  • I've not been on here for a few days as I've had a hideous cold and have been in bed. Means I've not spent much though, I guess! Am slowly recovering, but still really bunged up and feeling rotten, but have loads of Uni work to do tomorrow so have to pull my finger out and get it done. :(

    hugs to you RO, hope you get better soon :( there seems to be some horrid cold type bugs going round, Lily has had it and I cannot shake the headachey pain ive had since wednesday. Its like all my sinuses are blocked and ive got a stress headache on top :eek: its the only way I can discribe it :( Have ache all in my right cheek, round my eye socket and often pain behind both my ears, no idea whats wrong, might have to do docs :( Am living on pain killers at the minute which speaks volumes as im a complete tablet phobe and refuse to take them usually.

    Do you like him? He makes my skin crawl :o

    Sorry I have been awol - I promise I am back now with a new found motivation. Have three of my children's birthdays within the next 6 weeks so debt busting has taken a bit of a hit but I am feeling back on it now.

    I have BT my highest APR CC onto my other one at 0%. I was umming and ahhing whether to do it because I wanted to get the smaller card paid off in full by the end of next month, but I have decided it will save me quite a bit in the long run so I went for it.

    Still havent heard from Welcome about my PPI claim - it will be six weeks this monday so I hope I hear soon.

    My new total is £1798.58/7873.87 #130
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.
  • time to confess - unnecessary spend of £80.:(

    I took DS on a budgeted day out to the city, the plan was mueseum, N*nd*s and a mooch round the shops. The 'mooch' turned into a jumper and a jacket for him, not even 'needs' but 'wants'. Why is it that i had no urge to buy anything for me but gave into temptation to get him nice things?

    On the plus side i can put the money back over the next few weeks, the jacket was half price, we had our first meal at N*nd*s and DS and I had a fab day out.

    Although there was a bit of a dodgy moment on the train when we got caught between a group of middle aged Argyle football thugs (wrong in so many ways :eek: - where do i start?) and some Proper farmer lads on a stag do - the joys of public transport

    Another hundred off my total I've now reached my 10% point and (i've just put italics on the computer and I don't know how to switch them off, i hate this laptop) Well I'm delighted, it's payday Monday week and I still have money in the Bank, it's a great feeling.

    Continuing good luck to everybody.
