    Money stuff

    So the scary thing is that having paid off the whole of this card about a year ago its again up quite high. I use it alot for work expenses/holidays etc but it needs to be reeled in a more than a bit.

    Current balance of Captain card as of todays date

    £3865.88/£4200 limit

    Just paid £100 from this but all my work expenses are now paid and I need to shovel them towards this now too. The min payment off next week is £189 so that will help too. But, this card needs alot of work.

    Scary biscuits

    The other card lucifer is

    £705/£2300 limit

    Must see what I can put towards both of them once I've juggled money for the DD's and see what I can throw at them. I've not been focussing on this away from MSE and I really need to.

    Game on cards, game on.

    Off to add these to the sig

    ETA ok the extra dribble on the captain card was driving me crazy so paid the £5.88 too.

    Nice round numbers now 3760 remaining and decreasing.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:

    Thanks Piq and its not just you RT :)

    Exciting after walk (another 3.8 miles putting today upto 8.2 miles of dog walking goodness), we hit the reduced shopping and bagged

    Strawberries 40p x 2 boxes one for eating one for jam
    Turkey breast chunks 300g 1.95
    89% beef burgers x 4 chunky monkeys for - 75p (will reshape into meat balls I think, probably enough for two teas.)
    chocolate button treat puddings x2 25p for DD on study leave
    prawns - £1.10 for a decent box
    ham - 69p

    Most of that lot in the freezer now - next weeks meal plan will be based on that lot.

    They also had a whole pile of reduced neeps - but I've two already in the fridge, so I stepped away from the neeps.

    Safest really.

    Hiya! Blimey, that cc *has* crept up, hasn't it. Norty cc! Hope the focus really helps you get that down again. I'm seeing your usual energeticness and lovely stripey coloured list, thats much more fun :rotfl: I'm also seeing that *decreasing* count to the move in your sig - very, very exciting!

    I have to tell you - my chili plants showed their heads above the soil yesterday, and now the first of the land cress have too :jThey're all in those trays of plugs you can buy, 5 trays for £1. Couldn't find an indoor watering can at the poundshop, grrr, so had to buy one at a proper shop :eek: the screwtop things that go onto old bottles really weren't working for me, and its an investment, after all :rotfl:

    Hope today's going well for you so far, Pippi :kisses3:

    Hey there Pippi, how you doing? Has all that dog walking tired you out?

    And don't get scared of the credit cards now you've mentioned them. You can tame them no problem, truly :kisses3:
