I usually stay at work till 6 to avoid the traffic jams, was going to leave early today but my meeting ran late, just realised everyone will be leaving now and it will be busy. My drive takes 50mins at the best of times!
Yup magic knickers, squeeze in one place and it will just pop up in another. Lovely image there!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Made it through the month with £236 left over, so have transfered that into the saver account ready for paying off OD2 when it is entirely in my name. Don't know exactly how much extra I got in my paycheck this month, need to have a look when I get my payslip at work.
Ooooh just updated my sig, another £5 paid off and I'll have paid of £10,000! :T Will have around another £600 to pay off this evening once I have read my payslip and know what came in from where!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I want to know if anyone hears about the ebay cheap listing days too!
Oh also if anyone is with retail eyes, log on, they have a 40% off wine and champers at Victoria Wine, Threshers and some other off licence voucher on there, valid until Dec 2nd so great for the money saving for Christmas Day tipples. Its a pdf format though so if you're not with RE, PM me your email addy and I will send you a copy x
I got my first two mystery shops with Gap last night, A big pizza firm and their main pizza competitor, both eat in meals for 2, a saturday and sunday night when OH is over. No fee, but a £19 reimbursement for each and since we'd go out anyway, I'm pretty happy to do it for no fee since it'll save us money in the long run.
Got my first 'bad press' on Dooyoo last night, seems I have skewed views on teenage pregnancy that aren't overly popular!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I will have already completed the money to pay off OD2, a day after setting the challenge :eek:
Your OH must be so proud of you for getting all your goals done, never mind about how quickly your chopping through them!
I mean, my only goal for today is to make some brownies, no where near like clearing £364 worth of an OD!0 -
Yep he does seem to be very proud of me and all the effort I'm putting into it, I'm chuffed with him too, he has helped me out so much with the debt busting, listing all the books and comics and wrapping so many things, and he hasn't really gotten anything out of it!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
