    That cold’s a real downer isn’t it Cumbria. Hope next week sees you shaking it once and for all.

    Thought up any ideas yet to shift the CC debt?

    Sorry you are still poorly.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    I have finally done my transfers to different pots . I have thought of paying my CC2 with my savings , but have decided to just carry on paying my £50 payment and any extra I make on PA and Ebay towards it.

    It’s 0% until April 2019 , so no rush, I am just impatient.

    Doctors again this afternoon , the less said the better !

    Not a NSD , £17.20 on antibiotics and steroids ! £1.10 on cup a soups because it’s all I want to eat. £1 on a bar of chocolate.

    I have heeded the doctors advice and am staying away from work this week. I will deal with the consequences of that when I return.

    Will be climbing the walls by Wednesday night ! I hate not being at work and the thought of someone else messing up my systems . Will have to grin and bear it.

  • Well done on your debt total :T.

    Sorry you're ill again, what a time you're having :(.

    I've joined the National Trust too recently, I'm looking forward to going to all the amazing places in Devon, especially Agatha Christie's summer home Greenway :j. I bet there's loads of great places near you too :).

    Greenway is on my list as well as never visited before and now I am retired I have rejoined the National Trust. Coleton Fishacre is one of my favourites which is quite near Greenway too.
