In Jan 2007 I had a debt of £27,896.00 :eek:In October 2011 I paid it off and owned £0.00 - Kinda proud of this!:T0

Hiya,
Miss Bez - I wouldnt count that as spending, as you are effectively using their money not yours.
Managed a NSD yesterday.0 -
My aim for another NSD failed today
I nipped into the petrol station on the way to work in a weak moment!! Just on a random tangent...the petrol station shop was a Tesco. How come they can hike prices up in the smaller shops? As an example 1 carton of Strawberry and Banana, Innocent Smoothie is £2 in the big store but something like £3.02 in the smaller store?
Apologies for the digression but this is a bit sneaky!0 -

A lot of the bigger supermarket chains have different price bands and special offers for certain products depending on the size of their stores. I used to work in one which was of a large classification and had loads of different prices and offers compared to the "corner shop" sized one just a mile down the road further in town.
Anyways, I'm on track for number four if I'm good - had the dentist this morning but have to go back to finish root canal treatment so don't have to pay till next appointment (and it's nowhere near as much as I was freaking about :T) And went to the Post Office to send away parcels and I managed to stop myself buying lunch and/or sweets & bottle of lucozade (my fizzy juice downfall) Instead had some rather nice tom soup from freezer for lunch, glass of squash and some of my Rocky Road :dance:
Might have to pop out later but will resist (or get the boyfriend to treat me)
The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
Grand Total Owed: [STRIKE]£11,000[/STRIKE]£9962 Kicking the evil HBOS card's butt: [STRIKE]£4920[/STRIKE]£4495
1% (£50) at a time member #121 - 11/100
