  • I agree with everyone else said - you're doing brilliantly with saving :) I might've asked this before, but are you saving for anything in particular?

    yeah i know what you mean mm ... same thing every morning !! i have been trying to do much more daily clicks but i fond it so boring for a few pennies!! but the add up to so much over the year. there is a thread where you can make £3 a day doing loads of clicks i may have to look at that again!! £21 a week! that would be worth it!!

    right off to work till 1.30 then home for the electric meter to be switched.

    i am not sure if the what are you saving for question was aimed at me or not but i will answer it anyway!!lol

    once upon a time i had £23k ish for selling my house and i lost it all so my aim is to get that money back but that is such a huge target i am aiming to fill my isa every year for the next 5 years so i can buy a house when dd is at big big school when she is 11 years old!!
    i am also saving because i can!! lol :-)

    Haha mm, yeah it is a bit like groundhog day.

    Morning everyone, hope everyone is good. Another late shift for me later, and we're so short staffed at work it's hideous.

    Off to do scratchcards etc.

    Morning All

    I went to bed so early last night, i was shattered. With much protest from Dylan. He stood outside my bedroom window yowling for cuddles for half an hour. :rolleyes: :rotfl: My neighbours love me! ;)

    Off to do scratchcards (deffo groundhog day on that!). Not got any work yet, so im just going to surf the net for Christmas pressie ideas.

    I am not so focussed on getting a house anymore. Yes its my ultimate goal, but Im not going to rush into getting one. I have decided to save up for a car first. I learnt to drive in a Peugeot 206 so really want one of those if poss, just a little something, and then I will save up for a deposit for a house, but again im not going to go mad, as i think i will end up very down.

    Anyhoo... scratchcards are calling.

    Debt: just my mortgage :D
