I am a bit proud of myself :j this year i received a nice little cash pressie from my father for my birthday and xmas combined. :xmassmile Now usually i would just blow this on treats such as DVDs, games, take aways etc and to be honest iwoudlnever be able to tell youwhat Igot with it. Well this year I have paid a huge chunk of it off my flexible loan. I did keep some back for treats but am keeping a log of exactly what treats I have got for my money! I have put it in a separate account so it doesn't get swallowed up in the day to day spending :shhh:
Also, by paying this chunk off I have reduced my minimum payments to below what i can afford to pay, so for the first time ever I can actually pay MORE than the minimum payment :j
i know its only a tiny step compared with what some of you have done but at least it is in the right direction!
Hopw you all have a lovely yule, jul, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or other Winter festival
