    Hello All, back now and Happy New Year to everyone. I paid 1495.88 and have added it to my total.

    Downside? Other half lost his wedding ring I bought in US :(
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Just had to post this.....

    Went to Aldi sunday and bought myself £50 worth of skiing gear (trousers and jacket) but had an attack of guilt (or was it just sensible thinking) and decided to take them back today :j so am going to use the money to pay off some debts instead :D

    Is it as cunning as a fox who's just graduated from Cambridge with a degree in cunningness?!

  • Hi

    Have more or less completed the payments I can make with my December pay. Will have to concentrate this month on living well within my means, no unnecessary spending so that I can fall within budget by the time I get my January salary. Have completed 17% of my target but this was with the help of some savings I had left over from my Christmas shopping!

    Everyone is doing sooooo well...... keep up the great work!

  • Paid off my credit cards today. They are closed and cancelled. That is £325. It will be weird living without credit cards. My next project is my M&Co card £480. Little by little. I am not including my mortgage in this project - am I meant to???
