  • Hi everyone :D
    I'm surprised how much my mood has lifted now that I've finished work for the week. I think that says quite a bit about where the main stress in my life is at the moment.
    Congrats on the job Pace

    [STRIKE]:undecided Check banking and PAD[/STRIKE]:eek:
    [STRIKE]:undecided NSD[/STRIKE]

    Thanks, Bob. I don't really know. Obviously I want to stay out of debt, that's the main thing. OH and I need to have a conference to decide. ;)

  • Hello everyone, welcome Make the Change
    Well done on the new job Pace and the promotion Chocolate
    Hugs to everyone not feeling 100%

    I've been busy the last couple of days so haven't posted. I realise it is technically Saturday!

    I slept in on Thursday so ended up not doing my extra hours. I then had to get dog food and a birthday present for a friend so it was a bit of a write-off of a day!

    Friday wasn't a NSD either as I picked up sour cream and some pudding on the way home from work. I also bought wedding shoes!!! A complete bargain reduced from £60 to £17.70 on the Monsoon website. I just hope they are nice/ fit. This has saved some money from the wedding budget so I've updated my spreadsheet/ signature accordingly
    I picked up and wrote out RSVPs on Thursday so those went in the post today and were handed out at work. One person can't come as they have another wedding the same day as ours which is a shame. We have saved on stamps be hand-delivering the ones we can
    All meals from stores today bar the sour cream and pudding
    I did 2 hours overtime at work and will do 2 hours later today so I've done my maximum allowance of 10 for the week and won't miss out on the extra cash

    I'll be back later with the list for today. I am wide awake and have no idea why!
    02 0% £719.20 £649.26
    Creation 1 0% £1,829.88 £1,533.78
    Creation 2 0% £604.80 £604.80
    Car Finance £10,326.74 £4,290.96

    Total £13,480.62 £7,078.80 47% PAID

    Mortgage £128,560 £115,633.35
    Long-Term Savings Pot £0
