    amazing - mananged to get my car insurance down from a quoted £617 to £383 with the same company just by a phone call (and almost an hour on hold but it was 0800 so what the heck!) i'm not very reliable reversing so have had a couple of claims in the last three years, but even so!

    Have just worked out my expenses for May (don't panic - I'm not an MP!) and the good news is they amount to £327! the bad news is i didn't submit them in time so I may have to wait until July to get them, but they'll be a great OP when they come whenever it is! xx

    Been spending a bit of money lately - told to by my counsellor to improve self-esteem, and it's working! Still very much on course with the MFW targets though.
    Planning to go on holiday in August with a girlfriend - looking at maybe Tunisia for a week. Would be great to get away and relax.
    D - Day is next Thursday - decree absolute. DH is no longer in the country.
    Nothing else to report - should know about the final June OP next weekend....hoping for at least anouther £300.

    Good for spending money on yourself, it will do you the world of good. I never think to spend any money on myself, more of a make do person, but the best thing I did was when work was really stressful was I booked a head and back massage once a month for a whole year.

    And the holiday sounds like another fab idea, so get it booked :)

    morning all
    have committed and transferred another £100 today - daren't do more til i know there won't be another solicitor's bill this month. at least that should all be over with after thursday.
    hoping for another cheap shopping week - only need fresh stuff and someting to drink (not alcohol!!) so should be doable - hoping for £15 or under.
    little by little....................

    Well - final line drawn. I am now divorced and that sorry episode is over.
    Major concentration now on MFW - can almost see the end. Still hopeful that another £300 will be available at the end of June and a minimum of £500 in July, but probably more.
    And the sun is shining!
