Great to have you back Lucy.
As you have £200 pm 'left over' why dont you arrange to reduce

Hi Lucy, welcome back honey. I've agreed with my BF that he'll buy his family the christmas presents and stick my name on them and I'll buy my lot presents and stick his name on them. Is it worthwhile discussing it with your OH, esp if you are looking at moving in together? Big hugs with depression. I suffer as well. It does get better xx0

Morning guys
Thanks for all your support, I will have a look at the Quidco thread and see if I get any ideas.
I have had 2 more books sell on Amazon so I will update my sig in a moment and I will try to list a few more things over the weekend. I'm not to worried about Christmas pressies for OH's family at the moment, as I have some homemade scarves for his sisters and his parents will come in at £10 each.
My Mum is a tough one, she has really sensitive skin so has to be careful what she uses, I know she wants some new nightwear so will get that for her. And then come up with something else. I'll maybe take her shopping and see if there is anything she would like.
beanielou - I will try that, I guess I can pay £50 into my OD during the bank transfer and then a bit extra off it with whats left at the end of the month. It's interest free until May/June next year so I have some time to get rid of it. I'm not sure what to do with the account then, but I can think about that at the time.
I've just had some fire warden training at work and been shown how to use the extinguisters... We have been setting them off in the car park, such fun!
The depression is getting there, I just need to cut back the need for chocolate. That sounds silly, but because it cheers me up I am eating a lot of it (not good for the diet) although everything is for Children in Need today so doesn't have any calories in it!

Hi and welcome back.
You sound really positive about everything which is a real achievement with your depression.
Sounds like you have got the debt in control as well.
Pigsback is definately still worth looking at for xmas vouchers as they come within a couple of days.
Good luck.Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712
