The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread - Part 3

Morning all,

First off, i know im well naughty aint i! Ive really fell off the band wagon! But i gave up all hope of ever moving out until OH CCJ comes off dec 2010. So thought why not! Cars are my only weakness! lol. The insurnace is the same cost as my current car, although the petrol is probably going to cost me more as its even juicer!

So thats MM, YB and me all have loans out for new cars! lol. I dont have to pay anything on my loan until july so hopefully i will have all the money to pay it off before july!

MM, i hope your appeal goes through ok for the planning permission.

Stacey, selling on ebay is so much hassle now with these dodgy buyers out there. What a pain!

Well done on the casr, I am sure you can pay it off and is always great having a new car to drive!

Stacy - sorry to hear about the ebay problems, must be a pain

I am going to spending today going to primark to return a skirt and try not to buy much else, then going to be trying to write a list of what i need for holiday so i can see what still needs to be done.

I know maria, i knew it was too good to be true, after i listed a piece of lola rose that had a tiny scratch on it she turned up nit picking at her pieces saying this shouldnt be like this ect ect, i think she was just fishing for a lot of discount because i already gave her £10 off the necklace, which i wish i didnt because i dont class that one as having anything wrong with it and after that she asked for more because she had just noticed a chip on the bracelet but i said i am not willing to give more discount send the items back so wonder why i only got one back when she said they are both clearly faulty and its the one she kept that is 'apparently' the worst. well if its any gult off your consciences i bought a car 6months old 'when i had a good job' and still owe over £7000 on it only 2 and a half years of payments left. lol

well done on the car it looks amazing

MM what a bummer about planning,. My work collegue said she got a months extra wages when she left so i should get the same although we have been taken over so i am thinking i might have to fight for it.

It is lovely here but the sun work me up at about 5am so been out to buy some thick curtains today! I have done loads of washing!

Glad you have been having a productive day Jen!

I went to Primark to return my skirt and then got a few bits for holiday there, got a beach towel and sunglasses , also a beach towel for OH. Then got two birthday cards for a pound each and some wrapping paper. Usually end up buying expesnive birthday cards so was pleased with those as they look nice.

I think Dawn left me her gambling streak when she went on holiday. I won £20 on free bingo at ladbrokes today which was a nice bonus. It's going on till tonight and then tomorrow and monday afternoon through to evening every fifteen minutes.

Evening everyone,

I hope you enjoy your new car Maria, I still owe my dad 3k for paying off the last bit of my car, though I've got half of that money in my ISA so I think we're all in the same boat lol. I hope your planning permission gets granted eventually mm, and that you sort out the ebay thing Stacy, some people are *insert expletive here*.

I've had a bit of a rubbish afternoon, almost mutually split up with my boyfriend til we realised how long we've been together and how miserable we'd be without each other, because although we're in a bit of a boring rut we do still love each other. If it doesn't work out this time we'll end it, but at least we won't hate each other. On the plus though, I've got another £65 coming from topcashback and my global test market cheque arrived today which means I only have £400 to get together this summer for the larger overdraft. Plus I fell off of the wagon a little bit and bought deftones tickets which I'm really excited about. My boyfriend has paid for mine as a birthday present, and I'm going to give the one I've paid for to my friend for her birthday .

Oh no about your boyfriend, sometime sit does feel like you are stuck in a rut. Me and my bf broke up last yera for a couple of months for that reason but realised how much i missed him, things have been good since though

I know, to be honest I think it's partially because we see each other a lot less than we did when we were at uni. We live in different places and my boyfriend has to commute between London & Brighton every day which doesn't help things. Will see how things pan out, but I'm sure whatever happens will be for a reason. I'm glad it's working out for you though .
