    Morning all

    I had an amazing time while I was away this weekend. The weather was fantastic, the beach bbq was surprisingly edible:). We finished off the evening listening to a band while overlooking dolphins in the sea.......we were still at home in Ireland!!!!!!. If only we got this weather regularly then there would be no need to go abroad.

    Yesterday was a SFD as OH paid for our b&b and bought dinner last night. I'm up to 11 SFDs:D. I need to do an inventory of my cupboards as I know I have a lot of lettuce but not much else.

    I also got a letter from Mr Ts saying that they were putting up my credit limit to £6000:eek:, they obviously must sense that my last payment will be heading their way next Mon:cool:

    Munchin .. Last payment!! That's amazing! You should send the card back to them in minuscule pieces as a way of a subtle 'no thanks'..:-)).. Unless your keeping it for emergencies..

    I'm en route to work.. Shall update from a proper screen and not my iPhone..

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent".

    Good Morning everyone!

    I spent £1.60 yesterday but am claiming it as a SFD under the "3 days under £5" rule and today will be a true SFD :)

    I am feeling very positive and determined to clear debts still, however n3xt sent me a catalogue on Saturday - they are testing me! I tried to cancel the catalogues as they cost £3 a year or so ago, but i still get sent them, just not charged! I flicked through and could've easily spent £150 but i resisted. The temptation was definitely there though as i am a lover of dresses with pockets. I don't know why - they just draw me in!

    Yesterday was a SFD. Took pooch for a long 11 mile walk as he weather was cooler.

    Today, I must confess to buying some clothes for my holibobs but the money for this will come out of the holiday fund.
