    Thanks Jellie. I have been working it out off and on all weekend. One minute I think I can do it and then something crops up and I think I can't lol.

    I need approx £12 per day extra to pay off. This will include some savings I have put by etc.

    Why does xmas have to be in december?

    I know how you feel. OH has his 40th in December too which doesn't help with the debt busting!

    £9 from BB this morning paid off.
    I won a tourney last night on Bport so that's another £5 voucher this week to go towards OH's present. I must just reach that target if I'm lucky for his present for free.

    Not sure Jen, but I was wondering whether my OH could do it too. I think I'm going to complete my offer first and then look into it.

    I've been out for lunch with my MIL today which was nice as she paid :)
    She also took me into the shop she works in and said she has put by three different pairs of slippers for me and I could choose which ones I wanted. There were two rather odd ones and lovely pair of cardi fake uggs, so of course I chose those. My feet are so warm and comfy in them.

    Nipped into Sainsburys and got DD2 a baby annabell in the half price toy sale which was still £10 cheaper than amazon are selling it so result there, and they had 25% off all clothes so got some peppa knickers to go in her stocking and a little fifi doll thing and a couple of tops.
    Spent too much but did get some bargains, and it's reduced the amount of money I need to find for my loan from £12.35 to £11.75 per day by saving that £10 on annabell.
