    I know what you mean about the savings...I have a jar with about £200 in it at the moment, we add to it most days with £2 coins and 50p's, to be honest we should really use this towards debt payment but I just can't bear to part with it, sort of a security blanket ( a small one) and it's going to go towards a holiday.

    Please tell me £160 of your £200 food budget doesn't just go on starbucks??????????

    SF are you at Lancaster Uni? Just wondering from your location, cos that's where I went.

    Haha that made me laugh, you know the exact length to put it in the microwave for! :rotfl: :T :rotfl: I love melted chocolate SO much. Where I live, there's a chocolate shop which has a massive chocolate fountain in the window. When I want a treat, i go there and get a bowl of strawberries and melted chocolate. mmmm :)

    YES!!! I got a loyalty card YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe I forgot to tell you I thought of you when they offered and I said yes! so far one sticker. yay! no caffe nero ear my work but PLENTY near my synagogue so I might start going there!!! Takeout coffee rocks.
    Even if you get a sticker for one or two of the coffees you get, its better than nothing :)
    Well, you've got a good idea there. I might reduce savings money to £25. My idea is to build up a savings of £400 and keep it so that I have a month';s or two month's worth of emergency money.
    Sounds good to me!
    and yes, HSBC is the next one to go:

    By May's payday, I bring M&S under 1000 asnd HSBC under £800. Then I transfer £500 to M&S (BT only little as seen above) and at June payday I pay off the rest of HSBC. Then I will only have the M&S card to pay off. Good plan?

    A very good plan, yay! I hope you can do it, I'm sure you can! :dance:

    somehow managed a double post there...how odd!!

    I think it's a combination of the sauce and the base, as long as the base is nice and fluffy...like proper Italian pizza....yum...oh I want one now..but i've got some concoction of food in a slow cooker (my first attempt), it's not ready yet and it's only been cooking for 7 hours!!!



    I'm in Lancashire....snow has now stopped...how sad...guess i'll have to go to work after all!

    Nic, I did law and I also attempted Italian in my first year....big mistake! Have many fond memories of campus bar crawls and spent far too much time in Fylde JCR....ah those were the days... So you're a musician then? how exciting...what kind of music?
