No more slip ups now ladies we need to crack on and get ourselves sorted.

Maybe we should start a thread about why we want to be debt free and all the positive things we will be able to do when we are.

Ok Ill go first

1) I want to be financially independent
2) I want to take my DD to Disneyland
3) I want to live for the day not payday to payday :rotfl:

Afternoon all! How's everyone doing now that we've had another payday?

TMD - happy belated birthday. 40's the new 30, didn't you know?

Doodledoo - impressive total there!

CMD - I share your holiday cravings. I'm thinking of putting all my dooyoo money towards a holiday for me and OH so I get it free - or at least money neutral. Only prob is, I'm thinking New York (we've never been to America), so would have to review everything I own. How's the walking going by the way? I've lost a bit of weight this month - have walked about 100 miles in Feb (according to my trusty pedometer). Not bursting out of my work trousers any more at least .

CAFC - Rome? Alright for some. How did your MSE spending go? And where's that whip? Let's get cracking and get motivated - it's a new month, nearly a new season and I've heard paper hats are going to be essential wear this summer :rotfl:.

*skips off to update paper hat challenge total*

Hiya,

Walking is not going as well as it should but I have just purchased the ministry of sound workout so will be doing that from this week onwards. Wow 100 miles in a month. That is a fantastic achievement. well done!

1) to be out of debt within 2 years so DH and I can try again with starting a family...
2) I want to be out of debt so that I can invest in furthering my education
3) I want to be able to start saving for our future when we're retired
4) I want to be enjoying life and capitalising on the opportunities put before us without having to check numbers!

Count me in - I am a dab hand (well, passable) with a paintbrush

(and my dad is a painter and decorator so very handy to call for those things that crop up that you don't know what do do about)

Yeah, count me in too. Am rubbish at painting walls but great at painting and varnishing skirting boards. Also doing a design course so if you need a hand with that am happy to lend it!

see doodles....... you're so ruddy marvellous we'd be honoured to come and paint your house.....

clearmydebts · 1 March 2009 at 8:48PM

I want to be out of debt

1. To buy a house
2. Start a family
3. Save some money
4. Enjoy my wages every month rather than worry about how will they will last
5. More travel

And mine..

1) I want to be debt free by April 2010
2) I want to really think about what I want from my career without having to worry about whether the salary will pay the debts
3) I want to be able to enjoy life without worrying about money - I will either have it or not have it, I won't be worrying about what impact things have on me clearing my debts
4) I want to have savings that would allow me to live for 6 months without work if I need to
5) I want to be able to be spontaneous again

1] I want to be debt free by this time next year so i can enjoy my pay packet at the end of the week,

2] I want to fulfill my daughters dream of a shopping weekend in new york,

2] to be able to save a little bit each week.

Awww its really motivational reading all those isnt it and to think that all those dreams are within reach with some hard work and determination.

Your offers of help have touched me. I loves ya all

CAFCGirl · 2 March 2009 at 8:01PM

our offers do, however, come with conditions.....

namely something fizzy.... you know how we like our bubbles!

so much so i have a glass of Dr Pepper on the go as we speak.
Had a good day, and thoroughly enjoyed work, got some role plays tomorrow which i dont really enjoy but its only with a group of 4 so should be fine!
i feel relatively confident with it so will see how i go. would love to nail it....

Had another treatment as well this afternoon, which instantly made my toothache disappear..... top stuff!

AND!!!!!
Apparently old job will be transferring my redundancy pay this week! YAY!!!
