Glad you got the electric sorted. Well done on getting up to date with the bills, will they go down at some stage to free up a bit of extra cash?

Hope you have a decent weekend despite the weather xx

Good morning

Bank Balance £0.22 - bus fare for the older two to my appointment £3.

It's still raining :cool: The smalls are not impressed at all.

No plans today just my appointment to get too. Need to contact relative and turn down invite too.

Thank you for all stopping in x

SA my council tax will go down by around £10 once I hear back from them and once I'm debt free there will be that too although that's quite a while away yet.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend - and better weather than we do!

Sounds like you are so organised and doing amazing. Hope the burns are healing. We have decided to do only free things at weekends due to a bit of an impuse/emotional buy that I made that has thrown us off track. So we are with you in spirit!

Today we baked and walked before the rain came back. Now we are movie watching and eating the baking!!! Simple things are the best x

Hi Wannabe,


I've not been around much the past few days. I'm horrified about the electricity problems - I don't blame you moving to a more helpful company. Is having a meter still the best option for you or could you move to billing monthly or whatever if that might help you avoid such issues in the future?


I hope your hand is healing and best of luck with everything else. x

Hi WB Glad you're going to get your hand sorted out.

Blimey, I've heard of last minute invites but never one to a wedding with only 48 hours notice :eek::rotfl:

I think you and everybody else will be staying indoors today if they can. Weather is blooming awful. xx

Afternoon

Burns are healing okay.

PB I can't switch to pay monthly as I've previously had a huge debt I don't think so anyway.

The wedding invite has been declined and we where 'fillers' for the spaces where people have dropped out :rotfl:

Flipping heck. How come you didn't get an invite in the first place but considered good enough as fillers. It's only one step up from sending you a doggy bag with the food in :mad::mad:

Perhaps not as you will have paid off the debt and will have rehabilitated your overall credit score a lot by paying off so much of your other debts. Might it be worth just asking your current provider? Also, it might not be a bad idea to check your credit rating. Have you joined MSE Credit Club? It's free and would give you an idea of where you are up to.
