The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread Part 2

yukkibear

Hi everyone I'm back after what seems like a stressful week. I have finally got my car fixed which OH is going to have, and we have bought me a new car today which I pick up next friday. I am really excited about it as I now have a 3 year old car (don't think I've ever had such a new car) but I also have a small loan, which I am determined to pay off so quickly.

It's back to the money making for me and chucking everything I have at the loan.

You guys are doing so well. I totted up my 1k in 100 days and I got to about £700 which still isn;t to be sniffed at as it's £700 I didn;t have before it.

Nicki I hope the jewellery business is getting off to a good start now it;s April, and yours MM.

Dawn not long to go before New York now is it, hope you're all getting ready etc.

I will catch up on what everyone else has been up to x

Evening everyone,

My birthday isn't quite yet mm, it's early May, but the thing I wanted from Ikea is discontinued and Ihave wanted it for about 18 months. I (well, my dad) managed to get it for £48 instead of the usual £83 as it was reduced to £58 and they sent him a £10 voucher so I'm glad I waited. It's a dressing table so I've had to move my sofa into the conservatory so it fits, my room looks huge now!

I'm going to target Etsy to start with jewellery wise as I don't have enough stock (exchange rate means I've got less for my money than I used to get) to sell in more than one place. I'm planning on expanding once I've sold a decent amount of stock/have money for more.

Well done on your wins lilmiss, I'm glad you withdrew before you lost anything. I'm not sure about the card situation Stacy, but I've had the same thing when trying to deposit with two cards of my mums. I don't understand why it won't let me as she doesn't even live at the same address...

I hope you have a relaxing easter Yukki (and I hope you have a nice break Jen)..A new car is exciting, what did you get?

I was wondering how Amy is getting on earlier, maybe she has made her fortune with the born again dolls and doesn't need us anymore lol.Either way I hope she's getting on okay.

I was thinking about Amy the other day too. Hope she's ok.

I'm getting a dark blue 1.25 Fiesta, and I love it lol. Cheaper tax and insurance etc. The loan is only 3k but alas not interest free. I opted for a flexi loan because it will give me the incentive to pay it off quicker than a lower rate standard loan. I'll see it every day when I log into internet banking and I'll hopefully hate seeing the balance so I'll chuck a small amount at it all the time. That's the plan anyway.

I've been ebaying like mad but it's all low worth stuff unfortunately, but it will all help when and if it eventually sells.

Have a nice break Jen, and well done on the early pressie Nicki, hope etsy goes well for you

jenjade

Afternoon everyone,

I guess you're all enjoying the weekend with lie ins... Mirror bingo has a £20 no deposit offer so I've done that, I won £17 on a game so deposited £10 to find that I couldn't withdraw as there was a £30 limit. Thought I was going to lose the £10 but thank god the number 5 came up and I won another £20 so am £27 in profit now. That teaches me to read the small print... Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day .

Oh, also, Iif any of you do the mirror bingo offer only deposit if you have £30+ in winnings as you can't withdraw your deposit

!!!!!!...just won another £25 after withdrawing... I should have waited to withdraw

*edit* was able to reverse last withdrawalso am £51 up now!
