  • I went to work. Plain and simple as that. I felt like S***, had only 3 or 4 hours sleep but I made myself go. I will sleep tonight with a clear conciensce safe in the knowledge that I didn't miss my work through a 2 day hangover.

    I saved another 6 £2 coins as well.

    I spent more time on internet banking lol. I have a couple of debtors that refuse to accept any kind of sensible payment plan, so I have set up standing orders for a quid each to them, they will have to like it or lump it. Changed my spreadsheet to reflect what I am doing. Checked my saved snowball so that I know how much needs to be paid in april.

    Also found an email from rpoints, turns out I joined them back in 2004! So I have been signing up to a few things on there.

    If I keep doing stuff my little nagging voice will have to shut up sooner or later!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I've had a no spend day and I also contacted energy provider and got a discount on my electricity thanks to the great people who post on here. :j

    Cooked soup in the slow cooker and that will last us for a day or two and also made scones/muffins to have with it.

    Working my way through the cupboards and freezer before I buy anything at the shops. Applied for a 0% card that is for 15 months so I hope that I get it, otherwise I'll just have to sort things out sooner.
