Well done Bob

It ended up being a LSD today for me as I spent a grand total of 70p on some painkillers!

I've also updated my signature to help with my savings goals. The wedding is in September next year and will become the focus of my money saving efforts after my DFD in March. I'm hoping to open a Help to Buy ISA after the wedding so then the mortgage deposit will be my goal. I find it helpful to see how much is in each pot in percentage terms - I was pleasantly surprised at how much was in the wedding pot, we have a horrible spreadsheet with everything itemised and it's been giving me nightmares! The mortgage pot is a bit pitiful at present but I once thought I'd never be out of debt and I'm nearly there!

Night all

Hi everyone
I look awful apparently. People have gone out of their way to tell me how tired I look. I was ready to sleep at 8pm but here I am still up and about. Full details are going into my diary - no need to bore you all with my stuff on here. I'm just updating here and there, then off to sleep I hope.:p

Foxgloves - I did a double take for a minute when you said about Cat headbutting the phone, till I realised you were not referring to our own Cat lol, you know when you've spent too much time on the forums when these things happen. I am very envious of you doing your whole Christmas shop in nectar points.

Our credit card bill came today and shows we've reduced the balance by £389 including the min payment this month which I am really happy about. :T:T:T:T
