    Yeah just trying to organise all the bits of money in the accounts to get the deposit together. we've got the money it's just dotted all over the place. So need to pull it altogether and get the forms filled in etc.

    organisation is so annoying!

    Today is a very good day!I'm so happy for you CAFC to getting your new place - and little bit jealous.I've shared for two years now and I've had enough, going to move in with my friend next year.Doodle - good luck sorting the money.Savingholmes - I worked as a temp for council previously, then became permanent with another service area, but I agree, how can they just miss paying me?!?Anyway, as per title, it's a good day! Have listed all my stuff on auctiva to start on Sunday, free insertion day for under 99p listings! And I had a surprise when I logged into my A&L account, my £100 incentive was there!!! :) I think £63 will pay off rest off my barclaycard, all the other money will be paid off in December and the rest I'll save for BF's Christmas present. Very happy atm! :)

    Just found the piece of paper where I've put what the £100 incentive was supposed to be used for. 50/50 on putting it on student loan and to the holiday fund. That wasn't definite yet though. And it doesn't matter which money (incentive or back pay) I use paying off barclaycard cos it's just gonna be paid off. So, just paid £62 off. It's quite addictive being able to pay bits and pices all the time. In this month I've paid £100 on 17th, £11.66 on 26th, £15 on 27th and now £62. If only it could carry on like this... :)

  • Well done Titrlittan, you have made a great start to the day!

    Well I have been paid. Yahoo! so I can change my signature at last. It's been a long month as I was just able to pay stuff at the beginning really. The last couple of months I have had bits and pieces to pay back during the month so it was easier and more motivating.

    Am off to update my signature and determined to break the 1k barrier in Dec!
