    Happy New Year diary.

    Well £50 thrown at credit cards today.
    £30 into a savers account doing £365/365 day challenge - just need an emergency fund.

    Snuggled in my bed with 80mph outside, glad off work today. Hope my friends get away without being flooded today, reading their fb statuses last night, counting myself lucky you live on a hill.

    Plan a Sfd, take all decorations down, except main tree and dust(my pet hate)

    Stay safe folks in this weather.

    Well decided to pay another £7 off today this just leaves £40 to clear on my Tesco credit card.

    My other reason nearly got tempted into buying a dress online today in the sales which I don't need. So less money in my bank act less temptation lol.

    Another 20 pounds thrown at Tesco card today. Only Twenty left to pay ;-)

    Problem is I have 5k of debt to swop around by 1st Feb so even if I can find 0% bal tf going to add another 145 pounds to my debt in tf fees.
    May look into loans see if they would work out cheaper.

  • Well you have a bit of time to see what would be the cheapest option.

    I think the 0% might be because you will still have interest on a loan.

    Think I will probably go for the balance tf if I can find one.

    Feeling really down in the dumps tonight, think not 100% healthy yet and just drained from work, starting to get upset now about my daughter leaving end Jan and won't see her for well over a year. Think just horrendous month I have had, has now caught up with my emotions and a Blubbery mess tonight. Would hug the dog but she has rolled in fox !!!!!.

  • Och no wonder you feel that way.

    It always has a habit of hitting you like a brickwall too & always a little bit after the event.

    Chin up Calling.
