i'm not sure what cash actually looks like Pippi, i very rarely have any in my purse it's just disappears otherwise.

well done for clearing your card Pippi, all i've done of late is spend spend spend it's really annoying me and making me skint.

Well done on clearing your c-c Pippi ! Also great you've found the hen...more chooks too!!! :T:T

Yup, it is a good feeling clearing some debt...we seem to have not cleared our Mr T cc (the only we use, have a 0% one which we are slowly clearing), this past couple of months, need to develop a plan to clear it asap. Living out of my self employed earnings atm, which is easing things somewhat. These earnings were always going to go to savings and used when needed......ie now!

Typing this as I hang on the end of the phone to HMRC. Have sorted out my tax coding this morning, now waiting for help with my NI payments.

....sorted!! Feeling quite smug...now. :A

Though "all" I have to do now is finish sorting out all my receipts for my crafting business :eek: Since I only took £200 last financial year, it seems such a lot of work to calculate the inevitable overall loss I made, once I take into account my time etc Still, I made a start a while back, just need to get it all done........then I'll be ready to tackle my first Tax Return!!! :eek::eek: That's enough financial stuff for today.

Off to whiz up the bungerall soup I made this morning, so DS2 and I can have some for lunch...yummmm. Plan on doing some sewing this afternoon, though the garden is tempting me too.

Nope, much as I'd love to, I need to make a birthday present for a friend, I hope to see her on Sunday, so I need to get started today. I am working at the shop tomorrow, with one of the sewing teachers from the workshop upstairs, as my boss is away. Looking forward to it, 'cos she is planning on showing me how to use some of the more expensive fancier machines we sell...and I'm getting paid for this...yippee!!!! :j

Have a lovely weekend every one xxx

Hey Up All! :hello:

Pippi - Brilliant news on the CC clearing - onwards and 'downwards' (with the debt figure I mean), onwards and downwards! Oh, and Yay to finding your chuck chuck - plus extras!!!! Do you do that with all your livestock?? Didn't you have 2 cats and now you have 4 or something??? Try waving your magic over a pound coin - see if it doubles or triples - hee hee.

Starnac - hope your BB has found relief from his emerging toothypegs and the teething powder continues to sooth.

Keiss - love that 'playing' with sewing machines (to assess their suitability for your customers, natch ) is all part of your day, and that you get paid for it too - bravo!

Anyway, I'm in the middle of a huge washing pile (only went away for 4 days :eek:) so I'd better toddle off and do some more. Plus must remind DP that RNAS Culdrose is on TV in a little while - so we can sit there and say 'stood there', 'saw that' ......sigh (never mind the olympic flame :rotfl:)

Pippi - hope the charity plant sale/garden day goes swimmingly tomorrow and you get lots of folks 'converted' to growing their own flowers and vegetables.

Have a great evening all.

Ooh yes, the big do is happening tomorrow, isn't it! Pippi, I doubt you'll be online before then, but sending you positive vibes, mostly definitely.

ooooo - all the talk of Canada & maple syrup - it's downright homey on the thread this week!:j

It's the first time I've ever heard the word exotic used in the same sentence as Canada!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Baby chickens - how exciting!!! - can't wait to see piccies of the little chicks on your 'other place' Pippi!

Oh now I do like a good jaffa cake!

OK a pottery type of day for me today

The credit card is £5.66 in credit go me!

I've posted a thread on the tax credits board here to see if anyone has any light to shed on the 'when do the tax credits for DS stop' question.

I'd rather have an idea of what will happen before I phone them and mayhem breaks loose.

House is disgusting - well its clean but food requires planning for the week.

I'm actually ON A DAY OFF - but so much paperwork urgently needing attended too I might do a bit later.

Couple cheques in for gardening work so need put them in the bank then to the cc

And, excitement mounts - went to see a car today (green) - and might go and see the garage when its open. Its same as my own one but green and newer and less mangled.

Mr F is away, DD is studying and DS is off adventurising.

Puppies are home but currently eating chicken food - best not ask.

Otherwise a pretty normal day here!
