    Fat Calves is back!

    Good day at work today, sold a £600 coffee machine so I'm star pupil of the company!!!

    No spender too! Seeing the boyfriend a bit later, got some chicken in fridge for cooking, all is well.............. oh and day off tomorrow :)

    Yay for you :) But what does a £600 coffee machine *do*? I assume it's a lot more than make coffee?!

    had a productive day so feeling good. beautiful day so took dog for long walk on beach and got jumped by a hyperactive lab who took a fancy to my leg! eep!
    right hows this for moneysaving? soo tempted to buy 24 series 5 on dvd been looking everywhere for cheapest deal. average £40 checked ipoints and i had enough points to buy it from them! woohoo! total spent zero! sorry i feel very proud of myself for that.
    ok enough blabbing. am going for a zero spend this week! France is 3 weeks away and i need to save my money. i somehow managed it for nearly 40 days before so 7 should be a doddle *gulp* right?

    I really need to update my sig haven't done it with respect to this challenge for over a week. Things have taken a bit of a turn here, BF decided to tell me last week that he doesn't love me anymore and he hates this house and doesn't want to live here. So now, we have to get the house ready to sell. Am not impressed, looks like my debt free date is going to get put back, though I do have about 60k in equity in this house, so therefore I could pay it all back once the house is sold. The only thing I can say is yay for debts to family as it's on 0%, though I really was hoping to pay it back by the end of the year.

    I must try really hard now to ensure that I don't spend money on things uneccessarily, as most of my spare money is going to end up being used to pay for the work on the house now. Today I bought tile grout and a paint brush, and resisted the chocolate :)

    Hi all, sorry to hear your news Shirley, what a shame things haven't worked out, but now is time to look forward and move on - I hope it goes well for you.

    Well my first day of my first week of the UC got off to the perfect start with a NSD! So only 6 days to go and hopefully I can keep going and have at least a couple more NSDs to help with the UC!
