Hope you all had a good weekend. Very hot weekend in la la land - a bit too hot for my tastes, originating from cooler climes (its usually snowing in September....well, sometimes....)
Welcome lizzy23 :wave:
Whats going on with the spreadsheets?! Its like invasion of the body snatchers.....
I overspent at the weekend. Silly boy that I am. There was a locla fair and we got a bit carried away with the kids on the rides. I kept thinking we should be enjoying life and not letting it pass us by and that we can't get these times back. Now I feel guilty cause we've overspent. Need some decent results from ebay this weekend! Its not a lot, just a little bit. Trying not to let it stress me out!!!
Aaaargh, to win the lottery eh?
Fingers crossed for the lottery
Jacket pots with fillings, beans on toast, sausage caserole and pasta dishes will get you back on track
Sounds like you enjoyed.

I emailed Payplan today to get my settlement figures, as according to them I now have 3 months left (approx) to completion.
I`m hoping for good news !0 -
I spoke to CCCS on Friday and got all the paper work emailed through to me, I opened a co-op basic bank account and just waiting for that paper work to come through to me, getting all statements and bits ready to send back to CCCS so they can set up my DMP, Im so glad I made this decision
Welcome

I think we need to take some of this nutrition advice and will be stocking up on beans and lentils tonight. We have a sick pet and likely a big vet's bill tomorrow or later this week. Damn the money, all we care about it that he is ok
Further bad news is that the FOS will not take on M&S and say they are ok charging interest because of their "very carefully worded terms and conditions" :mad:
I wonder if anyone else would care to throw any more crap at us this week. Bring it on, we will take it all and come out strongerLBM 10/1/12 ~ DFW Start 6/2/12: £82,344 ~ Now Zero:staradmin:starmod::staradmin Debt free 17th April 2015 :staradmin:starmod::staradmin

Payplan have responded to my request for settlement figures with a reply of "check your balances online", which makes me think that they dont know !.
Thats fine, I will just keep paying as I have done for the last 81 months !.0 -
Beans, beans, are good for your heart,
The more you eat, the more you fart,
The more you fart, the better you feel,
So eat your beans at every meal.
Looks like we will be feeling good Talisker :rotfl:
By the way, I keep meaning to ask you if you are named after the place, the fine malt or something else?LBM 10/1/12 ~ DFW Start 6/2/12: £82,344 ~ Now Zero:staradmin:starmod::staradmin Debt free 17th April 2015 :staradmin:starmod::staradmin
