You car mats have been talked about soooo much, if I did a search it would take me all week :eek:

OK! :rolleyes:

Basically I was fresh from my lightbulb moment. Was getting into the swing. Pucker spending diary being kept up to date. Everyday felt like a no-spend day. Looking at cutting the budget. Switched bank account to save £10 a month, that sort of thing.

Anyways, one day I decided to drive myself to Fords. To buy some new car mats. I had perfectly suitable car mats. Nice carpet ones in fact. But for some odd reason I felt compelled to buy new ones. So go into the Fords shop bit and proceeded to buy 4 mats. Cost. Nearly £70! :eek:

To this day I don't know why I did it. I didn't need them. I didn't particularly want them. I just bought them.

But folk round here won't let you forget it! :rolleyes:

Told you it weren't that good! :rotfl:

It's a bit like my LCD telly, except it cost 10 times as much, and I'm not daft enough to tell anyone about it

We all have a story I think but SS's has become legendary! Its a good thing I think, that you admitted to it SS, doesn't help the rest of us to deny it when we slip up I guess :whistle:

southernscouser say you could knock £5k off your debt over the next year by doing matched betting, how much would that bring your debt free date forward by?

Please call me SS mate. Everyone else does! :beer:

Well I'm paying off about £7,000 a year so we're probably looking at 9 or 10 months with the interest I'll save. So before the end of 2008 as I'm a month or two ahead of the one in my sig!

I did at first but then I thought writing "SS say" made me sound like I had a stutter

That would be great then - and if you could make £7,000 (not necessarily in a year) that would bring it a whole year closer?
