    Right then Gala have paid me :) So I have transferred it straight to freemans like I promised I would because I am a good girl honest. I know I've already spent some of the money on pizza and donald russell for my family, but I did still have some money leftover and I've not touched any of the grocery/petrol/spending money in my purse this week, so kudos to me there whoop whoop.

    So.... Freemans is on the last hurdle now 92.95% paid off with £70 left to pay :) at this rate when it gets to the 20th I might not have to pay anything extra off it wouldn't that be nice.

    Mixed news from me - I got my payout from Gala, but stupid bank charged me interest on my overdraft (£18:eek:). So overall I have broken even. I really can't wait to pay off that overdraft as all my other debt is interest free. If I can find another £40 from somewhere this month and then I'll be able to pay it off on payday.

    I did wonder how long it was taking to come out. My original stake wasn't even showing as unavailable balance in my account like it usually does when you use your card but the cash itself hasn't fully processed yet... it only went out yesterday afternoon but no sign yet of what I won and drew out.
    Did it show as tracking straight away on TCB or did it take a while to appear? There's nothing for Gal4 showing at all as yet so it might never happen. I don't used TCB very often :huh:

    When the freezers emptied a bit I might have a look at Donald Russell too. Well done for paying straight to Freemans and for not touchiong other money :)

    TCB isn't showing gala just yet. I did a few offers so that's why I can see mecca.
    I was expecting gala to take a lot longer to pay me, so I'm quite pleasantly surprised. I've just realised if I sacrifice the £50 I spent on the bingo, I can use the full winnings to pay off freemans, and I think I have scope in my finances for doing whoop whoop :D Hurry up and pay me!!! hehe:rotfl:
