Just paid my last credit card off, so for the 1st time in about 10 years I don't have any outstanding balances on my credit cards :j

Now to tackle the rest of my debts, debt-busting here I come!

(do you think we should get "Debt-busting" t-shirts printed?!)

pay day today so I paid £150 off my 0% cc from my pay.
Then I paid £25 off with a Topcash cheque.
Then, tonight I've been paid £50 via Paypal for an item I sold on Ebay - that will go off the card as well.
I've forgotten what my cc debit is but these days I look forward to the statement, to see those figures dropping !

Hi eveyone,

Well - I am really chuffed as the advert I put in the local paper to advertise my services as a babysitter has started to pay off. I babysat for a family on Tuesday evening for £25 cash and am doing all day on Sunday from 6.45am til teatime so I am hoping for £60 ish and more work to come next week.

Yay! It won't last forever though as the family are having difficulties at the moment - the mother has left as she's a relapsed alcoholic and the father runs his own business working silly hours - but the kids are lovely and its all £££ for me!

New day and new good news, this is only minor but I have just gone on pigsback from a recommendation from 'Mortgage free wannabe' and have made £2.60 in about 2 minutes, i'm going to save for a costa voucher becuase I love their chocolissimo hot chocs but have only ever had 1 because they are so ridiculuosly expensive and is will be a lovely freebie for me.

I have some more good news YAY :rotfl:
Just got back from a wonderful special needs funday which DS2 thoroughly enjoyed (once we prised him away from the coke machine,got him out from under the table :rolleyes: ,put some eardefenders on him and bribed him with a treat :rotfl: oh not to mention getting him unwedged from a tiny gap he somehow wedged himself into!!)
Was very good though and we found out a lot more about the services in our area which will help us in the long run and also save us a few pennies as we can get funding for out of school clubs etc

I have received in the post 5 x vouchers from ING that will pay me £10 and a friend £10 if they open up an ING account - starting with just £1 as far as I can see!!

This could be good...

Silly news, but good all the same. I popped into tesco today to buy a chicken, took it to the checkout and the lady said it's buy one get one free. So she went to get me another chicken. So I now have 2 chickens for £2.99 bargain. Just have to get lots of ideas now how to cook different meals with them.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site (wish I had knew about this years ago...)
My good news is that I have started saving £2 savings I already have £6. I have a lovely Garfield Cat money box with "Donations Accepted" on his jumper. Wonder If I could charge my visitors £2 entrance fee

I also paid the minimum amount of £45.00 on my Bcard plus and extra £64.00 on top. In my spending days this would have been spent elsewhere. :T

Hi :wave: and welcome golden girl. Your comment made me laugh but be careful, that's a dangerous route to go down
