    Well, Line of Duty has been watched .... but because HHD reads my diary and hasn't watched this series, I'm not going to say anything about it. ;)

    There is even more exciting news about the CC that I wasn't expecting, but I'll be back tomorrow to talk about that. I'm off to bed now and hoping for a lovely lie-in tomorrow. xx

    Morning Everybody :)

    Day 6/31, Prolific £1.05 cleared, £5.40 pending, Spends 1st-7th May £22

    So, the first good news of the day is that after looking at our finances there's no need to hang on until July to pay the CC off so it will be gone by the end of the week. :j The idea was to pay £120 back into the account every month until I'd repaid what I'd borrowed but the second and best bit of good news is that hubby says there's no need for me to do that. :T So as from next month I will be £120 better off.

    Anybody who reads my diary will know that I'm a woman who needs very little and wants even less. Sometimes I hardly touch my weekly spends so I'm going to carry on putting the £120 to one side and save it. Not really sure what for but at the moment it's just so nice to know the CC has gone :)

    We've no plans for today. Hubby is pottering in his shed and I'm going to do the same around the house. DS is on the Xbox connected up with his friends and when I listen to the amount of laughing coming from his room and the planning they do together to complete a mission it always makes me think it's just the modern way of socialising.

    Hope everybody has a lovely Bank Holiday. Xx

    Thank you WB, LABMUM and Beanie :) It's weird because I'm not that bothered about having the money that it'll save me, I'm just glad I don't have to keep paying the money. I'm definitely glad to see the back of it and its 26% interest rate :eek:

    Don't really know if that makes sense but I know what I mean. xx
