The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

jenjade

Once i ahve reached my total for my isa and i have done x mas out of the way i am going to save up and buy a nice flat screen tv for the lounge. i recon i need about £400.

it shouldn't take me long to get to my total i need £900 but i should have the cheque for over £400 from the electric so thatwould take it down to £500 so with the scratchcards, dooyoo etc i should be able to get it by the end of jan (plus i am saving £25 a week that i was paying off my debt)

ok i will work out when i should have the cash by

£900- £400 (hopefully) = £500
less £100 ( £25 a week for Nov)= £400
less £26 quidco and £50 dooyoo (£76) = £325
less £100 (£25 a week for Dec)= £225

so i need to make an extra £225 by end dec to have all my isa money. i recon i can do that i will need to do something to get it though!!

oh and some from scratchcards. should have £10 with all the sites by xmas so that would be £60

Evening everyone,

Well been out all day, shopped then visited a friend, but the weather got so bad i came home a little early. I'm now in the nice and warm, have just put my online rental dvd on, and chilling with the laptop. 7.30 X Factor time!!!!! YAY!!!

My shopping didn't go to plan, it was sooo busy i didn't buy myself any new clothes, but instead i went into boots and spent £50, well i actually only spent £40 because i had a £10 voucher from Pigsback, but today was the special points promotion, spend £50 get £10 back in points. I had a 500 points coupon if a bought something from protect and perfect range, so i bought some hand cream. So in total, spent £40, and got £16.60 back in points. I got my lil niece another christams pressie, and a few bits for myself.

Whats everybody elses plans for tonight??
