    Just applied for the Halifax Reward Account.....another £100 in the pot hopefully! The only thing is the overdrawn fee is £1 a day rather than 50p so thats an incentive not to get overdrawn! :rotfl:

    Well today wasn't a NSD :mad: as I had to tax OH's car which I will get back! I have my Tesco delivery at 9pm so its go for a run and then wait for it to arrive :p

    OH has now told his work that he was leaving in April, which is great because its a date to work towards I now need to find out whats on his CC so we can do a lot of work to clear it.

    I also have to tell my work this month I am leaving :eek:

    Definately exciting! But scary as we have really been going out for 5 months but by that time it'll be 7/8 months (we've been friends for over a year) :)

    Hi all, Im just back from OH's and we had a chat. I now know the level of debt OH has and it is through no fault of his own. I know a lot of people say that but in this case its to do with his family. :mad: And he is quite angry about it.

    I have come to the conclusion that he has to do it on his own. I can support him and help in anyway I can but I can't do it for him. If he wants to move to Edinburgh then he will have to motivate himself. I won't be the woman who nags him all the time. I know when I am ready to go and am considering telling the Boss this week so they have plenty of time to find someone and for me to train them up. :D

    Hi all well spending is under control, no more NSDs as yet but not a lot has been spent.

    I am attempting in having a clear out. I have cleared out half a box and condensed into another half used box so my room a little tidier. :T

    Also I have put 2 things on Ebay and a book on Amazon trade in scheme, so that will help sort out my Xmas. I have challenged myself to a free ish Crimbo this year.

    I am hoping to spur on OH as he needs motivating and last night he used his CC to pay for dinner :eek: I told him to cut it up and I would put something towards dinner, he wasnt having any of it :(

    So all this clearing up and clearing out hopefully will spur him on and motivate him, if it doesnt work I dont know what will! :cool:
