  • Hi all :j

    Had a great MSE day today....

    I made home made quorn cottage pie and chocolate cake with store cupboard ingredients, bought some lovely reduced birthday presents for my father in law and brother, and put £2 in my terramundi.

    I also went through all of my paperwork and worked out a great budget that allows me to pay off £630 of debt this month!!

    How are you all? :D

    cold! lol, thats an awesome task MrsDoyle, well done! I managed to get the tickets for my ice skating date for free today. Pretty DFW i think ,just dont tell the blonde i'm taking!!!! lol

    omg £630 how are you going to manage that???

    im just paying all the3 bills as normal, my husband has temporarily abandoned the driving lessons (he failed on dec 19th) and ive set a super strict food budget (which is where i usually spend any extra cash! :o this is of course on the provision that no big expenses come in (like usual!)

    anyway, the 630 is made up of loan repayments (93), credit card payments (65), money owed to parents (70), laptop finance (18) and paying off some of my overdraft (£380)

    to be honest i cant quite believe it :grin:
    Back and ready to save some money! :D
  • ooops that should just say paying the bills...i wish there were only 3!!
