  • so yesterday was a NSD :) and today will be as well. i managed to resit the cake and i have brought my bread & tinned toms for my lunch (i've gone adventurous).

    paid another £2 off each CC. not adding bits to the mint loan as only 2 payments left & i'd have to call up & pay and would probably end up spending more on the phone bill that i would be paying off.

    hubs still no luck on the work front but still trying so hopefuly something will come up soon :)

    hope everyone has a good day :)

  • Hi Loz, well done for resisting the cake! I've done nothing but eat junk today, just because I'm bored.

    After Christmas I'm going to try and do the same as you and make small overpayments to the ccs because they all add up.

  • mmmmm cake!

    I wish I had your will power hun. I find it's a major bad habit of mine and probably explains why I'm not getting anywhere with the NSD's and my waistline is expanding :)

    Must try harder! lol
