MORNING!:D

Ahhhh, the sun is shining and the birds are singing and i see being debt free on the horizon!:D

Just totaled up my remaining debts

Tesco credit card - £0!;)
Barclays credit card - was £739 NOW £239!:D (OH paid me back today)
Northern rock loan £1628:(

So when the next barclays bill comes through i will be able to pay that card off compeltly too! Then it will just be the loan to pay.Which is £116 a month but i will save up to pay it off earlier.:cool:

I cant wait to get these last ones paid off so i can start putting more money towards house depoist!

Lightspeed just paid my paypal account my £15 so just transferred it to my bank. I still cant find anything to list on ebay today! Im going round OH's later to go through all his junk and help him list things!

I thought i post a pic of my sealed pot challenge piggy bank. Its huge! and sooo cute i cant wait to get this bad boy filled up!:D



What do you all think of him?

Off topic but the day after boxing dad my grandad had a heart attack (his had 2 before this many years ago) and i just went to see him obviously his in the old person ward of an NHS hospital. I feel so awful for him his tucked up in the corner, they took his bed away for someone esle at 10am this morning and at 3pm when i was there they still hadnt given him a new bed he has been left in the chair. :mad: I said i would go over see if they have forgotton but he didnt want me to fuss them. His 84 years old but his not fragile like some old people are, and all the others on the ward cant talk and are very old so he has nobody to chat with. he said all through the night the others on ward are shouting and screaming out. I wish i had enough money to pay private for him. As i hate to leave him in there.

This is definalty something im going to consider....paying for private health care.

Right on the money saving note.

I finally decieded what vouchers to order from valued opinons i have ordered £40 in boots vouchers:D As then i wont have to budget for any make up or toiletries for the next few months:D I love survey sites!!! If anyone who is reading this isnt a member of valued opinons or lightspeed, i recommend them! Can save you £££'s!;)

:money:

NSD today as im not going out anywhere. I'm back to work 2morrow :undecided i dont know how im going to get up early in the mornings this week as my body clock at the moment is set on 9am wake up form christmas break!

Well i had £20 on my account and £20 on OH's account. I do all the surveys in OH's account just use his email address and addy account. As he started doing them but got fed up so now i do them and get the vouchers instead!:p

I seem to get loads of surveys from them and OH.

Finally i just called up Egg and closed my Egg card. I only got one out for the cashback form quidco;) havent used it and dont want it mucking up and credit score so cut it up and cancelled it.:D

I may also cancel my Tesco card now thats clear and see if i can get the asda card as with that you save money on petrol at the asda pumps. And thats where i get my petrol from so it would make sense to get one to save money on fuel!

mariagti

Ok, well just looked into the asda credit card and sounds really good. 2p off every litre of fuel at the pumps.( i get my petrol from asda normally with my tecso card) 5% off of george - very handy! ( i buy clothes for me and nephews from there) and you also get points back on anything you buy from any shop which then can be turned into asda shopping vouchers every November. (just in time for christmas!)

So im going to apply for it and use to buy fuel for me and OH (he can give me the cash for his when he buys it, while my card saves him 2p off a litre) and use it when buying my clothes for the 5% off even better when theres sales. Then pay in full at end of each month.:D Also has 0& interest on purchases for 3 months and 9 months for transfers.

Fingers crossed that i get accepted!:o
