Today I've finally tried filing all our paperwork into old winnie the pooh files from university who says paperwork needs to be boring. And saved me money too

Weeeeeeeeeeeell I do have a sister who lives in Wales, but she doesnt have kids :rotfl:. I drive my eldest sister mad at times, she once announced when my nephew was younger that she wasnt going to give him sweets, so I went to Mr T and bought him a mix of all the mini packs on 3 for £1 and posted them to him :rotfl:. Put his name on the parcel and everything

It was his birthday this week and I dutifully bought one of the lego sets on the list given . . and threw in 2 full tubes of coloured bathtime body paint

Congrats to the sis Jemma!

You lot are evil... But you don't know the good old trick of tablet and Irn-Bru, pure sugar meets pure sugar+caffeine! Our parents had a tough time of it

A quick warning to anyone who has a Tesco credit card. I checked my online statement this morning and it said i had £16 in purchse interest charges. I clear this card in full every month.
When i rang them they said they couldn't see why i'd been charged it and they'd had some system changes which may have caused this to be charged!!
They will make a lot of money out of people who don't check and don't question it

Hi Folks,

Mrs Addicted to spending - I really hope the 2 leaking pipes and the broken fence are the 3 things, and that the carpet can be saved.


Nothing much to report from me today, I haven't been out anywhere so I haven't spent any money, which is my main focus this month so that I can make an overpayment against my debt total.

Thanks Kerfuffle - my plumber has managed to do something to radiator pipe to stop it leaking and I'm trying to dry out carpet. He's going to mend the other one - £65 . I'm going to ignore fence for now as it's leaning on a tree and only get it replaced if my neighbour mentions it .

Good luck with your goal of not spending!
