideal for Christmas pressies Fingers crossed that yours are too.

Competitions can be quite lucrative....but addictive so be warned! LOL

I've been comping, been doing it by searching in the search engine "E: <Date>/12 Win" moneysavingexpert where <Date> is the day of the month you want. I find I can get through those in about 15 minutes like that Although I don't do FB or twitter ones, or some of the sign up ones. Not sure if that's the right way or not.

We treated ourselves to a cupcake this afternoon, 6 of us in IT did. Now us 3 girls are feeling all bloated and ick. So tip for all those out there, if having eaten salty food at lunchtime (hog roast sandwich) eat a banana and drink lots of water. The potassium of the banana helps excrete sodium and the water helps reduce water retention

MSE evening, dinner will be free and so will drinks yay \o/
