Got £50 from my family by way of paying back the loan so £40 went to my aqua card, and £10 went into the EF
That + shrapnel from rounding down puts me at £83.74.
£100 is so close! :beer:Aqua 0/1850 Cap.One 0/450 Vanquis 0/500 HSBC 0/100

Hi Guys,

Don't worry about the 'missing' 30p, you know you've got it that's the main thing:T0 -

All appears to be good in the world of money-saving. I remember not so long back all the folks trying to save only to end-up having to spend-out on car repairs and vets bills.
Anyway, car tax paid, mortgage paid, last Council Tax payment until March and work has enough orders to keep us all busy until the end of March 2016 with more jobs being chased. Will be starting to negotiate a permanent contract soon as they hsve the work to justify it.Never Knowingly Understood.
