My new debt free life

I think it might be cheaper for you if you did it yourself?

Like booked the flight direct with the arilines website, and booked the hotel seperate as well

Ive always done it that way, I got 2 return Virgin flights for £600 whenI went

Well I am home all day now with nothing to really do so I am going to set myself a list that I must complete. I am also going to start ebaying as well to get rid of my [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasures and make some extra money for my New York trip.

I cannot find a trip to New York for cheaper than the one at Expedia. I have looked at airlines websites but the flights for 2 people come to £900 and above :eek: I am not sure whether to leave it last minute and see what I can get

On a university front I have applied to Northumbria to do Drama and Scriptwriting so I have to send them a portfolio of writing so I will add those to my daily jobs and hopefully get them done in a few days.

Well I must go as got lots to do and only 5 hours until I start making dinner so I better not do my greatest skill and procrastinate :rotfl:

Thought I would update my list as I always find crossing things off makes me more motivated

It is also psychologically better to know that I am over half way through my list, even if the jobs I have done are only small ones.

On a good night I got in to the drama school that I had my last audition at so I start there in September :j Plus, it is in Manchester so I can commute and save on living expenses. Then I will still be able to work at least 1 day a week at the cinema.

I have also booked our trip to New York :j and I am very excited :jJust need to save up for the spending money.

I am doing more hours at work and have started ebaying again so I can save as much as possible as I want to do it all!!!!!

saver03

I am SO SO SO excited about going to New York and I am sure the 10 weeks will fly by :j I just need to get seriously saving now if I want to make my £2000 spending money target. I am doing extra hours at work and lots of ebaying so as long as we stick to the budget we should be ok.

Also, on another good note I got most of my grades from college and I got 5 distinctions and 5 merits :A I am just waiting on the grades for 2 units now, and hopefully they will be disinctions too!

Well I must dash so I can get some ebaying done like a good girl!!!

saver03

Less than 9 weeks until NYC :jwell it's actually 2 months today, and I am VERY excited but worried that I won't be able to save up the spending money. When my OH gets paid on Friday I will be paying the rest off so it will be just spending money to concentrate on. I am doing lots of extra hours at work and ebaying all my boxes so fingers crossed I will be able to save up the £2000 I would ideally like to take.

Well I must dash as I want to get some ebaying done before I go to work to do my 6pm-midnight shift. I will have that spending money saved before I know it

saver03

We will be paying off the balance of our holiday tomorrow which is £1474.69 _pale_ and then we need to concentrate on saving the £2000 spending money that I would lilke to take _pale_ I hope I haven't been too adventurous in thinking that I can save all this!! I really want to do everything in New York and not have to be worrying about money so I do hope £2000 will be enough I am doing full time at work now and ebaying like a woman possessed and hopefully we will be able to save enough.
