    Eternal optimist, well done on the large payment, like i you said any extra that helps clear the debt is great.

    Jenjade, congrats on the no spend day, i wish i had more of those!!

    Headoutthesand, know what you mean about the number of people on here who study with the O.U, its certainly most of us regulars! I have finished my assignment so am now enjoying a relaxing evening doing whatever i want!

    Evening folks. It is a beautiful evening here and not too hot!

    Feeling yuck today (and yesterday) but that is good for the wallet! Today I have:

    -Returned items to two shops for refunds on things I have changed my mind about (in the past I have been appalling at just shoving things in the bottom of the wardrobe)
    -Washed at 30 and line dried
    -Soup from the fridge for tea (didn't fancy anything so figured I might as well eat something cheap I don't fancy)
    -Done Pigsback and Onepoll
    -Bought two books from charity shop for 75p

    Need to crack on with the ironing in a bit but trying to muster the energy:tongue:

    Hi everyone, I have today
    - got a free lunch at work, some stuff left over and would have gone to waste
    - just phoned tax credits, was wuite impressed at first, over £100 a month more, but then I have dearer childcare at the moment so probably not better off (will need to work revised budget this week)
    - went for a walk with baby in pushchair - free fresh air and exercise
    - need to think about shopping round for insurances this week, think they renew soon, wont get time to do thsi today though
    - tax credits said I am getting a one off payment tomorrow, might send this straight to virgin card, will be £256
    - I owe a solicitors firm some money, after they made a mistake, I think they will agree to pay half, waiting for them to phone me back

  • Well done everyone :T
    hope you feel better tomorrow cleosmum x

    Today I have
    • had a minor scene in sainsburys because they wouldn't deduct my 38p discount on 2 packs of pitta... escalation to manager and even the security guard backed me up, quite embarrassing but I wasn't backing down :o
    • had a stiff drink to recover
    • also rode my bike and took lunch in (bacon avocado and grated cheddar is the most perfect sandwich filling if you're not kosher/veggie/both)
    • gave up pepsi max (none today :eek: gimme gimme)
    • checked internet banking
    that's all!

    Really confused now! Just redone my snowball, double checked amounts twice, and its still saying my total debt is £8770 when its £8944 according my spreadsheet (took the figures from spreadsheet too) :confused: Its also decided my debt free date is now oct 09.

    EDIT Oh grr stupid glitchy site, its randomly blanked 1 item and added it as zero, nothing but problems on that site lately.
