    Sounds like you are pretty much slaying it :cool:

    Frustrating about the online banking shizzle - I always seem to get in a big mess doing that stuff and getting locked out etc. having to re-set things 400 times before I finally get it sorted :o Hopefully they have an online banking phone number you can give a quick ring to and get them to re-set stuff for you easily and hassle free- lol @ you already cutting up the card and tossing it out.. you're so :money: now darlin:pxx

    Yeah, that wasn't such a bright thing to do really was it! Typical act now, think later MeandO...:o

    It's 2.43am. :( I've been awake an hour or so, can't get back to sleep, but just had a fright after O literally started screaming like a banshee in his sleep. I flew across the landing to his room and he was fine, a bad dream it seemed, poor little thing. :( now I'm back in my bed, heart pounding and shaking from the shock - don't think I've ever moved so fast! Don't think there's much chance of any more sleep for me tonight... :(

    Thanks apple muncher,

    I lay awake for a few hours, think I must've dropped off for a bit around 4.30am, not as tired as I thought I'd be today though.
    So far.

    Just had my budget-friendly, and rather yummy, scrambled eggs on toast for lunch, and donated remainder of my bread to the boss, who gave me 2 packs of super-noodles last week, so a good deal I think lol. Homemade soup lined up for tonight. :)

    Ordered O's free personalised spoon which he's been collecting the tokens for on his cereal packets, he's excited to have his name on his very own breakfast spoon bless him!:D

    Forgot all of the credit card banking online banking stuff, so can't sort that out today. Will have to tackle that tomorrow.

    I've listed a few more bits on gumtree, hopefully they will sell soon, make some space and bring in some extra pennies.

    Looking forward to payday tomorrow and starting YNAB-ing!

    xx

    This new site is making my head hurt, it's awful.

    Just switched energy suppliers - hopefully - fingers crossed it goes through this time.

    Hey MeandO-sorry about the bad night:( Hope you manage to catch up on the kip tonight or if not, that it didn't end up hitting you too hard. Sorry I'm late to the party-had a really stressful day at work and my feet barely touched the ground let alone a lunch break...raaah. But I hope your day went OK all in all and you have a great evening too. Hope Oscar gets his spoon soon - I imagined he had lots of O S C A R things with his crafty mummy being as talented as she is :D! But obvs you can never make anything as cool as a spoon:) I remember as a kid there was nothing more exciting than saving up the coupons on something and then sending away for it & it would always take forever to come! I once saved up for an Andrex puppy soft toy which they gave away the vouchers for on the toilet rolls, I gave my mum such hassle about it she had enough toilet rolls to last about 9 years just so I could collect enough vouchers for the puppy:rotfl:
