The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 3!!!

J-M a month's work is good news, well done you two :T It may lead to more work and will certainly add to his experience. Maybe you should open up your own job centre with resuts like that

Ahh ty all, good news is that I got straight on the Internet and sent some applications off on the email, he got a phone call 20 mins later from one sending him down the road for an interview :eek: and they offered him the position! Only a months work but gives me time to apply for more jobs while he still works. I think I take the prize for jammiest person of the day don't I? :rotfl:

Well done J-M, you never know it might turn out to be a longer contract. They must have been impressed to offer him the job so quickly.

Jakes-mum i was about to post how sorry I was to hear about hubby's job but then I read your other post so well done. Can't believe you got him a job so fast (don't want to help me do you?????)

I was just thinking I should make a career out of finding people work, I seem to be quite good at it :rotfl:. He doesnt even have to fill out application forms or send CV's, no wonder he sticks with me :rotfl:.

Ty for the congrats everyone, he's really chuffed, its covering the paternity leave of another worker so he doesnt think it will be longer than 4 weeks, but still a jobs a job and we wont say no to that

In honour of said new job I have been down the bank and paid £500 :eek: to DH's CC so new total isssssssssssssssss:

#16 £5091.89/£8806.89 57.82% :D:D:D:D:D

oh and DH said I had to have a present for being so fab (ok it was already something we were going to buy me before the redundancy/job thing and we had the money to one side, but he knew if he didnt take me I would say we had to save it just incase ) so im now the proud owner of a shiny new Ipad 2 :eek:. Totally frivolous spend but according to DH 'ive waited long enough and ive earnt it'

How lovely of him to get you a present. Especially one as fab as that. One word of warning though- hide it from the kids!!!!!

If you do decide to make a career out of j-m I'm looking for a new job

Too late, DD has already got it and is watching peppa pig :rotfl: thats it! ive lost it now :rotfl:

Right, let's get back on this bandwagon! Hope everyone is well, I'm so impressed with everyone for keeping this thread so vibrant. And to Jemma for putting so much hard work in!

I overpaid my mum loan by £1275 today, and she responded by writing off half the £800 remaining, so my former biggest debt should be gone by next month :T It's really spurred me on, so I've recalced what I owe. I'm not including my car loan, because I didn't have it at the start, and besides, it's less than the car in value so it's a net asset. Enough weasel words... first update in months and months...

#57 £9,607.76/£17,227.93 55.77%

I MIGHT ACTUALLY DO THIS AFTER ALL :j:j:j

Oh, and in addition... Jemma, I need a new weight-loss target! Can you put be down for an additional 10lbs? 24 in total. Latest update...

#57 16lbs/24lbs :beer:

On a real high today
