  • we have loads of firefighter related stuff around the house because of hubby's job-I guess people think he doesn't see enough of them at work?
    hey.. I'd quite happily deal with a few fireengine money boxes and things if I got to live with this...

    Morning all!

    I'd love to say today was an NSD, but I'm seeing a young lady later, so a few lemonades will be in order (literally)

    Other than that, I'm dandy!

    I've had some quidco money too - £21.82, been sending off a few enquiries as a few things haven't been tracking.

    Had some good news yesterday, I'll be getting an extra one-off £1500 payment from work on an annual basis due to extra duties I do (that I have been doing for nothing up until now). Hopefully I'll get this at the end of next month and it will go straight on debt repayments:j .

    Other good thing today, I registered us with our local dentist , that we were with 4 years ago before we moved away. We are on their NHS list:T so it will be free care for the kids and low-ish payments for me.

    I also picked up my graduation photos - not so good, I look a bit gormless and over-happy:rolleyes:

    Fantastic news on on the payment, will take a nice chunk off your debts.

    NHS dentists are definately the way to go, I was being charged a fortune privately but recently moved.

    I had some work done and because they can only charge once if its classed as ongoing treatment, I went 4 times and it only cost me £17 :j was costing me double that just for a check up at my private clinic.

    Morning everyone!
    Today is a good day - OH has a £300 tax rebate in his pay (hurrah!) and it's our 3 year anniversary this weekend (together, we're not married). Hurrah! We're celebrating all MSE, have cashed in 500 Nectar points for a BOGOF Pizza Express main course, and if we go anywhere this weekend it'll be to the London Aquarium (where we had one of our first dates) as that's BOGOF with the Oyster card too. Think we'll stay close to home though, there's a French market on at the end of our road all weekend - may just stay in and sniff the brie ;)

    Wish it was hometime. Or lunchtime, am hungry. x
