    lol Ciara, why do you think I had to ask everybody here?!

    But back onto topic and the reason why we're all here.

    I had another no spender today, and paid off a store card. So ignoring all else, I'm pretty chuffed with that. Now according to my best friend AKA Snowball Calculator my full debt free date (since my loan is non-flexible) is January 2009.............. something must have gone a bit wrong there, because thats what it was before!

    Oh god, old age is setting in already!

  • Today I transfered over £200 from my current account to my savings accounts. I'm using one of them to put any spare money in so that hopefully by the end of the year I'll have enough money to pay back the balance on what I'll owe my mum. Also bumped up the house account as we need to get the plasters in soon as once they've been in then it'll be paint, new carpet and new furniture etc time and I refuse to pay for any of it on my credit card.

    :bdaycake: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAFTGIRL

    Forget BF and the non existent card and if you're still mad don't go for dinner you'll probably end up arguing and you won't enjoy it :mad: Ask him for the money instead and pay off something else :rotfl:

    Seaxwyn What a lovely thought re the tickets
    ShirleyPark Wow well done on the saving and re budgetting

    Another no spend today although a magazine did start calling I resisted :rotfl:

    I agree with kiwi88 - you've got a serious grievance and these things are best discussed in the cool calm light of day. Add wine to the equation and you'll have an ugly row and not say what you want to say in the best way possible.

    Ask him to give you a Boots token to the value of the meal he would have bought and buy yourself an enormous bottle of conditioner.
