    morning everyone. i entered loads of comps all weekend and i can't wait for the postie to come.!!

    hi mm well done on selling the phone. my target is £2,500 and i have till 2010 and that is about 18 months i think. i think it is £138.88 a month extra or £35 a week. the £20 a week i pay off my debt will go towards savings so i will need £15 a week extra break it down always looks so much better!! i am aiming to save as much as possible between 1st oct till april coz that is when i can put the money in the isa.

    Morning All

    Well my mum went back home last night :( Always a crappy day after she goes back. Nevermind.

    Im booking Alton Towers today :j Im lending my sister the money, and she is paying me back next week. :D Im so excited.

    Debt isnt going to be going down much this month as I spent far too much when mum was over. So debt free date is not looking likely for this year now. :rolleyes:

    I have just booked Alton Towers! We are going 28th/29th September. We are staying over in the Splash Landings hotel. It is costing £68 per person. What a bargain.

    :D

    I cant wait now.
