i just want some praise lol

well xmas came and went and i didn't realise how expensive it wud be! basically i aim to pay £400 a month back of my debts but this month i only have paid back £200 so far and wud be struggling to live and pay back my debt aim. So i have made the ultimate sacrifice and raided my Xbox 360 fund (i put £50 a month in and done it for the last two months) and have put back buying my xbox 360 for a little bit longer now :(....gutted!

but i will be able to live this month and pay the £400 of the debt.....better preplanning me thinks next time Will

    :A Turn around & let me pat you on the back.

    Who needs an xbox 360 anyway when you can occupy & amuse yourself on this site. :rudolf:
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    You have been very good and disciplined Will. When you do finally get the Xbox you will well and truly feel like you deserve it. Also its possible the price may have come down a little by the time you can afford it :).

  • Well done! Sounds like your priorities are well and truly the right way round. We were discussing new digital kitchen scales from the sales yesterday but I don't want to spend more than I have to until we're clear now - you've made me feel a whole lot less daft now.

    keep it up! :j

    Well done from me too. I know its hard, but it will be worth it in the long run. I really wanted a Kenwood Major over christmas, but since i only wanted it for the potato peeler attatchement cause i hate peeling potatoes i thought £300 was a a bit extravagant. I still want it, but i love our finances more!

    Just saw my nephews Xbox360! Big Mistake! Take the money back and go buy one now. (just kidding btw, but the 360 is very impressive).
