Hello everyone-hope you had a great christmas :-) I hate boxing day-xmas is over and i'm bored and feel sick coz eaten too much quality street!

Had a nice surprise yesterday though-parents gave me £500!!! gave it straight back to them off the car loan though :-)Not sure why they did it as normally they give me £50 but not gonna argue! Also had £50 from my uncle which with my £50 christmas bonus knocked £100 off debt 1 -what a good little mse'er i am lmao.
Now i owe a total of £5741-i want to pay that off this (next ) year...hmmm can i do it? I've joined the sealed pot challenge so that wil be opened next Dec 1st or 2nd i think to give me a payment off the debt but can i get the rest by then? without anything from sealed pot that works out to £478.41 a month!!!!!!!!!!! My normal payment from wages is £250...hmmmmm thats a lot extra!
Oh well doesnt hurt to try!

Good luck with getting rid of the debt, MM - I'm sure that with a bit of extra income from online too, you can do it

Just in case anyone doesn't kow, I just had an email to say it's 5p listing weekend on ebay - http://pages.ebay.co.uk/sell/5pDec08/

MM you can do it just break it down! £478 a month so about £120 a week or £17 a day! umm ok still sounds like a fair bit but i recon you can do it!!

moneymabel

jenjade

moneymabel

apart from the money I got 3 pairs of slippers (???!!!) nice soft dressing gown a fleece and jumper, cases for my satnav and CDs some books and loadsa chocs. How about you?

I got some chocolate, a DS game (sims), a mug and loads of money! Which is great. i am saving £100 and spending £ 60 if i see anything i want. DD got load and load and loads!!

Would it be worth joining the £10 a day thread to help with the extra money you want?

moneymabel

did think about it but decided not to as doing 2 challenges already , I read the thread for ideas but didn't want to post on another thread as I get confused enough already!!

Evening all, we've had a lovely day with MIL spending quality time together as a family which has been lovely. Went out for a walk in the bitterly cold.

I've joined up to the complete the challenge challenge and posted my rather large goals for next year, bit scary but want to be productive and happy at the same time next year so determined not to let my life go past - phew that was a bit deep lol and I haven;t had any wine yet.

Glad you guys had a lovely xmas. MM that's great on the debt front, keep going.

Thanks CL was thinking of starting to lost on Ebay this weekend so this is great news as will make my profits better if stuff sells.
