    Woo hoo well done sarah :j
    Just gotta stop myself peeking at eBay now.... I'm sure I jinx it!

    Had a great day yesterday, chased Charlie round the car park with Connor on his new trike, exercised the dog and kept Connor entertained!

    Also took the ball pit that Daddy put up in the living room, out into the garden and put ome water in it.... Connor thought it was hysterical, and after I spent the last few days trying to teach Charlie not to eat the balls, Connor then spent the afternoon feeding them to him!

    Arrghh! I am so close to being sub £3k that it hurts! I wish it would hurry up and be next Friday so I can pay some more off!!!! Oh has to give me £150 for his CC balance plus £60 for the tv.... thankfully the CC2 balance is 0% for 7 months (thanks you Egg anniversary deal!) and the little one is nearly paid - I will be able to clear that next Friday :D

    THEN I want it to hurry up and be the 1st, as thats when the loan payment comes out, and that will take it to £893 :D:D 4 payments left, and counting!!!!
    Total debt will then be about £2700 :T and thats without any extras like eBaying etc.

    In other, more annoying news, OH re-ordered his CC last night as he wants to buy some clothes etc...... I have told him that is fine, but he has to take responsibilty for paying it. He is still under the impression that as Under 30's we should have lots of debt :confused: :eek: :mad: He really doesn't have a clue does he!?! The tv balance and his previous CC balance are all on my 0% card, and I'll continue to take the payments for that each pay day, that way he can't spend the money before hand.....
    Oh and I might not have mentioned to him that I reduced his limit from £1250 to £500..... I am gonna be in SOOOO much trouble if he finds out he he he:beer:

    No worries, hope you didn't mind me starting the thread.....?:o

    I suspect OH will finsd out fairly soon about the limit drop, because he's gone on a spending rampage already..... but this time I'm not even gonna bother looking at how much....

    Should be sub £3k some time next week, pay day on Friday, and the CC payments normally clear by Mon or Tues :T

    Just transferred £33 from my Paypal acc for some ebay stuff, so will pay that off the CC in a minute....

    Got a sharesave thing through the post this morning, in 2003 I was given 49 shares, and today I can sell them for £190.47..... I could have kept them and sold them at a later date, but decided to take the money, and treat myself........ to a wii and wii fit :T :eek: :D :j :beer: I have a wii reserved at work, and a wii fit on Friday hopefully (just gotta wait and see if the girl who reserved it will actually buy it, its been 'put by' for three weeks now!) I've been umming and aahing for ages, and the sharesave money finally tipped me over the edge :D I will have to put it on my CC, but I will borrow the money from the deposit account until the shares money comes - I'm so excited :D

    Need to re-work my budget sheet, as for some reason, its not adding up..... the numbers all look right, but it's showing me as being £300 short next month :eek: :eek: :eek:

    OMG yes!!! It is fantastic.... I haven't had much time to play properly, but what I have played I absolutely LOVED!!
    I am working late tomorrow, so I'm gonna try and get some serious Wii time in before work (quite early tho so I can have a little sleep before work :o )
