Ah I see. Annoying but I guess he will grow out of it then and if you keep instilling it in him that he is not to wake you he may get it eventually. How old is he?

I had a lovely weekend thanks although not as exciting as yours.

I'm genuinely surprised the legoland queues were bad, I though that was a school holiday problem! I hate those queue jumper things, makes the queues longer for everyone else! I'm a fan of Paulton's Park, not part of Merlin and they don't try to bleed you dry. Everyone queues fairly and it all just seems better cared for.
To set foot in Legoland and not spend extra is a feat in itself :rotfl:

Congrats on sticking to budget especially at Legoland. That's some going.

you are right, there was people saying that whilst we were queuing, as the q jumper tickets just walked straight to the front and got put on the rides before the other line. All very privileged ey! lol.

Thanks SavingHolmes, it was actually pretty easy, i had a back pack full of food and drink and just diverted past the shops as best i could, in fact the only thing he asked for was to have a go at throwing the hoop for the teddy thing - at £2 a go he had no chance :rotfl:

So budget has just been re looked at to try and find the money to complete my mission this month. Bare with my ramblings!!!

To be able to pay off CC3 and PayPal I need £398.73 plus my £47 for my minimum payment on my CC. After re doing my budget about 1000 times, i have managed to get it as close as being just £26.44 short. Now i think i can get this from my food budget, but again i have really cut things as tight as i cant get it. My figures also include £25 odd waiting to be released after my pay day. So i think what i will do is pay the credit card off in full on pay day and close that account, and then pay £200 to my pay pal account, then i will pay the remainder £27 odd off the next week when ive managed to skim my food budget again.

Then from next month, im going to only have one creditor left which is my main CC. To tackle this one, i need to be able to build an EF. Im going to allocate £300 per month for the CC then any extra skim from my pots to add as i go, along with the ebay sales, surveys, TCB etc. Im just wondering your thoughts - if i go with the £300 to the CC it will leave £100 per month for the EF, do you think i have this ratio wrong? Remember i havnt used my CC since my lightbulb moment.
