    you deserved a reward for being debt free maria don't regret that. I can't wait for payday on Friday- should be able to pay £325 off debt so that's £842-£325 =£517. Next payday same so £517-£325=£192 extra to find to be debt free by 1st October. Have got £140 in quidco and £45 in mbm- unfortunately don't think they will payout in time.

    Thanks Jen, ive actually been debt free since june! but the Wii was the first treat i brought since debt free, i brought it on my birthday last week:D I just got 3 games and the console one of the games, carnival games was rubbish and it sold on ebay today for £11 :). I really want the wii fit but out of stock everywhere, but im not in a rush for it.

    No i dont have kids yet, but am very, very broody :) Thats why getting a place with my fiance ASAP is so important to me! ;)

    We have a wii too, and tried carnival (took it back to the shop the next day and blagged our money back)
    The best one we have is the olympics one, it's great. We also have the wii fit, but don't play it very often, which I should.

    Well done on the listing on ebay Jen, hope you make some money.

    I have managed to do those 15 reviews for the amazon voucher :j , just hope it pays out now.

    I've had a chat with oh today and we've decided to chuck everything we can at that £557 debt as we want it gone now!!!!!! lol
    I really want to see my savings increase but there's no point paying the stupid amounts of interest on the debt.

    hi yukki, it took about a day and a half to get my voucher so don't worry if it doesn't turn up right away . Def the right decision with debt v savings for you I think.

    Im looking at getting mario kart with the free wheel. It cheapest in asda £29. Or even Wall-e coz it was such a good film! :)

    Yeah a man might be needed for that Jen :).Im 25 now, been with OH for coming up 7 years in december, everyone around me has started families, id love a family of my own. My nephews are the biggest factor to me feeling so broody though, i love them to bits! The baby boom doesnt help either! :)

    Yukkibear, your debt will be gone in no time im sure. Your all doing really well, everyones debt is under £1000 which is fab!
