How depressing...Did my ticker as below
and though I've paid £3,735.86 since joining Paper Hat gang, I've only managed a reduction of £1520.02 in my debt.
Ok, so there's £600 waiting to be off student loan, but also some interest to add to it...:( DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -

i'm sure something will turn up for you saving. dh is struggling to find a job too. he does casual work which is great but we never know when they're going to ask him to work. that's why this month of work is really handy. i don't want to be without him for a month but the money will be really handy.
just waiting for pay day now which is still over a week away so i can get something paid. argh i hate waiting!!!Goals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
Hey all! Glad you're ok and still fighting for that hat. I've not been concentrating much on money at the moment as I'm doing nowt but work and sleep. At least it stops me spending though. x:money:0
