Ok. So I've been chomping at the bit to start making overpayments...so today I paid off £27.44
I put my receipt from yesterday through APG this morning and printed off a £2.24 voucher towards my next shop.
Had an emergency today. DD had chest pain and had to be sent home from work. We had to call 111 and they told her to crunch on aspirin and they sent an ambulance..:eek: paramedics arrived and did various tests and told her that it's anxiety, and whilst it's not nice, it's nothing to worry about-thank goodness. So tonight we have just been chilling.

HI tattyc! Well done on the first overpayment!!
Poor DD I hope she's feeling better. I also suffer from anxiety and would highly recommend yoga. If she doesn't feel up to or have time to go to a class there are plenty of videos on youtube and I found that just 10mins a day was a huge help! Take care x

Thank you try harder. Yes, the hospital thing was very scary.
Fingers crossed we both achieve our targets. I'm sure we will and we can give each other moral support.

So, so far over weekend I have found 20p in a carpark.
Been busy during the week with work and appointments.
Bills account is up and running so I now have to change all direct debits over.
Today is shopping day, still got stuff to do at home and stuff to buy.
No luck with wombling lately.
Just having a cuppa. Then back to the DIY.
