Right so... everythings been semi arranged and each week I will be spending around £40 extra. So thats £160/£200 a month. However I have spoken to Mum and she will reduce my house keeping my £40 so I will only need to find £120/£160. I wont be starting untill 4th so this month I need to find £80.
I plan to have this outgoing untill christmas.
So out of the £150 I have spare I only now have £70. Thats £50 for the fair although I want to get this down to £30 and £20 for postage and stuff.
Working up to and including July's pay day that would make my outgoings
M ~ Total = £446.90 ~ leaving £50 for argos
J ~ Total = £469.90 ~ leaving £30 for argos
J ~ Total = £406.90 ~ Leaving £90 for argos
So after the 0% deal I will get interest on £27.81. I know this isnt good but I feel what I am doing is needed more than this debt just now. If need be I have £30 in my isa savings for xmas so I can withdraw that for the remainder. Also I can reduce my savings each month to pay off the missing bits.
Once everything is in motion and before next payday i may share what this outgoing is but just now I want to keep it to myself as its personal
Hope you are all having a great week :j0 -

Hey PAP, talking of sewing machines, I have 2 in my garage doing nothing, one was a gift and one was mine which I have barely used
you are more than welcome to have my spare if you want it. I'd rather it went to use rather than just rotting in the garage.

Oh my word Toto, really :j Ohhh you have just made my year :j I dont know how I could get it down here? Maybe you can put it in the post? I will cover all costs etc. I did put a post on freecycle but no one emailed me and the ones on ebay are too far away. Would you like any money for it?0 -
No worries, honestly I forget they are there until I either clean up the Garage or someone mentions sewing. They are just sitting there and you are most welcome to one of them. PM me your addy and I'll get one in the post tomorrow or Friday, it'll be before we go away on Saturday though.:A
