    Spends for the 1/1/13 = NONE!

    Spends for the 2/1/13 = £2.46 in Tescos, £27 quid on dinner out.

    Just pondering the idea of getting a CC at 0% to Balance transfer the loan...........Will ring Tescos in the morning. Would be much easier to make over payments.

    I was going to borrow the money originally from the CC.......Cannot remember why I didn't now.

    Yep, I was looking at that bleary eyed this morning. I did try spookily enough to apply for one online(with Cahsback) last night but got booted off the internet.

    Rang the bank to see how easy/hard it was to make over payments, I would have to do one off standing orders........which is odd but doable.

    I have various Credit cards. If I had my paperwork in order it would be ok as you can bet your life I have offers myself but paperwork is in boxes... grrrr.

    I need some food. That isn't turkey cheese or chocolate.

    visit my friend (wrap presents first!!!)
    come back finish loft tonight.
