    Evening Midnight

    Its horrible when your plans get messed up isn't it, sounds like you have got things organised though, hopefully you can make a bit up with the ebay/boot sales. Not having to buy food will save you a good bit too :T

    Fingers crossed for the weather for you. [URL="javascript:emoticon(':crossfingers:')"]crossfingers.gif[/URL]

    You may find going through your figures you can save a bit more. Its mad, but writing it down and endlessly going through my figures and snowballing, even if it never changes stops me worrying.

  • Thanks for that Zippy. You're right, going over the figures and snowballing does help strangely enough, and providing nothing else goes wrong or suddenly sneaks up on me, we should get through this month okay.

    It's just tiring though - think I need a holiday - quite fancy Florida for a couple of weeks but the computer says noooooo
    Debt £171000 - Current Debt £168883
    Between Oct 08 and Apr 09 Pay off £12k = £2117/£12000
    £2 Savings Pot = £8

    I know and everyone keeps asking me...are you going away...and I feel I have to give them an excuse why we are not off somewhere warm and wonderful

    We can dream though can't we :)

    Well, as far as I'm aware dreaming doesn't cost anything - just as well cos I haven't budgeted for it :rotfl:

    The other bonus is you can go somewhere different to the OH and kids :D
  • Ooh, I like the sound of that....and just think of all that virtual money we could spend just on ourselves....mmm, very tempting!!

    Well, have another early start tomorrow - this secondment thing is set to go on for another week at least (sooo fed up with it now) - and the car is still acting up a wee bit, and I'm planning to set off a bit earlier so I don't have to push it to get there on time.

    Speak to you tomorrow?

    Nite nite
