    Having a bit of a down day. Not sure whats wrong with me, so I decided to 'treat' myself in a MSE way!

    I love Boden, and I had a £15 voucher for Boden that they sent in the post, expiring tomorrow, so I thought I would see what I could find for £15 (no spend limit!? Unusual, but not complaining!)

    Found a top I had been admiring for £21 plus delivery, found a free delivery code, and I have £31.20 credit from a return, so, cute top for just £6 of my account credit, so, in my eyes, free top!

    Got it in the pink and navy/purple colourway :)

    Hi all.
    I thought this month was going quite well and was on target to make my goal of having paid 50% by the end of this month but a cheque from ages ago which I had forgotten about has just been debited from my account.
    It didn't make me go overdrawn but has only left me with £10 until pay day which is still 10 days away.
    I don't think I can live on a pound a day so my credit card debt will start to increase again :-(
    I hope that I will be able to pay off any extra credit when pay day comes because I am owed a bit of back pay.
    I booked a last minute holiday for easter weekend yesterday. I know I shouldn't have and kept the money for the debt, and if I had remembered about the cheque then I probably wouldn't have done it. But I am really looking forward to a few days away and a chance to rest and relax. The trip cost £180 so it could have been worse. .

    £20 tax refund today, I'm rich! haha :D

    Really wary of paying anything off until after May 8th (car insurance date...) so I think I will be quiet on the payment front unless I KNOW I am still a bit over that debit.
