Hi Jet,
You seem to be doing OK with the spends - shame we can't manage to give up the nicotine, but you seem to have it sorted.
Welcome Jak,
If you & BF have £10 each you should be fine!
I bought petro; today & didn't even think about buying chocolate or a drink - how good is that!!
Pre Lent/unnecessary I would have bought 3 choc bars at the filling station so that people thought that I was buying them for other people and not just for me! Who was I fooling:rotfl:
Received a wedding invite today for my cousin's son's wedding - we would love to go (and will) but that is a very unexpected expense:mad: will need to come up with a big plan!0 -
off to Paris a week today then Valenciennes which is an hour out on the Friday then off to Brussells on sat oohhhh i cannot wait, just tell me to shut up if i get too much - i havent been on a proper holiday abroad since i was 6! having an annoyingly successful older brother is quite handy now cos we're getting free accommodation the DFW in me felt very chuffed at this
need to head off to a booooring meeting be back later0 -
Hi Pippo - u posted while I was posting - this is getting too spooky lol
I'm doing OK just got to get back on course properly after my little 'holiday' from MSE:rolleyes::p . I've also found out today that I will be getting a cheque for just over 800:D :j which will nicely clear most of my Lloyds OD if I keep to budget. They are charging me a horrific 17.9% :eek: so I can't w8 to kill that one;) . All my debt will be at 0% then :money:
The dog does not have his own budget:o - especially as he chews and wants to play with anything and everything (3 pair shoes, 1 pair boots, 1 top, 1 coat, 2 dolls push chairs, scooter handlebars, ironing board cover, both DDs bike seats, a barstool and his bed and prob more that I've blanked from my mind) despite having plenty of his own toys to play with. I'm also petrified that he may have had a bit of hanky panky with next doors !!!!! 2 days before he had the snip. Yes.....she was in season:eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: ............and I've only had him 3 weeks:rotfl: :rotfl: He's got a gr8 sense of humour tho and walking him does us the world of good - I'm hoping now he's lost his privates he will calm down a bit!!JUST DO IT ONE BRICK AT A TIMEPROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBTSWeekly Budget: groceries£50/petrol£50/Unnecesary£15DEBT PAID = 58% (£4,212/£8216):T0 -
Hi Jet,
yes too spooky for words!!
Benson sounds great (although a bit expensive!)
Not sure of the 'protocol?' re neighbours dogs & hanky panky - hope they aren't expensive pedigree !!!!!es though!
poor dog - he is with you for less than 3 weeks & you have his bits chopped off!! (Could be a good plan on the man front if needs be!!)
Take care
Love to the girls

OOH - typed the correct word for female dogs & it seems I have been automatically corrected (?) - no offence meant - I didn't even think about it!0
