  • Thanks Snags xxx

    Today my ISA book came. I tried opening one at the start of April, but the guy got it wrong and just opened a normal savings account.

    So now I have two little blue books. My Future.

    Hi Buffy - hope you're feeling better by now. You deserve a nice bf so why would he leave you. You are a lovely caring person and he's lucky to have you!!

  • Thank you. I think he thinks I am a bit nuts.

    Hey ho. took today off. REALLY NEEDED to process my "stuff"

    I moved some money into my ISA, moved my other loan money to a higher interest account.

    I cleared out my desk drawers, emptied two boxes and ok so to the untrained eye my room looks the same but doesn't feel the same.

    Tomorrow I shall move a few more bits. And it will look different.

    night lovely friends xxxx

    Evening,

    Had to go to Sainsburys after work and have no clue where the evening went!

    paid off my CC for the month. hideous amount of money covering alsorts.

    Have joined an insane challenge in May. phoned up about a balance transfer and applied for a new CC with a BT offer but as I want it paid into my account for the loan I am not sure it will work.

    I think I shall move what I can on to 0% am hopeful it will be most of it and I can focus on it daily rather than monthly - I lose interest so quickly.

    Need to pay off 850 each month. mental me thinks


    so tired night all xx

    Hi buffy! Intrigued about this insane May challenge! What is it? Re paying off the debt - on one of the threads there is a chart with 100 squares in it where you break it down into 10% chunks and colour in a square every time you pay off 10%. Would this keep your interest? I thin square chart thing is called Cheeky Monkey or something like that.

    Hope you are ok today.

    Hi buffy just checking in to say hello. Re my message above - meant to say 1% squares not 10%. Maths was never my strongpoint (even though I work with figures now ironically!).

    Hi Buffy hope you are ok - you've been quiet for a couple of days. Hope this means you're busy having a great bank holiday weekend!!!
