    Morning all, 

    Just a little update on my payment offer to 118, I offered £900 settlement they said no, the most they can do it 25% off which is about £1450 roughly. Annoyingly I can't afford to pay that in one go. So going to try and get them down a bit more.

    Evening all :)
    Work today, and not much else done tbh:
    Dog walk
    Checked banks and noted what was paid out, most of the bills came out today.
    Bit of shopping in Mr S after work (the bits that Icyland didn't stock). Used up some nect*r points, so only a small spend of £11.19
    Collected prescription while I was out
    Also dropped off an Amaz*n return at the collection point
    OH found some euros in one of his old wallets, so I changed them into sterling - £76.64 that I didn't know we had, so that was a nice surprise today :) They must have been there for ages, as neither of us has been abroad for several years.
    All food was from home.
