Hi all!!
Well done on all the achievements today... even if only half gets done, it's still brilliant :j and sub 9k is ace, can't wait til i'm there too!

Today I have

• checked my banking (on the landline - still no network :mad: )
• found 20p in an old laptop bag
• only bought three stamps and a bottle of water
• Ate hm chicken curry from yesterday's roast chicken, oh knocked it up last night and it was lush! :A and so much cheaper than a take-away :j:T
• done an e-rewards survey - they convert into virgin atlantic miles so worth doing for my post-debt-free-30th-birthday trip to nyc next spring!
• ridden my bike to work - another 1.60 off next year's tax bill and free exercise

And I will

• check pigsback
• check for mystery shops but am not feeling in the mood to do any lately...

See you guys 2mw!

Okay, an edit to my earlier post ... I told Black Horse they can whistle when they offered me the debt consolidation loan at 19.9% instead of the advertised 6.9%. :eek:

Well, I managed to take mother into town and spent zero! And she got her Boots points put on my card and gave me the £5 skincare voucher :T I looked in the sports shop at shoes, tried on a pair and put them back again lol.

Asda/GE have written to me to confirm my balance is zero and my account is now closed :T also in the post they sent me an application for a credit card :rotfl:

Evening all. Having a bit of a rubbish DFW day today but thought i'd post anyway.

Today I....

woke up in a foul mood and took it out on my 2 babies - I did appologise to DS1 who said in a very adorable way that he loved me anyway even though I shouted a lot this morning :A
Checked online banking
paid an extra £1.93 to NEXT - this will be paid this month
made dinner from mince in the freezer
divid leftovers into little pots for DS2 dinners for rest of week
put a few odds and sods in various tubs (they are getting heavier by the day:T )
paid DS1 nursery trip money - £8 to avoid rushing at end of month to pay it

Thats the good stuff I've done. I've not bothered to mention the heating being on, the washing not hung out, the needless spends at the shops etc....I will do better tomorrow cos the bank is looking very, erm, rubbish

Well done Cleosmum! I got my loan under 9k this month too. I think my DFD is more likely to be Dec 09, but hopefully I can follow your example and get there sooner! By that point, I'd probably sell my lovely OH for a few more months off haha.
