    Hope you had a nice walk.
    Good call on the manual payments - I like to do this as much as possible too because I feel like I have more control, for some reason I find DD's a bit daunting, but obviously I have a few of those too :P

    Love ya loads and you know where I am x

    I did but I've given myself hay fever!!! Now rubbing my eyes like crazy, going to see if I've got any tablets in the bathroom cabinet. I get it when I'm in Kent but don't usually get it up here LOL!

    Glad to hear you make some of your payments manually too & I'm not the only one! All the companies want you to pay by DD don't they? - it's easier when everything is working as it should but I think I'd rather actually physically pay them when I know the money is there. xxx

    Yeh that is exactly how I feel about the payments - probably the control freak in me though ;)

    Sorry about the hayfever, LL is affected today too as seemed to be a lot of people at work but am loving the heatwave :) x

    Good idea re: the manual payments hummingbird, and you're right, it doesn't all have to be done in a day.

    Hope you got a good night's sleep

    Hello there lovely you

    I am coffee card stalking you ;) I have the 2 main chain ones.. but not even a waitflower card :p and I don't use the Star$ one because I am a Coster snob :rotfl:

    I've barely used any of them in a couple of years though down to finance tightening... after doing the MSE calculator to put myself off.. over the time I work I would have paid £10,000 out on coffee... :rotfl:

    I like your summer songs list! Mega :D

    Re: manual payments. Are any of them charging you more for this and have you factored that in to your budget? Also, buy yourself a cheap monthly calendar which you can write the payment dates for each one onto and cross them off as you pay - my MIL does this so she never misses a thing, especially ones that can affect her credit rating :)

    Big hugs! xx
