  • It doesn't matter though, every bit counts as they say and £300 is quite a lot of money!!! At least it is coming off your debts and not going on them!

    Yes, I have to say I'm really pleased. When I get all the payments in this month, I'll be finally approaching £1500 mark on paper hat challenge. Tenth of a way there. :) Unfortunately, will be the only month that I'll make that much head way...maybe.

  • Tirlittan - that's great, well done for paying it off a debt so quickly.

    I completely forgot about my child benefit so was happy this morning when I checked and it had gone in (£175) just waiting for the next cc statement to come in before I pay it off a debt. Am looking forward to Xmas being over so I can do the Payment a Day challenge, I'm aiming to pay £1 a day off a debt. I'm saving my coins too. It's all exciting, my aim is to be debt free by 31 Dec 09 so am hoping to get it all sorted before then - hard task but I'm determined!

  • Hi all

    I was feeling lacklustre too, so I went and got some chocolate and now I still feel lacklustre but I now also feel annoyed that I have basically eaten crap for diner following on from crap for lunch.

    Oh I also went shopping for houseware!!!! (thankfully only £19 spent, could have been much worse)

    I think it might be time for some booze.

    After doing some alcohol intake training at work I've been feeling guilty about my booze levels so I'm sticking with Pepsi max :o

  • I was looking at child obesity figures today - didn't stop me eating sh!te all day - sadly I seem to think it all doesn't apply to me (mind you, I am not a child so I guess it doesn't :rotfl: :D)

    I don't even know if I want a drink, I just don't really know what I want to do this evening. I SHOULD be doing my cleaning and sewing the hem back up on a pair of trousers and a skirt :(

    Hmmm maybe I should just go to bed.
