You'd have thought a bracing walk home from town after dropping off my car at the garage would have woken me up, really. Especially given it's not that warm out there, there's a nip in the wind that really makes itself felt on your nose and hands. Possibly I'm sleepy because I'm now in a warm flat with a purring cat curled up next to me. Or, y'know, the fact I didn't get to sleep until gone 2am :P

Soooo glad I took today off!

Paid in the part of the loan that's for me into the bank today, so that it'll clear. I was hoping I'd not be overdrawn by the time everything's paid but that's not going to happen. Because they've written cheques to both Capital One and Northern Rock for the full amount I owe, I can't do what I planned and trim some cash off both to cover the management fees. I may see if the management company will go with a payment plan, as now that I'm saving £250 a month, it's more feasible.

But the big thing is I won't have Capital One or the mortgage people on my back now, both were starting to really stress me out. So yay for that :)

And now, more Without A Trace! *sighs happily and coils around mug of tea and the purring cat*

A suggestion I've seen a few times is to freeze the credit card in a lump of ice. That way it's there if you need it, but too much hassle to get at for impulse buys. :)

Not so good if you know your credit card details off by heart as I do.

*snickers* Not a bad idea :)

I hate to nag but since you mention money any chance you could sort of the amazon.com vouchers for the House DVDs I brought back from Canada?

I haven't forgotten :) It's on the top of the list of "Things I must do when the cheque clears this week" :)
