    PAD of £42 for me today.


    One of my balance transfer cc is coming towards the end of it's 0% period so I'm back on the merry-go-round of juggling as much as possible to a new deal so that I'm paying debt rather than interest. Not sure if rules have got tighter or my credit rating worse as I seem to be having more trouble than last time being able to transfer enough for a decent period - hmm, might need looking into. Will be so glad when I don't have to do this again. Only plus side is it's motivating me to keep going with siphoning all extras to debt busting in the hope this is the last time I have to go through this.

    Afternoon all! Happy Valentines to the most determined and supportive bunch of people I know!

    £70.19 to MBNA for me today please sunshine....I've got money left in my account and it's payday on Friday - nothing planned in the meantime apart from a gig which is already paid for and I'm designated driver so no drink costs for me :) With that in mind I've decided to throw most of what is left in the account at MBNA today so I don't have the temptation of it sitting there!
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    £5 from me today. I wombled £5 in nectar points yesterday which paid for a packet of nappies so I've taken that amount off the shopping budget.

    2 weeks since my operation today and I'm now feeling a lot better. Still weak but better.

    Jetcat - do you have either Mr T or M B N A cards? Both of them have offered us deals lately.

    Sunshine - hope you last the day with your early risers.

    I don't know if I said here or not. I had an emergency appendix removal after a short illness that seemed like it was food poisoning. Had D&V plus excruciating stomach pain. I thought maybe I'd wrenched my c section scar of 4 months ago but no. If anyone else ever has those symptoms don't do as I did and go to bed for a day!
