The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Speaking of ebay. Managed to get 2 of the tesco 5p off fuel vouchers for £2.20. Very good since the nearest Asda is over 10 miles away in Reading. Will at least get it down to 97.9p for a when I need to fill up and the voucher have a long date. Lucky since OH is on about taking her friend to Brighton towards the end of the month.

Well done on ebay Flower.

That is good for the vouchers Poolie. I need to get petrol this week as I am driving to Southampton next weekend. Live next to petrol station but is so expensive!

I know what you mean Wendz. Tesco up the road is still 102.9 so the vouchers are going to get that down to 97.9 for at least a couple of trips to the petrol station. At least I managed to get a long date since the car does not really use much fuel anyway.

Our Tesco is actually down to 99.9p, even though the nearest Asda is about 8 miles away, which is nice.

OH and I have actually being talking about New York today but going over new year or just after which even would be the cheapest. I won't even think about going over Christmas with it being Amber's first Christmas. However I will need to see how we get on with debt busting.

Time to get the vouchers then Dinah. Could save yourself and NIM a small fortune in petrol.

I'm a bit late, hope you had fun in Kent though! You'll have to let me know where you went NT wise in the end! Might of un knowingly bumped into you somewhere.

Cinny, when is your first stall now?

Good luck with your stall! Mine is in August, no profit though as it's a charity one for an Old Folks home.

Ooerr Birdie! I think you've pulled.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!! Got back from Kent and I'm pretty knackered! Me and OH had one of those talks while we were away and figured if we start saving hard enough now we'll be able to either move out into renting next year, or move out into our own house within about 2 years. Eee!
That's great news about getting too 25% in October though Dinah, I agree with everyone else when I say you don't really need to set yourself a 'goal' for having a fab holiday in NYC but if I've learnt anything reading your thread it's that you work better to goals, plus despite what we say you'll feel like you've earnt it more if you meet them. Pretty jealous though, I'd love to go too NY!
I best hit the hay though, be nice to actually wake up tomorrow.

Glad you had a good weekend Cinny and exciting stuff talking about you and OH moving out! Im getting quite excited about OH and i moving in with his parents - how sad is that?! Im so looking forward to having a few months of not worrying about bills and really being able to put our efforts towards debts.

OH has got 3 days off work now, so as of tomorrow we are going to really start sorting through our stuff of what to pack and what can go on ebay, so hopefully will be a bit more money to put towards the CCs.

Ooo exciting moving talks for Cinny and Flower. Another MS under my belt today - didn't get the staff member's name do hope it will go through ok.

And went to my friend's barbecue for a few drinks, as she has quit one of her 3 jobs. She is a milliner and she's going to nearly full time hat-making which is really great. Got all the scandal from my old friends from college too, one has had a breast reduction since I saw her last - can't believe I didn't notice!

Otherwise quite a quiet day as OH is away down home to attend a funeral. Am up too tonight late as usual. Tough day at work tomorrow as I think something is up with our client. Am a bit nervous truth be told. Night night everyone x
