  • Morning peeps!:j
    Can any of you point me in the way of the debt free date calculator - if there is such a thing?!?!? I want to work out when I can get debt free, and add it to my sig, as the 'spend, spend, spend' demons are already working their evil on my brain now that I'm about to be working again:mad:

    I need you guys to keep me on the straight and narrow.:o
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    To be totally honest I wouldn't want to go anywhere with the contents of a potty. lol
    yesterday I put £22.40 in my pot. I know this is generally not normal but as it was the end of the week I decided to pop into my local hostelry and partake of some of their Guinness. I handed over a five pound note and received £2.40 in changeI then decided to put the remainder in the fruit machine (which is very unlike me) a few minutes later I had taken £25 out.I decided to treat myself with another Guinness. I came home and put this money in my sealed pot. I rationalised that I wouldn't have seen this money anyway.
    Lightbulb Moment :idea: Sept 2006

    Proud to be dealing with my debts.
