Dishes will have to sit there a bit longer then.

Can someone please pass the vodka? My brain hurts and I want to numb it. :o I've found some places where I can cut costs, I'm not even going to attempt to shop around for car insurance for OH (I'll do it tonight with him :rolleyes: ) but I've just added up how much a month we're spending on interest just on the credit cards and how much we're repaying and it's pathetic, the interest is more than what we're paying off the debts (as in add the interest up take that off the payments we're making and you're left with a smaller number than you took off :eek: ).

Our monthly outgoings are £628.85 ATM and thats WITHOUT debt repayments :eek: Oh and thats just out of MY account, thats not including OH's mobile phone bill or petrol which comes out of his account. It also doesn't include grocery shopping, my mobile bill (which is PAYG and varies as I top up with £10 when I'm down to £2 credit which is cheaper than a bundle) or replacement clothes/shoes or household things like the new hoover I had to buy yesterday or gifts :mad: Is there anywonder we're £7000+ in debt?

Right, I need a break, number crunching is hurting my head. I have 10 minutes before I need to leave to pick DD up.... dishes away, S&S kitchen worktops again, maybe do some dishes :wave:

Lucky you sis! My pauls mortgage payment alone is £660 a month! :eek: So count yourself lucky!!!

nicki - have you thought about 02 simplicity? i now get 400 cross network anytime minutes and 1000 texts for £20 a month, and there are cheaper deals too. i've found it cheaper than payg actually and it's a month by month thing so no tie-in.

:coffee: time!!!!!!

Been a media !!!!!, then went to asda (must admit, going to asda was more fun), unpacked, collected grots, threatened them into silence (you are not going swimming till I get my coffee, I can't get my coffee if your noisy), hoovered, very very quick tidy up done.

So, :coffee: while wrapping up a gift, then grots to swimming at 4.30pm, then over to my mates for 6pm (ish) for a wee get together for her LO's 1st birthday (hence the gift).

Think mate will be told, oh we will be over for 5.... no point coming back home... hmmmm may take them to Burger[STRIKE]vomit[/STRIKE]King.

Either way need to get the swimming out the way first.

Oh and I am not even going to LOOK at our outgoings right now, way too high!:eek:

clean out that airing cupboard!!!!!! Don't have one!! Had it knocked down in the summer so that DS has more room in his "play room"

Also done the dishes and hoovered through all downstairs. Washing in on on radiators to finish off.

Going to make me a drink and get ready to watch "deal or no deal". I've become really addicted to that programme since I've been off work, I'm really going to miss it when I go back!!
