Love the videos. I can't believe she can put the dvds in properly at her age, bright girl. I remember my niece putting the letters that the postman had delivered into the video recorder. :eek:0

Morning all..
and.. HAPPY FIRST PAYDAY! Wooooo! After totting up the bills have been able to move £100.87 to the savings account :T Hopefully we'll have some left over after the car tax and MOT! Have been thinking though and I think we'll only get 6 months car tax, and then get a year when it's next up so it stops it all being due at the same time!! lol
Not sure what's up with K but she's really going off her milk. She's probably had about 8oz in the last 24 hoursShe's eating her solids fine but doesn't want milk or water...she's not even 6 months yet! Babies... who'd have them. lol

Forgot the mention the new 'problem' that Ste and I have. :rotfl: Basically because we were originally planning to but the balance of a drum kit on Ste's citi he ordered a new card which arrived yesterday. TROUBLE IS... Ste now keeps spotting things that he could buy with his now available credit of £1,500.... :rolleyes: This list is endless... black elite xbox 360, ps3, Wii, double pedal set up, all manner of upgrades for the kit....... :eek:
Luckily he saw sense and gave ME his card because he knows his life wouldn't be worth living lol.
I have promised him one thing though... THIS is going to happen to his card if he keeps window shopping for stuff he could get on his card....Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

Excuse random workings out...
MOT £33.74 (inc AA discount)
6 months car tax - £77 :mad:
Full Service £110.49 Inc discount
= £221.23 min for everything
Savings..
£154.17
£12 x 5 weeks (tc) £60
£120.80 cb
= £334.97 (by end of Aug)
-£221.23 = £113.74 buffer. :undecided:
Fingers crossed for the MOT! If all is well we can either put the £113 towards barclaycard or towards the blackpool meet.... hmmmmmm. :think:Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043
