Julie2710, sorry to hear about the boiler - handy you had the pot to dip into I imagine!0 -
£7.19 just sent to the credit card. £5 of this was because I'm not going to fat club tonight because I'm poorly sick, so that's the fee saved. The £2.19 was to make my balance look tidier!
Will hopefully make another extra payment on friday as normal XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Morning Peeps,
Happy New Year to you all.
Had a lovely wombling Christmas worked all new year as thats how my shifts fall for next 5 years!!
Well back to reality and the grind stone of moving money and making it work harder -
.
Things are seriously tight and not good but whose fault is it anyway... not complaining dont get me wrong, I am just pushing myself into the right place for the year, I did a whopping amount last year without really realising what can be acheived.I am in a better place now to move on with this even though not done a lot in last 6/7 weeks.
