The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Lemon_Tree

good news about Edna. Got some news today so looks like i need a major rethink about my debt free strategy to try and shave 6 months off of it. Heaven only knows how i plan to do that, but needs must and all that.

Ah ha

I fought with BT - threw a strop (justified I have to say) and after 2 emails and several phone calls, finally someone has listened, changed my broadband package and taken £65 off my current bill.

Thanks for pushing me to do battle chaps and not standing for excessive charges or shoddy service!

Not much else to report -

Gently but lovingly taps LT up the harris with a soft stripey toe..........x

Write a list of what you want. Then prioritise it into steps that can get you there. Then make a cunning plan to get what you want.

Just cancelled one mobile phone contract up for renewal in Dec - saves £19 a month

DD's now down to £385 a month (excluding rent) its all moving forwards..........small steps!

Contemplating what to tackle next - or wait til after christmas time - although - I like PAD's wouldn't want to lose momentum by not sorting something else next.

Penguin chops £2745
OR
First Credit £2684

Both interest free, first credit is on my credit file. Penguin chops is a sort of friend. Decisions decisions.

i'd got for the one on your credit file, penguin chops has waited this long he can wait longer!
i think tomorrow i'm going to sit down and work out how much i have to find each month to knock 6 mths off my debt free date. bit tired at the moment and feeling guilty as OH is moving washing about and i'm 'playing' on the puter.
wish i has some stuff to sell and OH would do something about selling his scooter.

?? your cards are amazing why not make some packs of them and sell them on ebay or sell off some crafting bits and make back some money for your dfd

when I was selling plants and seeds I made enough for DD's wii and we have a strict one DVD in one DVD out policy - if we get anything normally something else leaves the building.........

Or sell OH and his scooter as a bargain lot -

on second thoughts - maybe doing some thing to sell your bits might make him think about selling his scooter?

First credit is is then..........penguin chops isn't answering emails anyway - maybe he's been eaten by a monster penguin?

First credit website is wierd and it doesnt look very - inspiring or particularily legitimate - any one any experience of them? I think they are a real company but so wierd not to have a 'web' presence
