Definitely quicker - though ours is 4 miles/15 mins across town, I can still do there, back and the shop within 45 minutes. L!dl is 2 mins down the road, I need to try it out
Can't wait until my daily interest is as good as yours. Am almost double on £11.82, was £13.44 :eek:. I imagine me dropping a tenner and £1 coin down the drain each day...Back on the DFW Wagon:
CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/181 -
Phoned Bradford and bingley to get them to send me a mortgage statement for my buy to let house. Should take 5 working days. So probably won't have it for my appointment with broker on Tues, but will have it shortly after. Looking forward to reading it.
Forgot to ask what my current balance is duh - will work it out over weekend shouldn't be hard as it was 25 yr mortgage repayment buyt I haven't opd it.HOME

Well done on getting your daily interest hammered down from £25.70 - that's amazing.
Good luck on the weight loss too.

I need to try lidl, there is one the other side of Leeds. Until recently we didn't have an aldi near us either, but one opened near where I teach, so I'm currently converted.HOME

I've become a bit socia phobic since the ex left, well I think it probably started before that really. Since having the children. Although I do have a nice circle of mum friends for play dates, I'm very rarely invited out on an evening. Anyhow there's two teachers moving to early years and they invited me out last night. There ended up being 6 of us from school we just went to a bar til 12.30 but it was lovely. We've arranged a lunch date next week as well, so really looking forward to that.HOME
