urgh dreaded SLP lol- you should get your MBM payment next month shouldnt you?
Also my boss was on today about a tax rebate we should get next month-something to do with the 10p tax band being scrapped and gov trying to make up for it-he said should be £60. I dont understand tax at all but i hope its true!!0 -

i will have £200 to pay in spet to be debt free by 1st oct. £200 divided 4 weeks is £50 a week i pay £20 a week now anyway so i need £30 a week extra. so i need £120 extra
i might try for £10 a week on slice the pie. i have £48.50 validated ( £7.69 pending )to be paid on first sept fingers crossed. so that would be £88.50 and i should have over £50 from quidco it is marked for payent in august bet i expect it start sept. so that would be £138.50 and i needed £120 so i should be able to do it easy but you never know what will happen. i might do some e bay amazon etc we will see:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart

Excellent jen,hope quidco etc pay out soon for you- hopefully you will win some more comps that you can sell the prizes from!!
as for me-i've got £875 to go, hopefully £325 payment from wages this month= £550, £325 payment from end of sep's wages=£225 left . If i get most of my quidco,MBM and that tax rebate i will be able to do it by beginning of oct otherwise it will be end of october-still good though yay!!!!0 -

that looks good mm are you planning on saving £325 a month from your wages? that is loads to be able to use out your wages! i am aiming to save at least £100 every month. i have moved £70 into my savings today from paypal i might need it for the electrianican if not i will save it for my isa. i am not sure if i will need £2,600 or a bit less as i have some money that is locked up till may this year i think i was about £1,000 which i why i need £2,600 not £3,600 but i think it will have some interest so i probably won't need that much. i want to get as much as i can by the 6th april 2009 to pay in but i am aware i have an mot and car tax in october and my hours are up for review again i could lose 4 hours a week?! fingers crossed they stay the same.
has anyone got any plans for this weekend?:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart

Hi jen -the only number i have is for my banking where you have to put in your id number. Just had a look on the website and this 0800 068 6069 is a number to apply for a current account-i would try ringing that and ask to be put through to someone that can help-good luck!
I dont think my friend is aiming for it to be published but i reckon it could be with a few tweaks ,its a sort of lord of the rings/harry potter type book but with a female heroine.0
