Keep calm and carry on....

Great news on the tax rebate but not so good on being exposed to Covid. Do you have to  get tested or just isolate?

Just isolate for now, I only need a test if I develop symptoms. Nothing so far, so finding the silver lining that I live alone and can save some petrol money (and BF can bring me food - although still miffed he won't take my Nectar card, as I've got loads of points to claim!)

Oh dear.  Sounds like he needs retraining

I think it must be a man thing.  It is getting a little embarrassing going into Tesco & getting the points added when the BF has done some shopping & now even my son (who is normally quite well trained) has managed to unlink his mobile from my clubcard.  But this doesn't credit you with the new clubcard prices.  Currently £1 off a bottle of whisky.  I think it is the blank "what does it matter" look which is so irritating.

I think it's more that he wants the points for himself 🤣! Or he will forget and use his own card by accident, thereby incurring my wrath that I've had to pay the full amount. Actually, that's probably the more likely scenario - he's just making a stand now so he doesn't get into trouble later 🤣! Ah well, it will be good for the November free money totals anyway 😀

£700 OP made 😀😀😀!

This will reduce the balance by £679, so I've also moved £68 out of each of the 10% pots into the current OP pot as it means the balance will be lower at that point, so the 10% I can OP fee-free at that point will be lower, so I may as well OP it in the here and now (think I've worked that out right 🤔🤣)

Paying the mortgage off will be good for stopping my brain hurting I think, just putting everything into savings will be much more straightforward!

Firstly I hope it's just boring isolation.
Secondly, big yay! on the OP front and the 10% hokey cokey planning!
I'm sure BF will eventually be properly trained, either through osmosis or an MSE Voodoo doll 😆

Thanks Grogged 😀 I think BF actually is learning, it's just a very slow process.... (only been 7 years so far 🙄) He told me recently that he's set me up a standing order to clear the balance of his 0% card by the time the rate ends - I nearly fell off my chair!

Sorry to hear that you've had to self isolate, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Incredible overpayment! But I am sort of on your BF's side of things, I'll collect points if I remember...

How is your leg now?

South_coast

Leg is fine, thank you 😀 Need to start doing some exercise again really. My scales have come out in sympathy and drained the battery so I've not been able to weigh myself for a good few weeks, but I'm not sure ignorance is bliss in this regard!
