  • Just made my first payment in the Pay off £*** by December 09 Challenge.

    My target is £8K which will hopefully leave me debt free and with some savings. I've worked out that this is approx £22 a day, so to get me off to a good start I have just paid that amount off my cc. It's going to be a long hard slog, especially if I can't find another job to fill my days. But I'm hoping that 2009 will be my year (aren't we all) and that I'll be able to do it.

    This week I'm working every night except Thursday, my planned night out for tonight has been cancelled, so I doubt I'll spend much after my staff meeting. Hopefully I won't spend much on Thursday (planned trip to the pub) as I think the lovely boy will be coming with me :beer:

    So now I'm off to do a bit more number crunching and job hunting.

    Much Love

    Good luck with both!
  • Just been looking back over my spending diary and I managed 14 No Spend Days in November :j

    Aiming for 10 in December I think because of Christmas shopping, socialising etc. I'm also going to be working in the day a bit too so may have to pay for parking. Off to join in the challenge now, I know I'm a few days late but I hope they let me in!!

    Much Love

  • Afternoon all

    Distastrous weekend. Had my phone stolen :mad: so that cost me a fortune to replace.

    Has set me back with reducing my debt as I'm now alot further away from getting my overdraft below £1000.

    Other than that, the job hunt continues.

    Much Love
