  • :j:j:j Well done ..... just think, that's just under £2k you've knocked off already!:money::money::money:

    :j:j:j:beer::beer: that's a fab amount isn't it :T
    :wave: Thanks :)
    Well today i'm angry-smiley.gif needed 2 new tyres for my car not budgeted for so i'm now £107 lighter smiley-sad008.gif
    On the plus side me and DH had a baking session and made almond macaroons and chocolate cupcakes :psmiley-eatdrink061.gifsmiley-eatdrink054.gif
    Goulash for dinner tonight :) Have spent too much££ the past 2 days so will need to now have a few NSD to make up for it :(
    On the plus side, back in the day i would have used the CC without even thinking about it for the tyres, today i paid with debit card :) will just have to budget harder in the coming weeks to make up for this overspend cry-smiley.gif
    Another dancing-smiley.gif is that the DD for one of the cards came out on Friday and along with the extra £500 paid off it we're nearly under the 6k on this card!!! The aim is to pay off this one (currently @ £6039ish) by Feb when the 0% ends and to be down to 15k by December.....might not be achievable but fingers crossed yes-happy-smiley.gif

    Yummmy that foods sounds delicious :D I reckon if you carry on as you are you'll make your targets no problems :T You're doing fab!

    Pretty non eventful day today.
    Checked the bank, still in the black ut quite a few DD's to come out this month :mad: Must check when our car tax is due......
    Not going to pay any extra off the CC's until end of month just in case there's anymore nasty surprises snyting-smiley.gif
    Very :D that the soccer-smiley.gif is now over and i can have the TV back :D
    A few things have :mad: lately, #1 that a certain person on the forums only post negative things all the time :wall: i know life is carp sometimes but cheer up!! i'm sure it could be worse (no-one on here BTW) and #2 how long it takes for an online payment to show up online with MBNA! speechless-smiley.gif 5 days nearly... speechless-smiley.gif
    Cheque for £26 to go in the bank tomorrow so that will go straight off the CC but no more until end of month......
    Hope your days have gone well studsmatta-smiley.gif
