Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

So I go from steering away from talk talk, to being back onto giving them a try! Aaahh!

Small 33p TT this morning. Just waiting for halifax rewards to be swept up by tesco DD's for my next £15 OP.

WE're a bit tight ( as usual for Jan), payday is 9 days away and we have £65 left, but food and petrol are accounted for so we'll be fine. We have spent about £80 on January birthdays which has created the low bank balance but we having much on anyway so we'll be fine. Actually it's very good January when we OP'd by £600 in December alongside Christmas.

Just lost my post; so shorter version here;

Haven't managed to catch up to date with your diary, and so not at the bit where I have found out Mrs SJ's due date, is it soon?

So off, to relist/list on the bay - hope i'm as lucky as you are as i'm also trying to clear some space, and as you say better in my pocket (mortgage o/p's) than in a black bag.:)

Broadband thoughts and research are just confusing me more and more. So gonna do a web chat with sky on Friday in work, then make a decision on instinct!! Friday is cut off so I don't forget when the whole baby thing happens.

94p TT done with morning cup of tea. Also spotted a major miscalculation to currant account. We've actually got £170 more to last till payday than I thought!

So, figuring I thought we didn't have it I'll OP a bonus £50 to punish myself for the oversight...!

I made an enquiry with Sky on web chat, and as it was only an enquiry was finishing off the chat as I had got the info i needed, they offered me discount after discount so not to finish chat with me.


Just saying.:)

Great knowledge. We only broadband and no intention of TV so not sure if that makes us less appealing for offers
