I'm not very good at keeping my diary focused on money am I ? :rotfl:

I am a naughty pickle :rotfl:

I gets distracted I just end up nattering

But I was really good on Sunday. I sorted my finance folder out :T all my paperwork is neat and tidy and in order.
And I have sorted every penny owed and when 0% ends on ccs :T

I had to buy a plastic petrol cap last night 4.99 coz my car key got stuck in the petrol cap its still in there. We had to walk home and get the spare key
The nice man at the garage and several customers tried getting it out but it wouldn't budge. They said a spring has gone in it. Good job I had a spare :T

Miss pickle have you tried a squirt of WD 40 to release the key?

Mbna is doing a low percent for life of the debt when my mbna 0% runs out.

I manage my payments well. I always pay more than the minimum and I've never missed a payment on them so can I have a little pat on the back for that please peeps pretty please

Yes the men did that last night about half a can :eek:
Then some nice lady offered me her washing up liquid that she had just bought :rotfl: the key has movement so they think its a spring gonna pop it into the garage later. God knows how much that will cost _pale_

And my tumble drier broke over the weekend

I'm not replacing the tumble drier which will save me money in the long run.
I will pick a blowy devonshire day to wash the sheets and finish them on the rads. The rest can go on the airer in front of the rads.
We have a launderette in town if I get really stuck. Will cost a few quid but would get a fair bit dried for that and it would only be once in a blue moon. If I keep on top of it and wash every other day I will be able to use the rads. I'd have to have the rads on anyhow in the cold
Before we know it it'll be spring :T

I need to do my budget now how dull :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Be back later peeps :wave:

Loving all my new friends

Is it too early to say :xmassign: I wanted to be the first :j

Can't wait to put my tree up:xmastree:
