    I hope you have a fab holiday and that your refund comes through soon!

    I am sure your debt free date will be along shortly especially if you are brave enough to join the £10 a day challenge!

  • Morning guys... internet cafe mailing!

    How is everyone? I'm good.. not much to report I'm afraid, but I'm feeling pretty good about my finances etc and looking forward to It Pays to Watch next week and my holiday with my mum...

    Got my first and second £2 coins for the £2 savers club too which is great!

    Have a great weekend guys,

  • Well, nothing to report this morning...

    ...other than that, very sad morning... I took Mr Pickle to the airport this morning. He'll be gone for 7 weeks and 3 days.
    The longest we've ever spent apart. I'm going to miss him so much... :(

    Looking forward to getting away from London on Thursday. I hope it will take my mind off the Mr Pickle shaped hole...

    ho hum..... roll on the end of March.... :(

    oh babes, poor you, but look at it this way....

    a few weeks ago you were expecting a Mr Pickle shaped hole in your life forever, so 7 weeks shouldn't be so bad.

    And in this internet-skype-msn-email enabled world, you'll probably find you hear from him every day!!!

    Chin up chicken!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Morning….quick update…

    Still no refund for flights yet
    Redeemed £10 boots voucher from Pigsback
    I have a cold and a cough (thanks to Mr Pickle – lets call it a leaving present!)
    £6 in total for £2 savers club
    46 days until Mr Pickle comes home
    Today is my last day at work (holiday for a week tomorrow)
    Going to see Martin & Co at It Pays To Watch tomorrow…

    I want a cuddle! Feeling lousy! That’s it… I’m going to make a coffee.
  • had my fab holiday with mum...

    had a chat about NZ.

    it went like this... I can't believe I'm missing 2 weddings and not seeing Mr Pickle for 7 weeks...

    she said
    'then why are you'?
    ''You've got your refund on your credit card (it came through in the end)... so you've got the money.
    ALI JUST BLINKING DO IT!!!!! You'll regret it forever if you don't!''

    So that's just what I did this morning... my mum rocks... I'll be skint forever now, but my mum rocks!

    ciao for now!!!
    :D
