    Thanks Choc :A.

    Woohoo - another NSD for me :j.

    Managed to catch the Andy Murray match this afternoon. Off to Wimbledon 4 weeks tomorrow (birthday present from my sister). Really hope I see him play there :cool:.

    Morning all :)

    Started the day off well today and paid off a debt :j. Don't get too excited - it was only £15 :o. It was one of my mum's catalogues that I got furniture from (was originally nearer £300 though). Still it's a step in the right direction and I can remove that debt from my spreadsheet :D.

    So, spends today will be £10 for petrol and maximum £20 on food. Couldn't find any suitable vouchers, so will just use the extra point coupons I have for Tesco.

    Morning Emz,
    what an excellent way to start the day!

    I am hanging on until pay day tomorrow and then I can finally pay some more back to my dad and start saving again, (my car was recently serviced costing me £600+!! Totally wiped out all savings and has prevented me putting any away for a few months).

    Roll on tomorrow and then the long long jubille weekend :)

    Thanks Meow :A.

    I hope you can clear a big chunk of your debt tomorrow.

    Enjoy the long weekend too. Unfortunately one of the downsides of being self-employed is that I still have to work :(. There are lots of perks too though ;).

    Spent around £15 on the shopping and £10 on petrol. Ended up going to Sainsbury's though, so will use the Tesco vouchers another day.

    OH has just announced that he is away tomorrow night with work and then will be going to his parents until Sunday. I don't mind so much. Means I can save money and have some time to myself. Plus I don't get on that well with his parents so I'm glad I don't have to go ;).

    Just done a Pinecone survey so £3 Luncheon vouchers should be with me next week.

    Tired tired tired today a31.gif. Got up early to drop OH off at the train station and then did my auntie duties by taking my niece to school.

    Been looking at my finances and don't think I'm going to be able to make a major dent in my debt until July. So don't be surprised if that number in my signature stays the same until then ;).

    Right, better get on with some work I guess.

    Still feeling quite tired. Don't know what is wrong with me. I just can't seem to sleep past 5.30am/6am at the moment. I'm really going to try and get a lie-in tomorrow (ie 7am :o).

    Feeling good about June. I'm getting my new car on the 13th and I'm off to Wimbledon on the 27th :j. I'm also going to earn loads of money so I can make a nice big payment in July ;).

    It was an NSD yesterday and looks like it will be today too. Going to try and have 5 in a row.
