I'm glad everyone likes the thread idea.

Today, I am going to put £34.00 worth of cheques and £1.00 coins into my bank. When they have cleared they are going straight towards paying off my Capital One credit card.

I also plan to put a few things on Ebay and Amazon.

Keep motivated everyone!!

    Sorry - I thought it would be like the spending one where anyone can do it - didn;t mean to tread on your toes. Sorry.

    I've looked into what my next streps are re: stoozing as my first 0% offer is up soon. I also increased monthly repayments on my car.

    Ive written a letter to send to the manager of HR asking for my charges back and some compensation for withholding half my salary and stuffing me this month

    Ive written my CV and uploaded it on a jobs board and spoken to one of the recruitment consultants about getting a better ( and better paid ) job

    Bought a guardian ( jobs day for me) and found a few jobs for me & OH to apply for

    EDIT to say, applied for one of these jobs now ( with a 4k payrise if I get it, keep em crossed for me!)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I posted loads of ebay parcels, so feel better for doing that. Also wrote a letter yesterday to Nationwide asking why they would only give me a cash card (grrr!!). Also wrote letters to Gas/Elec/TV/Water Companies changing the bill's into my flat mates name.. I suspect this wont be as straight forward as you would think - hence why I am allowing 20 weeks (before I leave the country) to get it organised :0)

    Miss organised? Me? :0)

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
